"Distribution and composition of benthic invertebrates collected on the 2017 DFO Summer Research Vessel Multispecies Survey (NED2017020) on the Scotian Shelf and Slope and Bay of Fundy (NAFO Divisions 4VWX5Z) between 49 and 1348 m depth are described. Pending a more detailed taxonomic study, the total number of benthic invertebrate taxa identified from the 244 valid stations was 177, representing 12 different phyla. Benthic biomass ranged from 0.02 to 477.24 kg per station, and was dominated by the Arthropoda and Echinodermata. The data collected were also used to evaluate previously published species distribution models and Significant Benthic Areas (SBAs). In general there was good congruence between the survey catch data, and both the predictive surfaces and SBAs for corals, sponges, and other benthic taxa forming ecologically or biologically significant areas"--Abstract, p. iv.
