Atlantic benthic metrics normal ranges (2002-2021) : metric reference values for use in Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) assessments.: CW66-1590/2025E-PDF

"Within the Atlantic Region, there is a need for more tools to help with the interpretation of benthic data collected by the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN). This is why we, the ECCC CABIN team in Atlantic, calculated the Atlantic benthic normal ranges reference values. These normal ranges can be used 1) in combination with a Reference Condition Approach model to better explain the divergence observed in the benthic community, or 2) on their own to investigate the condition of the benthic macroinvertebrate community at a site and see how it compares to metrics from the broader Atlantic region. The normal ranges were calculated using benthic data from all 26 CABIN studies within the Atlantic Provinces that have reference and potential reference sites, for the period 2002 to 2021. This document is shared with all the CABIN users in the Atlantic region"--Executive summary, page 2.
