A pictorial guide to the epibenthic megafauna of the Lophelia Coral Conservation Area identified from in situ benthic images / by Michelle Korabik, Emily Baker, Lindsay Beazley, Sarah Thompson, Mariève...: Fs97-6/3430E-PDF

"This report summarizes the epibenthic megafauna found from a randomly-selected subset of the images collected. In total, 249 taxa were recorded, 188 of which were identified to one of the following phyla or phyla groupings: Annelida, Arthropoda, Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Chordata/Porifera, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Nemertea, and Porifera. Where possible, taxa were identified to lower taxonomic levels; often class, order, or family. Each taxon entry includes are presentative image, a written description, and associated identification numbers from the World Register of Marine Species and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System databases. The report is intended to support present and future analyses of both the biodiversity associated with L. pertusa and its recovery in the LCCA. It may also serve as a taxonomic guide for image analyses of northwest Atlantic fauna"--Abstract.
