Location description (1957)

Eddystone (Inner) Channel Grounds (32-38 fm.). Eddystone 1-8 miles distant from north-north-west to east-north-east. The bottom is fine sand. This infauna here is similar to that of the Looe-Eddystone grounds, but enriched by the presence also of Nucula turgida, Lucinoma borealis, Cyprina islandica, Cardium echinatum, Echinocardium cordatum and Glossobalanus sarniensis. Chaetopterus variopedatus is also present in considerable numbers. Close to the Eddystone rocks, with the lighthouse bearing east-north-east to north-east, thornback rays (Raia clavata) are more plentiful than further out. Further information about the fauna of this ground is given by Holme (1953).
