The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) is listed by Canada’s Species at Risk Act as a species of special concern. Effective conservation strategies rely on accurate knowledge of habitat requirements, distribution, and vulnerabilities; however, current management plans cite lack of wolffish habitat data as a key limitation. For this study, coastal Atlantic wolffish denning habitat was characterized and mapped with high-resolution multibeam data and seafloor video in Conception Bay, Newfoundland. Four Atlantic wolffish dens, used for feeding, spawning, and egg-guarding, were surveyed and mapped. On the basis of the geomorphology and substrate of these dens, a supervised classification was applied to the multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data to identify other potential denning areas. Predicted denning habitat, limited by the occurrence of suitable rocky substrate, is most prevalent in shallow waters (<22 m) distributed over 1.6 km² (5.9%) of the study area. Shallow denning habitat is exposed to seasonal maximum temperatures that exceed the threshold for normal Atlantic wolffish egg development, a potential vulnerability for nearshore wolffish. As management efforts progress, this information will guide research and prioritization of conservation areas.
