Abstract

This data set was obtained during 2 ENVISION-IFREMER field campaigns carried out in 2007 and 2011 to sustain a Pectinid aquaculture project. This project was co-funded by ODEADOM and the public collectivity of Saint Pierre et Miquelon. Potential areas for further aquaculture exploitation and development on the Eastern coast of Saint Pierre et Miquelon.

CTD data collected during the French oceanographic cruises or joint programs.

Biologic data have been expressed in abundance (numbers or density values (nbr/km²)) and always required to be log-transformed using a log10(x+1) transformation.

Species habitat occupation has been expressed as rare, occasional, frequent, recurrent depending on density levels and variability over time.

Species habitat occupation, observed during the first quarter IBTS from 1980 to 2010, has been expressed as rare, occasional, frequent, recurrent depending on density levels and variability over time.

Species habitat occupation, observed during the third quarter IBTS from 1991 to 2010, has been expressed as rare, occasional, frequent, recurrent depending on density levels and variability over time.
