This dataset was compiled as part of a multiyear effort lead by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to support sustainable aquaculture regulation in the Coast of Bays, an area of the south coast of Newfoundland. It is the second of a series aiming to provide an oceanographic knowledge baseline of the Coast of Bays.

In total, 760 profiles from 11 surveys, executed over 276 stations, were collected from June 2009 to November 2013.

A summary of the CTD profiles and stations surveyed is also provided as a comma separated values (CSV) file. A full description of the data and of its use in the context of the motivating project can…
