TL;DR: This biomass census and associated maps are vital components of mechanistic deep-sea food web models and global carbon cycling, and as such provide fundamental information that can be incorporated into evidence-based management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a pan-Arctic account of the species diversity of the macro- and megabenthic fauna of the Arctic marginal shelf seas, based on an analysis of 25 published and unpublished species-level data sets, together encompassing 14 of the 19 marine Arctic shelf ecoregions.

TL;DR: Considering the difficulties encountered in compiling an overview of biogeographic data and the diversity of species or taxa in Canada's three oceans, this synthesis is intended to serve as a biodiversity baseline for a new program on marine biodiversity, the Canadian Healthy Ocean Network.

TL;DR: In this article, epi-benthic megafauna was sampled at 755 stations in the Lower Estuary and Northern Gulf of St Lawrence (EGSL) each summer between 2006 and 2009.

TL;DR: Levesque et al. as mentioned in this paper used geostatistical techniques and a generalized linear model (GLM) approach to describe the affinity of macrofaunal communities to environmental parameters in the Estuary and the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence using bycatch and environmental data from 2006.
