Abstract
Benthic macroinvertebrate standing crop at 14 stations on the Canadian continental shelf, southeast of Baffin Island, ranged from 19.8 to 479.9 g/m2 and was about the same size for given depths, as reported for the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, and higher than reported in more southerly portions of the eastern North American continental shelf. Standing crop was correlated negatively with depth and sediment content of both fine and medium sand.Keywords
