    The nematode collection was begun by A.D. Baker in 1943 and is the primary depository for Canadian nematodes excluding parasites of humans and other animals. There are nearly 30,000 slides and 5000 vials of over 88,000 roundworm specimens in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids, and Nematodes (CNC), including approximately 5000 primary and secondary types of nearly 400 species. The nematode type catalogue, as of 1985 (from Journal of Nematology 17: 220–234) is available online. This checklist shares a subset of CNC’s nematode (roundworm) accessions from Canada’s provinces and territories. This checklist is not exhaustive; nematodes regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency are purposefully removed from this compilation. Scientific names were cross-referenced against valid and accepted names indicated in Nemys, the World Database of Nematodes. Dataset Type: Checklist Specimen Type: Preserved specimens

    Between 2017 and 2019, Fisheries and Oceans Canada conducted a baseline survey of marine fishes and their habitats on the Canadian Beaufort Shelf and slope in August and early September each year. Sampling was conducted from the F/V Frosti at 144 stations along nine multi-year transects, and 32 non-transect stations. Standardized sampling was conducted at pre-determined depth stations (20-40, 75, 200, 350, 500, 750, and 1000 m) using a variety of sampling equipment including benthic fishing trawls, plankton nets, sediment cores, and CTD and water sample profiles. Presented here is the information on the sampling locations, and the sampling gear deployed at each station.

    From August 6th to September 9th, 2014, Fisheries and Oceans Canada conducted a baseline survey of marine fishes and their habitats on the Canadian Beaufort Shelf and slope. Sampling was conducted from the F/V Frosti at 56 stations along thirteen transects, with an additional three stations not located on transects. Standardized sampling was conducted on the transects at pre-determined depth stations (20-40, 75, 200, 350, 500, 750, and 1000 m) using a variety of sampling equipment including benthic fishing trawls, plankton nets, sediment cores, and CTD and water sample profiles.
