Macoma carlottensis Whiteaves, 1880 is abundant (up to approximately 350 nr2) in subtidal infaunal communities on the continental shelf of western United States (Lie & Kelly, 1970; Word, 1979) and in British Columbia fjords (Ellis, 1969). Of thirteen different species of Macoma identified from the coastal waters of southern British Columbia, M. carlottensis is the most tolerant to variations in water depth, sediment particle size, current exposure, and salinity (Dunnill & Ellis, 1969). Observations of the species maintained in sediment trays in our laboratory suggest thatM. carlottensis is an infaunal, primarily sub-surface deposit feeder which generally lies at a depth of 1-4 cm with its left valve downwards. Filter feeding was observed in some instances as indicated by extension of the siphons from 0-5-3 cm above the substrate.

Cucullanus annulatus n. sp., parasitic in the intestine of the pleuronectiform fish Parophrys vetulus Girard from coastal waters of British Columbia, is described. The species of Cucullanus known from Pleuronectiformes are reviewed. Cucullanus wülkeri Kreis is considered a synonym of C. heterochrous (Rudolphi).

Major marine construction projects, resulting in the release of sediments, are subject to environmental assessment and other regulatory approval processes. An important tool used for this is the development of specialized numerical methods for these marine activities. An integrated set of numerical methods addresses four distinct topics: the near-field release and mixing of suspended sediments into the water column (i.e. the initial dilution zone); the transport of the suspended sediments under the influence of complex ocean currents in the far-field; the settling of the transported suspended sediments onto the seabed; and the potential for resuspension of the deposited sediments due to sporadic occurrences of unusually large near-bottom currents. A review of projects subjected to environmental assessment in the coastal waters of British Columbia from the year 2006 to 2017, is presented to illustrate the numerical models being used and their ongoing development. Improvements include higher resolution model grids to better represent the near-field, the depiction of particle size dependent vertical settling rates and the computation of resuspension of initially deposited sediments, especially in relation to temporary subsea piles of sediments arising from trenching for marine pipelines. The ongoing challenges for this numerical modeling application area are also identified.
