Quality
The animals counts were done according to convention: sorting under a stereo
microscope after sieving and preservations. A 250µm mesh was used for sieving. Accuracy is unknown. Box cores likely lose some light epifauna during coring process, but this is the most common deep-sea infauna collection tool used. Sieve size used: 250 µm. Thickness of sampled sediment layer: top 3 cm (mud layer above solid clay). Box core area: 0.25 square meters. Very small number of samples (11 box cores) taken in entire study area (Canada Basin, Northwind Ridge, coordinates above).
