Burrow wall surface area per unit sediment volume, Sv, as a function of depth for burrow network simulations of the Thalanassid shrimp Callianassa subterranea using (A) U-shaped burrows (North Sea site parameters), (B) U- and Y-shaped burrows (North Sea & Davies Reef site parameters) or (C) L-shaped and vertical + 45° inclined shapes (Scottish Loch site parameters). Data used for all calculations are shown in Table 1.
