Cold-water coral habitats mapping in submarine canyons of the Bay of Biscay. ...
Abstract

Cold-water coral habitat mapping in submarine canyons of the bay of Biscay was realized by the deep sea laboratory of Ifremer. Data came from the EVHOE 2009 cruise in the framework of the CoralFish project and as part of an agreement between Ifremer and the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées. The method was based on image analyses. Images were acquired using the towed camera « SCAMPI » during the EVHOE 2009 cruise (from 18/10/2009 to 01/12/2009, chief scientists: Jean-Pierre LEAUTE and Michèle SALAUN). Observed habitats were defined according to the CoralFish typology (J.S. Davies, B. Guillaumont, F. Tempera, A. Vertino, L. Beuck, S.H. Ólafsdóttir, C.J. Smith, J.H. Fosså, I.M.J. van den Beld, A.
