Invertebrate biodiversity and photo catalogue from the 2018 northern and striped shrimp stock assessment survey in Davis Strait, Hudson Strait, and Northern Labrador coast / by Olivia Lacasse, Virginie...: Fs97-6/3351E-PDF

"This report is intended to give information on the bycatch of primarily benthic marine invertebrate species from a collaborative survey carried out in 2018 by the Northern Shrimp Research Foundation (NSRF) and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Central and Arctic Region in Davis Strait, Hudson Strait, Ungava Bay and along the Northern Labrador Coast. An analysis of captures and photos taken from 121 stations revealed the presence of 296 taxa representing 12 phyla, including 78 taxa of arthropods and 54 taxa of echinoderms. The normalized biomass of bycatch was 221 kg in Davis Strait, primarily composed ofsponges (130 kg), and 160 kg in Hudson Strait, primarily composed of arthropods (119 kg). This work is complementary to other recent photo catalogues from neighboring areas and increases our knowledge of the invertebrate diversity in this region, adding to the existing body of work from the Eastern Canadian Arctic"--Abstract, page iv.
