Characterization of sediment and faunal attributes of Simoom Sound, British Columbia

Characterization of sediment and faunal attributes of Simoom Sound, British Columbia These datasets provide information pertaining to sediment grain size, porosity, organic content, total carbon and nitrogen concentrations, trace element concentrations, chlorophyll and phaeopigment concentrations, and meiofauna and macrofaunal abundance in Simoom Sound between November, 2000, and February, 2001. Data formatting of files were performed by Meagan Mak. Sutherland et al (2023) covers the benthic component of a broader project investigating potential modification of marine ecosystems by shrimp trawling and trapping on the central coast of British Columbia. Sediment and infaunal samples were collected before and after fishing with commercial fishing gear consisting of otter-trawl, beam-trawl, and trap-lines. Simoom Sound was sampled in November 2000 and February 2001. Tabulated data of sediment characteristics that include sediment grain size, porosity, carbon and nitrogen content, trace-element, and chlorophyll concentrations are presented in this report. In addition, the infaunal data are comprised of both macrofaunal and meiofaunal communities. 2025-02-17 Fisheries and Oceans Canada Terri.Sutherland@dfo-mpo.gc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyBritish ColumbiaSimoon Soundsediment transportporositycarbon and nitrogen concentrationChlorophyllphaeopigmentabundancedensitydistributionOceanographyAquatic ecosystemsSediments Data DictionaryPDF https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/Data_Dictionary_Simoom_Sound_Macrofauna_Meiofauna_EN_FR.pdf ReferencesPDF https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/REFERENCES_EN_FR_SimoomSound.pdf Simoom Sound MeiofaunaCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_meiofauna.csv Simoom Sound Sediment Grain SizeCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_sed_grain_size.csv Simoom Sound Sediment ChlorophyllCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_sed_chlorophyll.csv Simoom Sound Sediment Porosity Carbon Nitrogen and Organic ContentCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_sed_carbon_nitrogen_porosity_organics.csv Simoom Sound Sediments Trace-elementsCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_sed_trace_elements.csv Characterization of sediment and faunal attributes of Simoom SoundESRI REST https://egisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/open_data_donnees_ouvertes/characterization_sediment_faunal_attributes_simoom_sound/MapServer Characterization of sediment and faunal attributes of Simoom SoundESRI REST https://egisp.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/arcgis/rest/services/open_data_donnees_ouvertes/characterization_sediment_faunal_attributes_simoom_sound/MapServer Canadian Data Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 1366PDF https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/Fish%20Gear%20Data%20Report%20Simoom%20Sound%20Sed%20Meio%20Macro_2023_03_29.pdf Simoom Sound MacrofaunaCSV https://api-proxy.edh-cde.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/catalogue/records/59c850c5-588a-4790-a07e-b09ce79b64c0/attachments/simoom_sound_macrofauna.csv
