Abundance of Benthic Macrofauna on the Coast of Placentia Bay (2019-2020)Link copied to clipboard!
-
- Description:
- The identity and abundance of individual benthic macrofauna (individual > 2 cm) were quantified across six survey areas located along the coast of Placentia Bay, a southern embayment of the Island of Newfoundland. From early 2019 to mid 2020, surveys were conducted at point-wise locations using a drop-camera to observe the seafloor. In total, 282 drop-camera transects were obtained, each consisting of 2 continuous minutes of video set roughly 1 - 2 meters above the seafloor. The project is led by the *School of Ocean Technology Fisheries and Marine Institute* of Memorial University of Newfoundland: You can find more information on the website of [**4D Oceans Lab**](https://www.4d-oceans.com/).

This project is part of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Coastal Environmental Baseline Program under Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan (OPP). L'identité et l'abondance de la macrofaune benthique individuelle (individu > 2 cm) ont été observées dans six zones de relevé situées le long de la côte de la baie de Placentia, une baie située au sud de l'île de Terre-Neuve. De début 2019 à mi-2020, des enquêtes ont été menées à des endroits ponctuels à l'aide d'une caméra de recul pour observer le fond marin. Au total, 282 transects de caméra de recul ont été obtenus, chacun consistant en 2 minutes consécutives de tournage vidéo à environ 1 à 2 mètres au-dessus du fond marin. Le projet est mené par la *School of Ocean Technology Fisheries and Marine Institute* de l'Université Memorial de Terre-Neuve : Vous pouvez trouver plus d'information sur le site de [**4D Oceans Lab**](https://www.4d-oceans.com/).

Ce projet fait partie du Programme sur les données environnementales côtières de référence de Pêches et Océan Canada dans le cadre du Plan de protection des océans (PPO).
