Patterns of benthic mega-invertebrate habitat associations in the Pacific Northwest continental shelf waters

2015-07-01

Abstract excerpt

As human impacts and demands for ocean space increase (fisheries, aquaculture, marine reserves, renewable energy), identification of marine habitats hosting sensitive biological assemblages has become a priority. Epifaunal invertebrates, especially the structure-forming species, are an increasing conservation concern as many traditional (bottom-contact fishing) and novel (marine renewable energy) ocean uses have t...
