Description: Largest species of the Bathyporeia genus measuring up to 8 mm long. Robust and laterally flattened body. Head without rostrum but with clearly discernible eyes. The upper antennae seem to be standing on an outgrowth of the head. [details]
Distribution: Bathyporeia guilliamsoniana was found in both periods across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea, with the exception of the eastern coastal zone. In both periods the species reached a maximum density of approximately 800 ind./m2. [details]
Distribution: often abundant [details]
Habitat: Bathyporeia guilliamsoniana prefers coarse sediments with a median grain size > 200 µm (relative occurrence > 20%). The species further avoids sediments with high mud contents (maximum 20%) and reaches its maximum relative occurrence (± 20%) in sediments with a mud content not exceeding 10%. [details]
