Resume
On a préparé des cartes locales et compilé les données accumulées
dans les stations de recherche. Celle-ci s'est effectuée sur place et
porte sur la répartition et |’'écologie des invertébrés marins cétiers,

Biographical Notes
E.L. Bousfield
Born in Penticton, B.C., in 1926, Dr. Bousfield graduated from the
University of Toronto in Zoology (B.A., 1948; M.A., 1949), and re-
ceived his Ph.D. from Harvard University (Marine Biology, 1954).
He joined the National Museums of Canada in 1950, as Inverte-
brate Zoologist, and in 1964 became Chief Zoologist. He is the au-
thor of over 50 scientific and popular publications, including Cana-
dian Atlantic Sea Shells (1960), ‘‘Fresh-water Amphipod
Crustaceans of Glaciated North America’’ (1958), and ‘‘Hausto-
riidae of New England (Crustacea: Amphipoda)’’ (1965). His scien-
tific research interests are primarily in the taxonomy, distribution
and ecology of shallow-water amphipod and cirripede crustaceans;
estuarine and intertidal ecology; and postglacial dispersal of fresh-
water and marine invertebrates of Canada.
Diana R. Laubitz
Born in London, England, Diana Laubitz graduated from Cam-
bridge University with a B.A., specializing in Zoology. She came to
Canada in 1956, and has been associated with the National Mu-
seum of Natural Sciences since 1964. Her research has been con-
cerned primarily with the taxonomy and systematics of the Caprel-
lidea, and she is the author of Studies on the Caprellidae
(Crustacea, Amphipoda) of the American North Pacific and The
Caprellidae (Crustacea, Amphipoda) of Atlantic and Arctic Canada,
in the Museum's Biological Oceanography series. Recently she has
started investigating some of the Gammaridea closely related to
this group.
Preface
Since 1950 the senior author has conducted systematic field sur-
veys of littoral marine invertebrate animals, particularly crusta-
ceans and molluscs, of the Atlantic coast of Canada and the adja-
cent coast of New England. These surveys have provided material
for published faunistic studies. Those studies based on surveys
prior to 1960 have included regional station data and locality
maps (Table 1). The present contribution provides station data and
locality maps for regional surveys from 1960 to 1969 (Tables 3-
6; Maps 1, 1B-1D). Station data for the St. Lawrence estuary and
Gaspé coast region have been given in part by Tattersall (1954);
the complete station list and the locality map are included here
(Table 2; Map 1A).

Publication of station lists is a useful method of avoiding dupli-
cation of raw data and map figures where dependent multidisciplin-
ary publications are anticipated (e.g. Dunbar and Grainger 1952;
Bousfield and McAllister 1962). The 1960-69 material has al-
ready provided published records of polychaete worms (Pettibone
1963a, 19636), haustoriid amphipods (Bousfield 19626), ampelis-
cid and melitid amphipods (Mills 1963, 1964, 1967), caprellid
amphipods (McCain 1968), and oyster drills (Medcof and Thomas
1969). The 1953 material provided the basis for a study on re-
gional mysid shrimps (Tattersall 1954), a short study on fresh-
water gastropod molluscs (Bousfield 1955a), and a preliminary re-
gional hydrobiological analysis (Bousfield 1956a). Along with
survey material listed in Table 1, the 1953 material was incorpo-
rated in studies on selected invertebrate groups such as talitrid am-
phipods (Bousfield 1958c), freshwater amphipods (Bousfield
1958a) and shallow-water marine molluscs (Bousfield 1960,
Preface
1964). The present station data, together with previously pub-
lished data (Table 1), are incorporated in forthcoming studies on
postglacial marine invertebrate distribution (Bousfield and Thomas,
in press), gammaridean amphipods of New England (Bousfield, in
press), and caprellid amphipods of the northwestern North Atlantic
(Laubitz 1972). These and other pertinent studies now in prepa-
ration have lent urgency to the publication of the basic station data
and primary distributional records in this paper. |

logical material and compilation of the data were greatly assisted
by Mrs. Anne Stamper, Lewes, England. Barbara Bousfield, wife of
the senior author, took part in all surveys except that of 1969, and
was most helpful in the collection of intertidal molluscs and in field
photography. To all these persons and agencies and to others un-
named, the authors extend their sincere thanks.
Methodology
Most of the collections and observations were conducted from the
shore at stations accessible by road. Some freshwater streams and
lakes and a few terrestrial habitats were sampled. Shore collections
were made with long-handled dip nets and small sieves, or by
hand-picking between the tidemarks, and at hip-boot depth. Small
boats obtained locally were used in sampling the bottoms of la-
goons and estuarine channels, particularly during the 1960 field
operations. An Ekman bottom-sampler was used effectively on soft
mud and sand to depths of over 30 feet (10 metres). A small
triangular-frame dredge and a 3-foot iron-frame dredge were use-
fully employed, the latter mainly on stony and shelly bottoms, to
depths of over 50 feet (16 metres). Oyster tongs and oyster rakes
were particularly effective on mud and shell bottoms in depths be-
tween 5 and 10 feet. A set of standard brass sieves, minimum
screen size 1 mm, was used to separate small organisms from
muddy and sandy-mud substrata. All materials were fine-sorted
into systematic groups, re-preserved, and deposited in the research
collections of the National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa.
Surface temperatures were recorded with a mercury thermome-
ter accurate to the nearest 0.1°C, and surface salinities were cal-
culated from float hydrometer readings of specific gravity accurate
to the nearest 0.0001 gm/cc. Depths were measured by cali-
brated line soundings.

General Hydrobiological Characteristics of the Study Regions
A comprehensive and detailed presenta-
tion of the hydrobiology of the Canadian
Atlantic and northern New England
coastal regions is a desirable result of
completed long-term studies, but is be-
yond the scope of this initial report and
station list. However, selected field ob-
servations on hydrobiological features of
each of the four major subregions (Maps
1, 1A-1D) may be usefully included in
this preliminary report.
St. Lawrence Estuary and Gaspé
Coast (Tables 2 and 3; Map 1A)
With respect to the St. Lawrence es-
tuary, general hydrobiological features
have been presented by _ Bousfield
(1956a), Lavoie (1970) and Bourget
(1971). The outer Gaspé region and
Chaleur Bay region have been listed by
Lacroix (1967), Brunel (1970) and
Bousfield (1956a).
These authors tend to subdivide the
estuary proper “into three discrete re-
gions. The upper estuary is the tidal
freshwater portion, stretching for about
100 miles above the fle d’Orléans; this
region is warm in summer and supports
a strictly freshwater fauna. Some spe-
cies (e.g. Viviparus viviparus L.) extend
significantly landward into the lower
part of the broad tidal zone.
The middle estuary comprises the re-
gion from the east end of the Tle
d'Orléans to the mouth of the Saguenay
estuary on the north side and to Trois
Pistoles on the south side. Salinity and
temperature gradients are steep, both
horizontally and vertically, and show
large seasonal variation. The tidal ampli-
tude is high, but water transparency is
very low, particularly along the south
shore, where the main seaward thrust of
silt-laden fresh water is impelled by the
Coriolis force. The shallow-water fauna
consists largely of widely eurytopic and
hardy arctic-boreal or boreal marine spe-
cies of both plants and animals. The
middle estuary sets downriver limits to
freshwater organisms such as crayfish
(Orconectes), cladocerans (Bosmina),
limnaeid and physid gastropods, and
unionid bivalves, the shells of which are
ice-rafted onto the same beaches as ma-
rine assemblages, even as far east as
Bic.
The lower estuary, from the Saguenay
to Pointe des Monts and Cap Chat, is
marked by low summer surface tem-
peratures and high surface salinities. In-
tense summer upwelling of very cold
deep water immediately seaward of the
Saguenay sill produces very high nutri-
ent levels at the surface and very high
primary productivity of benthic algae,
particularly along the adjacent south
shore. A strong inflow of fresh water
from numerous large rivers along the
north shore appreciably lowers surface
salinities there in spring and early sum-
mer. Tidal amplitudes are lower and wa-
ter transparencies higher than in the
middle estuary. The shallow-water
fauna of the lower estuary (and Sague-
nay fiord) contains a high proportion of
arctic and subarctic endemics (e.g.
Gammarellus homari, Gammaracanthus
loricatus, Atylus carinatus), much higher
than would be expected at such a low
latitude (48°-49°N).
In a study of breeding seasons and
larval attachment in sessile marine in-
vertebrates (e.g. Ba/anus), Bourget
(1971) concluded that primary produc-
tivity in the middle estuary is very low
because low salinities and high turbid-
ities drastically limit the numbers of spe-
cies of algae and their ability to pho-
tosynthesize. His temperature and salin-
ity data show that, in the lower estuary,
surface temperatures become progres-
sively lower and salinities become
higher during summer as the estuarine
nutrient pump action (upwelling) Is ac-
celerated by spring runoff and summer
westerly winds; however, the mecha-

nism tends to shut down in winter be-
cause of the thick ice-cover, reduced
freshet, and reduced wind effects, and
the surface water tends to stratify and
become relatively low in salinity. Bour-
get (1971) also found that the reproduc-
tive period of several arctic-boreal and
boreal species occurs very late within
the estuary. Spawning periods are com-
parable to those of low arctic latitudes
and are much later than in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence and outer Maritimes
coastline.
Coastal waters of the northwestern
portion of the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
northwest of Anticosti Island, are some-
what warmer and more brackish in sum-
mer than adjacent coastal regions. Mid-
summer surface temperatures are 14°-
16°C and salinities 20-28%o, and the
inshore fauna contains several boreal
elements, such as Asterias_ vulgaris,
Idotea balthica, Ampithoe rubricata,
Pleusymtes glaber, Thais /apillus, and
Littorina littorea, that are lacking within,
or penetrate only partly into, the lower
estuary.
Southwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence
(Table 4; Map 1B)
The southwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence
is essentially a region of sandy-mud and
eelgrass lagoons, soft-red sandstone
bedrock, and beautiful sandy beaches.
Some estuaries are primarily mud-bot-
tomed, particularly in the North-
Southwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence
umberland Strait region, where tidal
amplitudes are somewhat higher than
on the open Gulf coast. Summer surface
temperatures are everywhere above
15°C and usually above 18°C, and sa-
linities are 25-28 %o. Thermal stratifica-
tion is very pronounced, permitting
warm-water (but winter-hardy) species
to occupy a thin surface zone along
shores and in estuaries, and cold-water
faunas to exist in summer-cold bottom
water close inshore. Winter ice is heavy,
appearing in early December and
frequently persisting until mid-May, fol-
lowed by rapid vernal heating of the sur-
face water layer. Ice scouring contrib-
utes significantly to the rapid erosion of
cliff faces and to the low density of ses-
sile intertidal fauna and flora throughout
the region (Stephenson and Stephenson
1954).
The eastern end of Prince Edward Is-
land is essentially a summer-cold and
winter-mild area. Unlike most Island es-
tuaries, Georgetown Harbour is a deep,
wide inlet whose open mouth is not cut
off from the Gulf by barrier bars. Prevail-
ing summer westerlies blow surface wa-
ter out to sea and create inshore upwell-
ing of cold salt water. In winter, the
upwelling water is comparatively warm,
and icing is less severe than elsewhere.
The summer-cold bottom conditions are
unfavourable to certain species (e.g. Ba-
lanus improvisus) having warm-water
pelagic larvae that must be retained
within the estuary.
The Magdalen shallows, or ‘‘Magda-
len pocket’ (of Abbott 1968), contains
the main northernmost populations of
the warm-water, or Virginian, fauna that
includes the ‘‘oyster’’ benthic inverte-
brate association. These species meet
their northern limit at Chaleur Bay (e.g.
B17, B20, Restigouche estuary). The
oyster association includes the crusta-
ceans Neopanope texana sayi, Palaemo-
netes vulgaris, Balanus improvisus,
Corophium insidiosum, Caprella pe-
nantis, and Leptochelia rapax; the gas-
tropods Nassarius obsoletus, Odostomia
bisuturalis, Mitrella lunata, Retusa cana-
liculata, Pyramidella fusca, and Crepi-
dula fornicata; the bivalves Mulinia /ate-
ralis, Mysella_ planulata, Volsella de-
missus, Petricola pholadiformis, and
Mercenaria mercenaria; and representa-
tives of other invertebrate groups, such
as Molgula manhattensis (Tunicata),
Polydora websteri and Eteone heterpoda
(Polychaeta), and Microciona prolifera
(Porifera).
Particularly noteworthy records for
warm-water crustaceans in the south-
western Gulf region are: Melita nitida
(S27, S29); Ampithoe longimana - l|a-
goons of the outer coast of P.E.|. (e.g.
P2, P42), Magdalen Islands (M5, M6),
George Bay (S7), and Buctouche (B5);
Ovalipes ocellatus (B23, B24); and
Rhithropanopeus harrisi (S23, S27, P8).
Extending or confirming the molluscan
ranges summarized by Bousfield (1960)
are the following: the gastropods /ri-
phora .nigrocincta (S25, $35, P43;
B27); Cerithiopsis greeni (S25, $35,
P12); Bittium alternatum - New Bruns-
wick coast north to B5 and sporadically
to B17, east in Nova Scotia to George
Bay, widely around P.E.I., but not on the
Magdalens (see also Map 5); Odostomia
seminuda (S34, P5); Haminoea_ soli-
taria- mainland north to B1/, widely
around P.E.I., but not on the Magda-
lens; the nudibranch Elysia chlorotica
(S31, B22, B31); the bivalves Cum-
mingia_ tellinoides - mainland north to
B8, not on the Magdalens; Pandora
gouldiana (M4, B20); and a large beach
deposit of fossil oyster shells at M8, pre-
viously noted by Medcof, Clarke and Er-
skine (1965). The boreal species Zir-
phaea crispata is common along peaty
margins of the northeastern New Bruns-
wick coast. Specimens of Saccog/ossus
kowalewskii (Agassiz) were confirmed

from station P34 by Dr. N. Burdon-
Jones (personal communication).
Unexpected records of live shallow-
water populations of cold-water or sub-
arctic species include: Mysis gaspensis
(S11, S16, P19, M4-M6, B11), Ba-
lanus balanus (P37, M10, B24), Meso-
desma arctatum (P26, M1, M10, B15),
Arctica islandica (P25,M11, M12), Vol-
sella modiolus (P37, M11), Margarites
helicinus (P37), and Buccinum undatum
(P25, P27,M12, B16). Apparently, very
sharp vertical and seasonal thermo-
clines permit both warm-water and cold-
water faunas to exist virtually side by
side in this region. The Magdalen Is-
lands did not yield living specimens of
Crassostrea virginica, Mercenaria mer-
cenaria, Volsella demissa, Nassarius ob-
soletus, cerithiid snails, Neopanope tex-
ana sayi, Palaemontes vulgarus, or
Balanus improvisus. The absence from
the Magdalen Islands of these abundant
and dominant indicators of Virginian
summer conditions suggests that the
name ‘‘Magdalen pocket’’ may not be
entirely applicable or suitable.
Atlantic Coast of Eastern Nova Scotia
(Table 5; Map 1C)
The outer coast of eastern Nova Scotia,
particularly from Clam Harbour to In-
dian Harbour, is essentially a cold-water
region. Here are found the lowest sum-
mer surface temperatures and the great-
est seasonal range of air temperatures.
Atlantic Coast of Eastern Nova Scotia
The rigorous continental climate ac-
counts mainly for the low species diver-
sity, the low incidence of winter thermo-
philes, and the rarity of warm-water
endemics. The influence of the substra-
tum on faunal composition is marked.
The regional bedrock is igneous and acid-
ic, forming a sharp escarpment (a more
than 50-foot drop) a few miles inland
from the outer coast. The estuaries are
thus short and lack extensive sandy-
mud tidal flats. Cold water penetrates
up the channels, upwelling is induced
by prevailing offshore weather systems,
and the surface flow of fresh water into
the estuary is low in nutrients and pH.
All these factors combine to produce
conditions unsuitable for warm-water
estuarine endemics, particularly those
with pelagic larvae. Only Oyster Pond
and Ostrea Lake today offer suitable, if
tenuous, physical conditions for comple-
tion of the life cycles of such organisms
(see also Medcof et al. 1965).
The axis of an estuary may have an
important bearing on its faunal compo-
sition. If the axis is elongate and at right
angles to the ocean front, surf and cold
water penetrate well into the bay in
summer; the fauna is composed largely
of cold-water or boreal eurytherms and
lacks endemics. Along somewhat more
mature coastlines, estuaries tend to
broaden at the mouth and are partly
protected by barrier bars and shallow
sills. With moderate protection from
surf, inner waters stratify in summer,
and a few warm-water species may be
found there. Along mature coastlines, la-
goons with sandy barrier bars develop,
the axis of the estuary becomes more or
less parallel to the coast, and inner wa-
ters are completely protected from surf
and cold-water invasion. Summer strati-
fication and a warm-water plankton-
retention mechanism characterize the
circulation. Most of the estuaries of east-
ern Nova Scotia can today be included
among the first two categories de-
scribed, whereas very few (e.g. Cole
Harbour) fit into the third category or
close to it. In hypsithermal times
(c. 7OOO bp), however, lowered sea lev-
els exposed extensive offshore sandy ar-
chipelagos that had probably developed
mature estuarine profiles, and thereby
provided a sort of stepping-stone north-
ward passageway for warm-water es-
tuarine endemics into the Gulf of St.
Lawrence (see also Bousfield and
Thomas, in press).
The warm-water or ‘‘oyster’’ fauna
occurs sporadically along the eastern
Nova Scotia coast, although surprisingly
widespread are Corophium insidosum
(absent only from A36-A42 and A54-
A60), Bittium alternatum (A4, A6, A17,
A22, A23, A27, A31, A32, A34, A47,
A66, A70), and Jel/lina agilis (including
A48, A53, A58, A59, A61, A66, A68,
A69). Other notable records among the
crustaceans are Haustorius canadensis
(A17), Caprella penantis (A16, A73),
Leptochelia rapax (A5, A22, A34, A37,
A61, A70O, A79), and Mysis stenolepis
(A4,A16, A22,A61, A63, A66, A69).
An apparent lack of Ba/anus impro-
visus, Ampithoe longimana, and warm-
water decapods probably reflects the
unsuitability of present-day summer
temperatures and estuarine circulation
for prolonged pelagic larval develop-
ment and retention. Most warm-water
molluscs occur in pockets west of Sheet
Harbour or in the Chedabucto Bay and
Cape Breton regions, with occasional
specimens at intervening localities (ice-
rafted shells), e.g.: the gastropods Mit-
rella lunatia (A6, A17, A22, A32), Re-
tusa canaliculata (A25, A31, A32, A3A4),
Crepidula fornicata (A22, A34, A43),
Nassarius obsoletus (A6, A17, A22,
A27, A32, A70, A71, A79), and Hami-
noea solitaria (A27); the bivalves Cras-
sostrea virginica (A1, A6), Mysella plan-
ulata (A17, A19), Volsella demissa (A1,

A5, A6, empty valves at A52), Pandora
gouldiana (A22, A33), Petricola pholadi-
formis (A6, A22, empty valves at A66),
and Pitar morrhuana (A19, A27, A35,
A43). Winter-mild thermophiles occur
eastward along the coast as follows:
Amphiporeia virginiana (to A5O), Marino-
gammarus finmarchicus (to A29), Bathy-
poreia quoddyensis (A10, A12, A73),
Chiridothea caeca (to A5O), and Orches-
tia grillus (to A6O). Orchestia gamma-
rella was taken at A22, and the pipefish
Syngnathus fuscus at A71.
Cold-water and subarctic species are
not uncommon close inshore, especially
in the region east of Sheet Harbour to
Cape Canso (A43-A60). These include

Northern New England and Western
Nova Scotia (Table 6; Map 1D)
The New England coast north of Cape
Cod is a boreal or cold-temperate region
that may be divided into two zoogeo-
graphical subregions. On the basis of
surface-water characteristics and faunal
composition, we may recognize (1) the
Northern New England and Western Nova Scotia
Map 5 Distribution of subarctic and temperate indicator species:
Bittium alternatum
section north from Penobscot Bay by its
uniformly cold (less than 12°C) summer
surface temperatures and relatively high
salinities, in which boreal and subarctic
faunal elements are dominant; and (2)
the section south of Penobscot Bay con-
taining pockets of warm brackish waters
in which Virginian faunal elements are
dominant.
The Cape Cod region has long been
recognized as a practical northern limit
of the main populations of the Virginian
fauna and a southern limit of the boreal
fauna. In actuality, however, many of
the warm-water invertebrates extend
northward into northern New England
and cold-water invertebrates to Long Is-
land Sound and southward. Notable
northern New England records among
the warm-water arthropods are Limulus
polyphemus (M32, M33), Balanus im-
provisus (M33, M35), Pagurus long-
icarpus (M31, M32), Rhithropanopeus
harrisi (M58), Exosphaeroma orego-
nensis (M75), Heteromysis formosa
(M73), Melita nitida (M35, M39), Am-
pithoe valida (M35), Corophium ache-
rusicum (M33), Gammarus palustris
(M58), and Orchestia uhleri (M52,
M53). Extending northward into west-
ern Nova Scotia are Palaemonetes pugio
(S17), Mysis stenolepis (S3, S11),
Praunus’ flexuosus (SQ), Carcinides
maenas (S11, S2, $17, S19), Libime
emarginata (S1), Corophium insidiosum
(S9, S17), and C. /acustre (head of St.
Marys Bay).
Records of winter-mild thermophiles
include Orchestia gammarella (S4, M7),
Ligia oceanica (S4, S6,S16, M56), and
21
General Hydrobiological Characteristics of the Study Regions
Littorophiloscia vittata (S11, S13, S17,
S20, M34) (see also Lemos de Castro
1965).
Noteworthy records of warm-water
molluscs include the gastropods Poli-
nices duplicata (M71, M73), Urosalpinx
cinerea (S9, M32, M33), Bittium al-
ternatum (M77), Haminoea solitaria
(M19, M20), Nassarius obsoletus (S1,
$17,M1,M20), Crepidula fornicata (S1,
S9,M19, M20, shell at M6), Mitrella /u-
natia (S1, S9, M32, M33), and Ovatella
myosotis (S11, M33); the bivalves Cras-
sostrea virginica (M39, M57), Merce-
naria mercenaria (S1, S8, M19, M32,
M33), Volsella demissa (S8, S17, M20,
M32-M34), Petricola pholadiformis
(S9, M20, M32, M33), Pandora goul-
diana (S1, S8, S9), Mysella planulata
(S9), and Tellina agilis (S1, M1, M30);
and the squid Lo/igo pealii (S1).
In the lower part of the tidal zone,
along Maine and Scotian coasts border-
ing the entrance to the Bay of Fundy,
are found a number of cold-stenother-
mal invertebrates that occur subtidally
elsewhere: Cancer borealis, Balanus ba-
lanus, Melita dentata, Pontoporeia femo-
rata, Anonyx sarsi, Volsella modiolus,
Arctica islandica, Astarte undata, Meso-
desma arctatum, Buccinum undatum,
and Margarites helicinus. Especially
noteworthy records of cold-water spe-
cies include Mysis gaspensis (M10,
M11), Mancocuma stellifera (M9), Gam-
marus setosus (S12, M5), and southern
interdidal populations of Cancer borealis
and Buccinum undatum (M72).
