520 |aThe potential of using Habitat suitability models (HSMs) to investigate cetacean distribution on the Scotian Shelf was explored by conducting a scientific literature review of HSMs used for cetaceans, compiling and evaluating cetacean and environmental data available for the Scotian Shelf, and applying chosen HSMs to selected species. Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) models were performed for northern bottlenose and Sowerby’s beaked whales using five environmental variables: ocean depth, seafloor slope, seafloor aspect, sea surface temperature and Chlorophyll-a concentration. This work highlights the potential effectiveness of HSMs to predict key areas for cetacean conservation within the Scotian Shelf Bioregion; however, further refinement is needed before results can be more broadly applied.
