Abstract
The morphometry, temperature, salinity, and oxygen characteristics are described for an inlet on the southwestern coast of Vancouver Island. Although the inlet is over 200 m deep, only the upper 20-30 m (about 1/4 of its total volume) appears to be oxygenated. There are marked changes, both vertically and horizontally, in salinity of near-surface water. All components of the biota observed are either marine, brackish or euryhaline forms.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
