Abstract
Bottom Sediments of Georges Bank
Roland L. Wigley
ABSTRACT
A 
survey
of Georges Bank bottom sediments was undertaken to provide basic data for use in studying the relationships between substrate composition and the occurrence of benthic animals, especially those which are common foods of fishes.
Particle side composition is the principal sediment character that was studied. Six statistical measures of particle size composition are given in order to designate the main features of the size-frequency distribution of each sample. These measures are: median diameter, mean diameter, coefficient of sorting, kurtosis, and two measures of skewness. In addition to these parameters
, organic content, shell content, color, and textural classifications are included. In the presentation and discussion of the data, special emphasis is given to the geographic distribution of the various sediment constituents and particle size composition.
