            <gco:CharacterString>Concentrations of sea pens, small and large gorgonian corals and sponges on the east coast of Canada have been identified through spatial analysis of research vessel survey by-catch data following an approach used by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) in the Regulatory Area (NRA) on Flemish Cap and southeast Grand Banks. Kernel density analysis was used to identify high concentrations. These analyses were performed for each of the five biogeographic zones of eastern Canada. The largest sea pen fields were found in the Laurentian Channel as it cuts through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, while large gorgonian coral forests were found in the Eastern Arctic and on the northern Labrador continental slope. Large ball-shaped Geodia spp. sponges were located along the continental slopes north of the Grand Banks, while on the Scotian Shelf a unique population of the large barrel-shaped sponge Vazella pourtalesi was identified. The latitude and longitude marking the positions of all tows which form these and other dense aggregations are provided along with the positions of all tows which captured black coral, a non-aggregating taxon which is long-lived and vulnerable to fishing pressures.</gco:CharacterString>

L'analyse a adopté une approche de l'Organisation des pêches de l'Atlantique Nord-Ouest (OPANO) dans la zone de réglementation du Bonnet Flamand et le sud-est des Grands Bancs. On a eu recours à une analyse du noyau de densité afin de délimiter les hautes concentrations. De telles analyses ont été réalisées pour chacune des cinq zones biogéographiques de l'est du Canada.Les plus grandes colonies de plumes de mer ont été découvertes dans le chenal Laurentien qui coupe le golfe du Saint-Laurent, alors que les grands regroupements de gorgones ont été trouvés dans l'Arctique de l'Est et le nord de la pente continentale du Labrador. De grosses éponges en boule de plusieurs espèces de Geodia se trouvaient le long des pentes continentales au nord des Grands Bancs, tandis qu'on a identifié sur le Plateau néo-écossais une seule population de grosses éponges en forme de tonneau de l'espèce Vazella pourtalesi.On fournit la latitude et la longitude marquant les positions de tous les traits qui forment ces colonies et d'autres concentrations denses, ainsi que les positions de tous les traits de chalut qui ont permis de remonter à la surface du corail noir, un taxon que l'on ne retrouve pas enregroupement, qui est d’une grande longévité et vulnérable à la pression de la pêche.</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
