The YC7-4, YC19-1, YC21-1, and YC35-1 structures were mainly developed in settings changing from fan delta and onshore to littoral-neritic and neritic to
bathyal environment.

bathyal benthic foraminifera of the Campos Basin, Southeastern Brazilian margin: biotopes and controlling ecological factors.
The
bathyal holothurians of the New Zealand Region.
Studies of
bathyal and sublittoral sites indicate that foraminiferal communities show seasonal (as well as shorter time-scale) changes resulting from the level of primary production (Gooday, 1993; Thomas and Gooday, 1996; Schmiedl et al., 2000; Fontanier et al., 2003) and organic carbon flux (Wollenburg and Kuhnt, 2000).
The book features descriptions of each of the groups covered, detailed line drawings of species within each group, and maps showing the distribution of
bathyal and abyssal species of the Arctic Ocean.
nigricans usually inhabits a water column with a height of about 200 m or more and is the most tropical of all xiphioid species, its presence supports the hypotheses that the Oso Member was deposited at upper
bathyal depths or greater and that the coastal paleoclimate of southern California was warmer during the late Miocene than at present.
In The Silent Deep, Koslow--a former CSIRO marine scientist--provides his readers with a full account of the deep ocean, including the history of exploration, the chemical and physical forces that generate life, and the ecology of seamounts and the species-rich (possibly the richest) ecosystems that are the abyssal and
bathyal plains.
Tube morphology and structure of the
bathyal Mediterranean serpulid Hyalopomatus variorugosus Ben-Eliachu & Fiege, 1996 (Annelida, Polychaeta).
The Cenozoic benthic foraminiferal assemblages in most of these wells, as described from cuttings samples plus occasional sidewall core samples, are typical for neritic or upper or lower
bathyal conditions.
The deep system is then divided into three major zones or habitats:
bathyal, abyssal, and hadal.
