“…Furthermore, the species addressed here are not endemic to the study area. All are found upstream, along the Labrador Shelf and Slope (Wang et al., 2020), and some also downstream to the west and southwest (e.g., Kenchington et al., 2022). Should there be significant larval subsidies from outside the study area, it would alter the consequences of simulated removal of patches, especially the more northerly ones.…”

“…-S7). However, some of those 'sinks' (patches S6, LGC4, SGC1, BC5 and TU5) are near the downstream boundary of the study area and may supply larvae to patches within the Canadian EEZ, whereKenchington et al (2022) identified significant concentrations of the same taxa. Finally, nine of the 84 patches, including members of the large gorgonian coral, bryozoan, tunicate and black coral networks, were completely isolated (outdegree = indegree = 0;…”

“…The identification of most VME indicator species and in particular of sponges is very challenging and is facilitated by the use of identification guides that have been produced by RFMOs for most regions e.g. Northwest Atlantic (Kenchington et al, 2015), Southeast Atlantic (Ramos et al, 2009), Mediterranean Sea (FAO, 2017a, b) and Indian Ocean (FAO, 2016). Due to these difficulties, VME indicators may be given at a higher taxonomic level, such as phylum Porifera in the Southeast Atlantic (South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation, SEAFO), and classes hexactinellida and demospongiae in the Southern Ocean and south Pacific Ocean (Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, CCAMLR, and South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation, SPRFMO) or down to representative species in the Northwest and Northeast Atlantic (NAFO and NEAFC).…”

“…Such risk assessments will depend on improvements in data collection from fishing activity and NAFO has made recent progress in sponge species identification, in the requirement of reporting of haul by haul data from fishing activity as well as the addition of FAO observer codes to specific sponge species (NAFO CEM, 2005. NAFO updated its sponge identification guide in 2015 (Kenchington et al, 2015). To date, no additional measures have been agreed based on new indicator species and NAFO VME's are currently being reviewed by the Scientific Council with results on areas vulnerable to SAI's expected in 2021.…”
