Form ample lifting prairies of the primary production, the oxigenation and even influences in the movement of the masses of water. Seated initially in rocky bottom to 20 m.s of depth, it is populated by numerous species with equinodermos and cephalopods (common squid), nacra (bivalvo giant) and the red stars.
