FIGURE 2.
Dendrograms indicating similarity (calculated from Simpson dissimilarity) in taxonomic composition of bottom‐associated fish and benthic invertebrates between sites from annual multispecies trawl surveys in each of four regions of the Northwest Atlantic: NGSL, SGSL, NL, MAR (see Figure 1 caption for regional abbreviations). Nodes on lower branches indicate greater similarity between sites within that cluster. Colored groupings identify major clusters of sites sharing similar assemblage types (BoF, Bay of Fundy; ESS, Eastern Scotian Shelf; WSS, Western Scotian Shelf)
