Russian term or phrase: свальный характер (рельефа дна)
Также у северного берега о. Северный арх. Новая Земля, благодаря свальному характеру рельефа дна, наблюдается апвелинг, способствующий разрастанию фито- и зоопланктона, что приманивает в этот район кормовые объекты этих животных.

steeply sloping shelf
Explanation:
Мне представляется, что речь идет об этом:

Habitat utilization by Blainville’s beaked whales off Great Abaco, northern Bahamas, in relation to seabed topography
...
The study area was approximately 35 km in length and up to 16 km in width, with the southern edge aligned with the 26o20'N parallel and the western edge aligned with the 77o00'W meridian, and included areas of coral reefs, shallow shelflike areas, steeply sloping shelf-edge-like areas, the upper reaches of a marine canyon (Little Abaco Canyon) and deep oceanic areas (Fig. 1).

Primary productivity and nitrogen uptake in the subsurface chlorophyll maximum on the Eastern Agulhas Bank

Dynamical upwelling at the steeply sloping shelf break probably ...

Effects of stratification and shelf slope on nutrient supply in coastal upwelling regions
...
In contrast, strong stratification and a steeply sloping shelf may produce a relatively small inner shelf region with less nutrient input to fuel potential production.

Upwelling source depth in the presence of nearshore wind stress curl
...
The greatest source depths reached were in a weakly stratified water column with steeply sloping shelf.

Rocky sea floor (или rocky seabed)


Explanation:
Не "свальный", а "скальный". Скорее всего, опечатка. Слово "характер" можно опустить. В англ.оно не нужно.

  -> Никогда не встречала применительно к геомрфлогии океана.... Если есть доступ к заказчику, лучше уточнить.
neutral  Cornelius Gillen: maybe a misprint, but the word свальный can mean trough or furrow, which relates to the shape of the sea bed

В источниках, приведенных в моем комментарии к ответу Ирины, говорится об озерах. В данном же случае речь идет об океане и перепаде рельефа непосредственно у берега, поэтому считаю применимым термин "континентальный шельф".

neutral  Oleg Lozinskiy: В исходнике речь идет, конечно же, о континентальном шельфе, но при этом - о "свальном" континентальном шельфе, способствующем апвеллингу.

agree  El oso: Я тоже думаю, что "свальный" это о "крутизне/обрывистости"
6 mins
  -> Спасибо! Степень крутизны склона морского дна в береговой зоне является одним из факторов, определяющих интенсивность апвеллинга.
agree  Cornelius Gillen

  -> Thank you!
neutral  Irina Shevchenko: В любом случае нужно к определению добавить "seabed" или "sea floor" вместо continental shelf. У Вас shelf.

  -> А где в моем ответе или пояснениях/примерах Вы увидели словосочетание "continental shelf"???
