Certaines espèces de poissons par exemple ne vont se développer que dans un seul type de faciès (ainsi la perche fluviatile, poisson pélagique qui affectionne les zones profondes à courant lent, se cantonnera aux faciès mouilles ou chenaux lentiques). D'autres vont avoir besoin de deux ou trois types de faciès différents dans leur territoire (c'est le cas du barbeau fluviatile qui se déplace au cours de la journée entre les faciès plats et radiers où il se nourrit, et les faciès mouilles ou chenaux lentiques où il se repose). 2, record 2, French, - chenal%20lentique
