English term or phrase: epifaunal
Hello,

I'm translating a guidance document on aquaculture and I didn't find any equivalent to the English term "epifaunal" in French... Many thanks if you can help me! :)

Here's more context:

"Identify the receiving habitat types, understand their response to smothering, for example changes to infaunal and epifaunal communities"
or
"Presence of mussels increases epifaunal diversity".

de l'épifaune


Explanation:
"L’épifaune est le nom de la biologie des animaux marins de fond, benthos, vivant dans une eau douce ou salée. On parle d'épifaune pour les animaux vivant à la surface du sédiment, d’endofaune pour ceux vivant à l'intérieur. Par extension, on parle d'épifaune et d'endofaune pour les animaux vivant sur ou à l'intérieur d'un animal benthique. L'épifaune et l'épiflore constituent l'épibenthos."
