title: Data from: Suspended sediment causes feeding current arrests in the glass sponge Aphrocallistes vastus

description: Bottom-contact trawling generates large, moving clouds of suspended sediments that can alter the behaviour of organisms adjacent to trawl paths. While increased suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) are known to cause glass sponges to arrest filtration in lab studies, the response of sponges to sediment in situ is not yet known. Here we describe arrest behaviours in response to increased SSCs recorded from the glass sponge Aphrocallistes vastus at the Fraser Ridge sponge reef in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada. We identified 23 arrests of the sponges’ feeding current during experimental disturbances that raised SSC to between 10 and 80 mg l-1. Single arrests lasted 4.25 ± 1.3 min (± SD) and were characterized by a 2 cm s-1 reduction in feeding current lasting 0.5 - 3 min (mean 1.91 ± 0.97 min, n = 19). In comparison, coughing arrests varied in length (31 ± 22.89 min) and lasted 4 - 15 min (10.46 ± 5.26 min, n = 4). Coughing arrests showed a distinctive on/off pattern as sponge filtration returned to normal excurrent velocities, distinguishing them from single arrests. The onset of both arrest types was correlated with elevated SSCs (r = -0.83 to -0.92). Natural SSCs at the reef averaged 4.4 mg l-1 and were correlated with tidal flow (r = 0.86 and 0.89). The combined data provide evidence that suspended sediments can stop glass sponge feeding in situ even at SSCs below those known to be generated by trawling.

title: Data from: Food and initial size influence overwinter survival and condition of a juvenile marine fish (age-0 Atlantic cod)

description: To examine the consequences of size variation on overwintering success under contrasting food scenarios, we collected demersal age-0 cod from Newman Sound, Newfoundland and brought them to the laboratory for 114-day feeding trials at ambient overwinter sea temperatures. From January to April 2017, we reared two size-classes of juvenile cod under four daily ration levels (starvation, 2.5%, 5%, 10% dry body weight). We then used Fulton’s K condition factor to interpret how food availability and fish size interact to impact survival during the critical overwinter period. Size, weight, temperature, survial, and food consumption were measured throughout the 114-day experiment. This research is sponsored by the NSERC Canadian Healthy Oceans Network and its Partners: Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and INREST (representing the Port of Sept-Îles and City of Sept-Îles).

title: Data from: Continental margin sediments underlying the NE Pacific oxygen minimum zone are a source of nitrous oxide to the water column

description: This study was conducted in the NE Pacific Ocean, on the outer continental shelf and upper continental margin off south-central Vancouver Island, Canada. We collected replicate sediment cores at 200, 475 and 850 m depth. Sampling stations were chosen to cover the in situ bottom water dissolved oxygen gradient, ranging from the well-oxygenated outer shelf at 200 m to the oxygen minimum zone core at 850 m. We used a microsensor approach to measure porewater N2O and O2 vertical distributions in initial and incubated cores from each sampling location. We incubated 3 cores from each location using the collected bottom water and kept them under near-in situ dissolved O2 and temperature conditions in the ship-board cold room for 24-36 hours to reestablish steady-state conditions prior to sediment profiling and subsequent modelling. N2O production and consumption rates and O2 consumption rates were estimated from measured concentration profiles using mathematical modelling.

title: Data from: Effects of changing ocean temperatures on ecological connectivity among marine protected areas in northern British Columbia

description: This repository contains spatial layers from the analysis in Friesen et al (2021). See "Related Publication". Our objective was to assess how ecological connectivity between MPAs may shift with projected seasonal ocean temperature changes in the Northern Shelf Bioregion in British Columbia, Canada. We used benthic temperature outputs from a regional ocean model of the British Columbia continental margin. These model outputs cover a hindcast simulation (1981-2010) and a future climate projection based on the RCP8.5 scenario (2041-2070). To generate the input layers for the analysis, we first calculated mean seasonal temperatures for each pixel in the two time periods. We also subtracted the hindcast temperature value from the projected future temperature value to determine temperature change, then averaged temperature change across the pixels intersecting each MPA. Second, we modelled suitable habitats for each time period and season based on the adult environmental preferences of two case study species: Metacarcinus magister (Dungeness Crab) and Sebastolobus alascanus (Shortspine Thornyhead). Third, we generated resistance surfaces for each time period and season using the adult environmental preferences of the two case study species. Fourth, we identified MPAs that contained suitable habitats and defined those as network nodes for the connectivity analyses. Once the analysis input layers were generated, we applied least-cost and circuit theory-based tools to identify potential linkages between MPAs via adult movement and compare MPA interconnectedness between the two time periods. Specifically, we used Linkage Mapper to generate least-cost corridors and Pinchpoint Mapper to conduct a seascape-level analysis simulating random exploratory movements within the network. This repository contains the layers from each step of this analysis.

title: Notes, Illustrations and Annotations on Sponge Specimens

description: Size:44 .pdf files; a total of 22,107 pages, (30.2 GB in total) Scan details are located in the spreadsheet: 00b_HM_Reiswig_Specimen_Listing.xlsx Organization: Each .pdf file corresponds to one binder of notes by Dr. Henry M. Reiswig. The notes within the files and the .pdf files themselves are arranged chronologically, ranging from 1956-2019. Filenames include a unique number then a date range (e.g. 01_56-09-00_to_68-10-21.pdf ). The number refers to the original binder number and the date ranges are part of the specimen codes. Each specimen has a unique HMR specimen code, in the date format, YY-MM-DD.nn, where the date represents the day that Dr. Reiswig began examining the specimen. Every HMR specimen code is referenced in the spreadsheet: 00.b_HM Reiswig Specimen Listing.tab. For detail on how to cross-reference information to the files, see 00.a_Read_Me.txt. Content: Over 9,000 sponge specimens are presented in this dataset. The extent of the notes on each specimen varies from a single page of collection information to scientific sketches, scanning electron micrographs (SEMs), systematic notes, graphs, and Dr. Reiswig’s final taxonomic designation. About a quarter of the specimens were collected by Dr. Reiswig; the remainder were assessments requested from individual collectors, specimens loaned from institutions for examination and collections from institutions soliciting identification. This dataset includes specimens from about 60 institutions, museums and collectors. Most specimens represented herein are marine. The west coast of North America and the Caribbean are well-represented. Hexactinellid (glass sponge) specimens are common among the British Columbia (BC), Canada; New Zealand (NZ); and deep-sea locations.

title: Systematics Compilations on Various Sponge Taxa

description: Dataset Size:26 PDF files; a total of 12,864 pages, (17.6 GB in total) Scan details are located in the spreadsheet: 00b_HMR_Sponge_Taxa_Compilation.xlsx Organization: Each PDF file corresponds to one binder of information compiled by Dr. H.M. Reiswig. The entries are arranged alphabetically by taxon, most of which are genera. Most notes are updated, but it appears that Dr. Reiswig added commentary into a given taxon over years of study. There is no specific organization of information within each taxon, nor is the entire series arranged by taxonomic hierarchy. These binders were intended as an aide-memoire in easily located (alphabetical) sections. Where Dr. Reiswig refers to specimens that he examined in the companion dataset, "Notes, Illustrations and Annotations on Sponge Specimens", he uses the same HMR Code Numbers. Content: Over 187 sponge taxa are represented, including one order, 20 families, four subfamilies, and 162 genera. As he examined specimens, he retained his notes comparing specimens, consulting published descriptions and observations from museum visits. Information for each taxon is highly variable in detail and length. Some taxa are accompanied by a single page of basic systematics information, while others have extensive systematics information, drawings of whole mounts and spicules, measurements, and commentary on published information. In some cases, Dr. Reiswig has provided detailed anatomical comparisons between similar sponge species. Within some genera, Dr. Reiswig has provided systematic information to the species level; for some species, he refers to specimens examined in the first dataset (using the same HMR specimen codes).
