Atlas of sponges from the estuary and northern gulf multidisciplinary trawl survey in 2006-2017 / by Claude Nozères, Geneviève Faille, Geneviève Côté, and Sophie Proudfoot.: Fs97-6/3364E-PDF

"This report is intended to provide an update on marine sponges (Phylum Porifera) found in the Lower Estuary and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence. A digital photo catalogue was reviewed for sponge captures collected from multidisciplinary trawl surveys conducted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans between 2006 and 2017. Photos from 814 trawl sets revealed 16 sponge taxa, with records presented as maps by presence and catch biomass. This review with the photo catalogue also served to correct values for some of the large sponge catches. Recently established sponge marine refuges are characterized here for the first time for the presence and relative abundance of these distinctive sponge taxa sampled in scientific trawl sets"--Abstract, page iv.
