Epibenthic megafauna of the Flemish Pass and Sackville Spur (northwest Atlantic) identified from in situ benthic image transects / by L.I. Beazley and E.L. Kenchington.: Fs97-6/3127E-PDF

This technical report serves a twofold purpose: 1) to describe in detail the methods used to acquire, process, and analyze the benthic images collected in the Flemish Pass/western Flemish Cap slope and Sackville Spur, and 2) to provide a visual representation of the epibenthic megafauna recorded in the images, and their taxonomic identities as reported in previous publications. As the Department of Fisheries and Oceans currently does not have a means of archiving image data for public use, this report is meant to assist in future monitoring of these areas by providing a visual guide and detailed descriptions of the epibenthic megafauna recorded in these areas, and should serve as a source for applying a common nomenclature for future applications.
