Hi,
Yes, but the only way that hardness can currently be exported (for import into another GIS app) is as calculated isoareas in Shapefile format. These areas are created by contouring the hardness values, in a similar way to how the standard bathymetric maps contour depth values. This might be OK if the data you have is arranged in such a way that a map can be generated from it. If not, it may not prove that useful to you.
What kind of habitat are you looking for? The sidescan mosaic module (release in a few weeks) may be more useful, as it is often very easy to determine the nature of the bottom from the sidescan return.
