Predictive benthic habitat suitability model for the Estuary and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence (2006) / by Mélanie Lévesque ... [et al.].: Fs97-6/2893E-PDF
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. The habitat suitability model (HS) derived from those data explained nearly 40% of the variation in oxygen saturation, temperature, and bottom current. Results from the prediction model therefore allowed the identification of zones of greater and lesser suitability for specific species community types, highlighted by canonical analysis. This study also assembled a primary database of benthic habitats and physical parameters for the St. Lawrence system.
