چکیده
Historical and archeological information about the First Nations People of Newfoundland and Labrador is used to estimate their approximate numbers, diet, fisheries and harvesting impacts on the marine ecosystem. Estimates of First Nations numbers at first contact include approximately 700 Beothuk and 300 Inuit. It is assumed that they consumed approximately 365 tonnes of food a year, and that their diet included approximately 60% marine organisms, of which salmon, seals and seabirds were the most important.

متن کاملModeling the Distribution of Geodia Sponges and Sponge Grounds in the Northwest Atlantic
Deep-sea sponge grounds provide structurally complex habitat for fish and invertebrates and enhance local biodiversity. They are also vulnerable to bottom-contact fisheries and prime candidates for Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem designation and related conservation action. This study uses species distribution modeling, based on presence and absence observations of Geodia spp. and sponge grounds de...
