Benthic sediment and faunal sampling in outer Frobisher Bay, 2017-2018

In order to construct a geological and biological habitat map of the deep outer parts of Frobisher Bay, we collected benthic samples from CCGS Amundsen in areas that had been previously mapped using multibeam sonar from the Amundsen. The benthic samples allow us to ground-truth the multibeam survey and classify bottom types and faunal assemblages.为构建弗罗比舍湾（Frobisher Bay）外深海区域的地质与生物生境地图，我们搭乘加拿大海岸警卫队阿蒙森号（CCGS Amundsen），在先前已通过该船搭载的多波束声呐完成测绘的海域采集了底栖生物样本。该批底栖生物样本可用于对多波束测绘结果进行实地验证，并对海底底质类型与动物群落组合开展分类工作。
