Rates and Pathways of N2 Production in a Persistently Anoxic Fjord: Saanich Inlet, British Columbia

A comparative analysis of the ecology of sympatrically occurring Pholis laeta and Pholis ornata was conducted in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia. Summer microhabitat use of eelgrass bed depths, intertidal habitat use, prey type, and characteristic location of prey taken differed in fish older than 1 year and may have facilitated the coexistence of these morphologically similar species. Prey sizes and activity patterns were similar between species. Winter segregation of the species during the breeding season may have reduced the possibility of hybridization. Competition for breeding habitats and differences in trophic apparatus may partly explain the observed patterns of resource use.

The hydromedusa Geomackiea zephyrolata gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated. It has been placed in the subfamily Protiarinae of the family Pandeidae on the basis of its stomach and gonad morphology and the four large perradial tentacles with conical basal bulbs. A new genus has been erected because the medusa is supplied with four broad interradial bulbs, each rimmed by up to eight closely packed solid tentaculae. A total of 29 specimens with bell heights of 0.9–3.5 mm have been collected in the plankton of Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, and Friday Harbor, Washington, between 1978 and 1981. Juvenile as well as adult specimens are described and the cnidome, gametes, seasonal and vertical distributions, and taxonomic affinities within the family Pandeidae are discussed.

Anoxic Basin

Varved, black clayey silts deposited in the marine waters of Saanich Inlet yield unusually abundant and diverse pollen assemblages derived from the coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) forests of southwestern British Columbia. The 12 000 year palynological record chronicles the development of vegetation since ice left Saanich Inlet: the succession of pine (Pinus contorta) and alder (Alnus rubra) woodlands by forests characterized by Douglas-fir and oak (Quercus) and later by western hemlock and red cedar (Thuja plicata). Rapid deposition of annual layers of pollen, charcoal, and other terrigenous particles provides detailed evidence of changes in land use during the past few hundred years: settlement, logging, farming, and urbanization. Vegetational and climatic changes inferred from pollen spectra in the marine sediments of Saanich Inlet compare favorably with changes inferred from correlative pollen assemblages previously described from adjacent parts of Vancouver Island and the Fraser River valley.

A New Species

A new species Bradyidius saanichi from Saanich Inlet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, is described and illustrated in detail. This species is closely related to B. pacificus (Brodsky, 1950) among the six previously known species in the genus, but can be readily distinguished from the latter by the strongly divergent rostral rami in addition to some other differences.
