| Summary: | Measurements of biomass and productivity of seabed macrobenthic and megabenthic organisms, from studies in eastern North America from New England to the Canadian Arctic dating from 1954 to 2000, have been assembled into a comprehensive, georeferenced, database. Information sources include primary publications, technical reports and unpublished data from scientific studies, commercial fisheries surveys, and monitoring and baseline studies carried out for offshore petroleum exploration. See Stewart et al 2001 for more details. This resource contains biomass information extracted from the database (Stewart et al, 2001) for the following taxonomic groups: crustacea, echinodermata, mollusca, polychaeta and 'other'. This dataset contains 'absence' records as the source dbase includes valid biomass values of zero. Each data record includes a reference to the source in the DwC.associatedReferences field. Version 1 of this resource was created during the Census of Marine Life. Version 3 of this resource contains ... |
