TABLE 1.
List of modelled species and the methodology for species selection. Ecological groups were classified as zoobenthos, phytobenthos, zooplankton and phytoplankton. Selection methods were the Canadian Marine Invasive Screening Tool (CMIST; Drolet et al., 2016), and harmful dinoflagellate species found in ballast of vessels discharging in the Canadian Arctic (Laget, 2017)
