Ensure that species/groups are assigned correctly to mega and micro benthos.

Made decision to move PECTINIDAE, PECTINIDAE SHELL, PECTINIDAE VISCERA to AtlScallop group.

SarahJWeisberg commented 1 year ago

Only other thing of note is that mole / sand crabs (eg., ALBUNEA PARETII, EMERITA TALPOIDA, RANILIA MURICATA, HIPPIDAE) are currently in the megabenthos category. Might make sense to move them to macrobenthos. Probably not a big deal either way, as these are relatively rare (ALBUNEA PARETII found in 35 stomachs, rest in fewer).

I agree that mole/sand crabs might be better off in macrobenthos. This may make a difference in the NEAMAP data closer to shore, so I'll go ahead and make that change if no one objects.

Sounds good! Thanks Sarah
