Mapping areas of high phytoplankton biomass in the offshore component of the Scotian Shelf Bioregion : a remotely-sensed approach / C. Fuentes-Yaco, M. King, and W.K.W. Li.: Fs70-5/2015-036E-PDF
The main purpose of this document is to identify phytoplankton-rich areas in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion, designated as areas of persistent elevated chlorophyll concentration detected by remote sensing. Regions that contain comparatively higher biomass than surrounding areas are considered Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas under the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Aggregation criterion and possibly the Convention on Biological Diversity Biological Productivity criterion, so they can be considered in Marine Protected Area network development for the Scotian Shelf Bioregion (DFO 2014).
