A research survey of Iceland scallops (Chlamys islandica) using a dredge has been carried out by DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) every 1 or 2 years since 1990 in the Mingan Archipelago ( fishing areas 16E and 16F). The main objective of this research survey was to assess Icelandic Scallop stocks. Another objective was to documented taxa in the captures associated with scallop habitat according to a fixed sampling plan. Occurrences by species (or taxon) are presented by station. The taxonomic and geographical validity of the data was checked and the World Register of Marine Species served as the taxonomic authority for naming all taxa recorded during the survey. Epibenthic invertebrates (mainly molluscs, echinoderms and crustaceans) as well as demersal fish were identified from the dredge catches. / Un relevé de recherche sur le pétoncle d’Islande (Chlamys islandica) effectué à l'aide d'une drague a été réalisé par le MPO (Pêches et Océans Canada) tous les 1 ou 2 ans depuis 1990 dans l'archipel de Mingan (zones de pêche 16E et 16F). L'objectif principal de ce relevé de recherche était d'évaluer les stocks de pétoncle d'Islande. Un autre objectif était de documenter les taxons dans la capture associée à l'habitat de pétoncle selon un plan d'échantillonnage fixe. Les occurrences par espèce (ou taxon) sont présentées par station. La validité taxonomique et géographique des données a été vérifiée et le registre mondial des espèces marines a servi d'autorité taxonomique pour nommer tous les taxons enregistrés lors du relevé. Les invertébrés épibenthiques (principalement des mollusques, échinodermes et crustacés) ainsi que des poissons démersaux ont été identifiés à partir des captures de la drague.Sampling Description
Study Extent
The study area is located around the Mingan Archipelago and sampling of scallop beds is carried out at depths of 8 to 136 m, generally around 40 to 60 m. / L'aire d'étude est située autour de l'archipel de Mingan et l'échantillonnage des gisements de pétoncles est effectué à des profondeurs de 8 à 136 m, généralement autour de 40 à 60 m.Sampling
Sampling is done along transects at fixed stations in the study area. Sampling is done with a lined Digby scallop dredge (20 mm mesh) over approximately 150 m along the seabed. / L'échantillonnage est fait le long de transects à des stations fixes dans la zone d'étude. L'échantillonnage se fait avec une drague à pétoncle Digby doublée (maille de 20 mm) sur approximativement 150 m le long du fond marin.Quality Control
The World Register of Marine Species served as the taxonomic authority to name all taxa recorded on the survey. / Le registre mondial des espèces marines a servi comme autorité taxonomique pour nommer tous les taxons enregistrés lors du relevé.Method steps
- The four baskets of the dredge are examined for all scallops. Next, a basket (the first on the starboard side) is sorted and examined for associated species. Most specimens are counted by taxa. The presence or relative abundance of undersized and numerous, or colonial, organisms is noted. Special cases are sometimes retained for taxonomic analysis, for example, ascidians (to monitor invasive species) and sponges (to document new species). / Les quatre paniers de la drague sont examinés pour tous les pétoncles. Ensuite, un panier (le premier du côté tribord) est trié et examiné pour les espèces associées. La plupart des spécimens sont comptés par taxon. La présence ou l’abondance relative des organismes trop petits et nombreux, ou coloniaux, est notée. Des cas particuliers sont parfois conservés pour l'analyse taxonomique, par exemple, les ascidies (pour surveiller les espèces envahissantes) et les éponges (pour documenter de nouvelles espèces).
