Mapping areas of high phytoplankton biomass in the offshore component of the Scotian Shelf Bioregion [electronic resource] : a remotely-sensed approach / C. Fuentes-Yaco, M. King, and W.K.W. Li. Cartographie des zones de biomasse phytoplanctonique élevée dans la composante hauturière de la biorégion du plateau néo-écossais : une approche par télédétection Ottawa : Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2015. iv, 40 p. : fig., graphs, maps, tables. Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat research document, 1919-5044 ; 2015/036, Maritimes Region "July 2015." Includes bibliographical references (p. 25-27). The main purpose of this document is to identify phytoplankton-rich areas in the Scotian Shelf Bioregion, designated as areas of persistent elevated chlorophyll concentration detected by remote sensing. Regions that contain comparatively higher biomass than surrounding areas are considered Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas under the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) Aggregation criterion and possibly the Convention on Biological Diversity Biological Productivity criterion, so they can be considered in Marine Protected Area network development for the Scotian Shelf Bioregion (DFO 2014). gccst Aquatic ecosystems gccst Microorganisms gccst Fisheries management Canada.
