Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence seabed data aggregated into 100 km² cells, with 26 variables describing salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, depth, slope, and sediment variability. Cluster analysis grouped cells into 13 distinct megahabitats, four for deep waters and nine for areas outside channels. The dataset supports marine habitat mapping for conservation and integrated management purposes.
This dataset describes Conservation Units (CUs) for Chum Salmon on Canada's Pacific coast, defined by ecotypology, life history, and genetics. It includes CU boundaries, associated counting sites for spawner escapement data, and a biological status assessment (Red, Amber, Green) for each unit. The CU boundaries were updated in March 2023 using the BC Freshwater Atlas at a 1:20,000 scale.
September 2008 data from a single 610 cm female basking shark tracked for 125 days via a Pop-up Satellite Archival Tag. The dataset contains processed maximum likelihood position estimates, depth (pressure), temperature, and ambient light level profiles. Data was collected in Atlantic Canadian waters and processed using Wildlife Computers GPE3 software with specific environmental references.
This dataset defines Conservation Units (CUs) for Coho Salmon on Canada's Pacific coast, based on a framework integrating ecotypology, life history, and genetics. It includes associated counting sites for spawner enumeration data and assigns Red, Amber, or Green status zones to each CU based on biological assessments. The CU boundaries were updated in March 2023 using the BC Freshwater Atlas at a 1:20,000 scale.
37 Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags deployed on mako sharks from 2011 to 2013 collected depth, temperature, and light-level data. Sharks ranged from 80 cm to 229 cm Fork Length, with tags reporting for up to 185 days at liberty. Fisheries and Oceans Canada processed the raw transmissions to provide maximum likelihood position estimates and depth-temperature profiles.
46 Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) and SPOT tags were deployed on blue sharks from 2004 to 2008, with 39 tags successfully reporting data. The dataset includes depth, temperature, and ambient light level profiles, along with maximum likelihood position estimates. Tagged sharks ranged from 124 cm to 251 cm in fork length, with deployments lasting from 4 to 210 days.
Newfoundland and Labrador inshore lobster commercial fishing data from 2012 to 2021, with catch records associated to 10km² hexagon grid cells. The dataset provides a proxy estimation of lobster harvesting patterns using weighted variables like habitat and home port distance. It is derived from commercial landings data and created by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
A synthesis of published highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) results provides a quantitative spatial and temporal assessment of carbon partitioning within the Arctic marine ecosystem. The dataset validates estimates of sea-ice particulate organic carbon (iPOC) as predictors of ice algal carbon in Arctic food webs, resulting from a collaborative effort by researchers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and international institutions.
Sponge reef areas are mapped from three source shapefiles covering the Pacific coast of Canada and the United States. The dataset provides geospatial polygons detailing the location and extent of these unique glass sponge habitats. It is published by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and was last updated in March 2026.
Olivia Carmstedt's raw data from a cognition task analysis for fish, published on figshare in 2026. The file contains individual scores (correct, incorrect, no choice), treatment type, and covariates used in statistical analyses. Sex information, where available, is recorded as male, female, or undetermined juvenile.
Olivia Carmstedt's raw measurements for brain morphology analyses, published on figshare in May 2026. The data includes brain region volumes and total brain volumes per individual, alongside treatment type and covariates used in statistical analyses.
2005 habitat-use analysis supporting groundfish Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) designations. The Habitat Use Database (HUD) was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to support fisheries and ecosystem science, with planned upgrades for web-based interfaces and improved habitat suitability models. It integrates with an online EFH data catalog for the Pacific coast.
Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) deployed on 6 female spiny dogfish from 2008 to 2009 collected depth, temperature, and light-level data. Three of the six tags successfully reported data, with deployments lasting from 75 to 234 days. The processed data includes maximum likelihood position estimates and depth-temperature profiles.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada deployed Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSAT) on 16 Greenland sharks in Atlantic Canadian waters from 2006 to 2009. The dataset contains processed maximum likelihood position estimates, depth, and temperature profiles, with 14 of 16 tags reporting data. Sharks ranged from 250 cm to 549 cm in length, and tags were at liberty for 48 to 350 days.
13 coastal sub-bioregions were defined for the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence in Quebec by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in 2025. The classification integrates four existing systems to better reflect local ecological heterogeneity for management and conservation. Data includes the boundaries of these 13 ecoregions.
This dataset defines Conservation Units (CUs) for even-year pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) on Canada's Pacific coast, based on a framework integrating ecotypology, life history, and genetics. It includes CU boundaries, associated counting sites linked to spawner escapement data, and status assessments categorized as Red, Amber, or Green. The CU boundaries were updated to a 1:20,000 scale in March 2023.
2005 to 2021 deployments of Pop-up Satellite Archival Tags (PSATs) on porbeagle sharks collected depth, temperature, and light-level data. 57 tags were deployed, with 51 reporting data from sharks ranging from 76 cm to 249 cm in fork length. The dataset includes maximum likelihood position estimates and depth-temperature profiles processed using Wildlife Computers software.
This dataset defines Conservation Units (CUs) for odd-year Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) on Canada's Pacific coast, based on ecotypology, life history, and genetics. It includes CU boundaries, associated counting sites for spawner escapement data, and WSP status assessments (Red, Amber, Green). The CU boundaries were updated in March 2023 using the BC Freshwater Atlas at a 1:20,000 scale.
Ke xin Bao's dataset contains field survey data from a three-year investigation of the egg parasitoid wasp *Anastatus orientalis* and its host, the spotted lanternfly (*Lycorma delicatula*). Data includes adult wasp emergence and nymph hatching counts recorded at 2-day intervals, as well as monthly records of egg development and fate. The research demonstrates how the wasp optimizes phenological synchrony through dual evolutionary strategies of bet-hedging and phenotypic plasticity.
Canada's Fisheries and Oceans Canada delineates areas containing critical habitat for aquatic species listed as Endangered or Threatened under the Species at Risk Act. The dataset provides geospatial polygons derived from federal orders and provincial hydrological data to enforce legal prohibitions against habitat destruction. It was last updated in March 2026 by the Government of Alberta.
