The effect of small-scale habitat features on groundfish density in deep-sea soft-bottom ecosystems

In the deep-sea, cold-water corals (CWCs) and other structure-forming fauna locally increase habitat complexity and are host to many fish species. While many studies have focused on hard-bottom CWCs, very little is known about fish associations with soft-bottom CWC habitats. To understand the small-...
