Systematic visual aerial surveys were flown in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence during March 1990 and 1991 to estimate hooded seal (Cystophora cristata) pup production. In 1990, the main whelping patch, occupying an area of 264 km2, was located near Cape Breton Island. One hundred and five pups were counted on 17 transects, resulting in a mean density of 1.74 pups∙kim−2 and an estimated pup production of 1638 (SE = 466). In 1991, a large whelping patch was located to the west of the Magdalen Islands, a second off the coast of Prince Edward Island, and a small patch was later found south of the Magdalen Islands. The two major patches were surveyed, resulting in a pup production estimate of 1564 (SE = 101). During the 1991 surveys, an estimated 71–93% of the pups were on the ice. Correcting for the distribution of births results in a minimum 1991 pup production estimate of 2006 (SE = 190) for the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

During the winters of 1959 to 1962, 2459 commercial-sized cod were tagged off the Canadian coast south of the Laurentian Channel. Most returns came from the same general area. Very few cod crossed the Laurentian Channel to Newfoundland or Gulf of St. Lawrence North Shore grounds, or the Scotian Gulf to grounds off western Nova Scotia. Several cod populations were observed, each moving south in autumn and north in spring months. Fish tagged off central Nova Scotia did not migrate as far as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, but those tagged off Cape Breton migrated into the southwestern Gulf for summer months. Fish marked in the middle of the area were intermediate in their migration pattern.Temperature and feeding appear to be the important factors associated with cod migrations. Cod remain in temperatures of 1° to 4 °C during winter months by moving to deeper water. In spring, cod disperse and feed in shoaler water. The cod of the Western-Emerald Banks area move east over the Scotian Shelf. The Gulf cod move up through the cold-water layer and north to inshore feeding near the Magdalen Islands and the Gaspé peninsula.

A Shell Disease in Lobsters (Homarus americanus) Caused by Chitinovorous Bacteria

Chitinovorous bacteria have been isolated from lobsters (Homarus americanus) showing a peculiar shell disease. Cases are reported (1936) from ten widely separated localities in Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island and Magdalen islands. A regular epidemic occurred in a lobster pound at Yarmouth, N.S. All isolated strains attack strips of purified chitin in Benecke's saline medium in a characteristic manner.

Detailed gravity and magnetic surveys confirm seismic refraction evidence of a deep (8–10 km) Carboniferous infilled sedimentary basin (the Magdalen basin) between the Magdalen Islands and Newfoundland. The basin margins are associated with gravity and magnetic 'highs' indicating shallow depths (1–3 km) to pre-Carboniferous basement rocks east of the Magdalen Islands and between Cape Breton Island and Newfoundland. The central Magdalen basin is associated with a large amplitude gravity 'low' (50–60 mgal). This can be partly explained by a 2–4 km thickness of low density Late Mississippian sediments overlain by 1–2 km of Upper Pennsylvanian or younger sediments. The western Magdalen basin is associated with large amplitude (20–40 mgal) circular and elongate gravity 'lows'. Detailed interpretations suggest they are caused by low density evaporite structures. The circular 'lows' are interpreted as salt diapirs. The elongate 'lows' are interpreted as structures in the crest of Mississippian/Pennsylvanian anticlines similar to occurrences of Windsor Group evaporites in northern Nova Scotia. The western Magdalen basin may represent one of the largest areas of salt accumulation in Eastern Canada.

Cape Breton Island is a well-known North American tourism destination with long-standing attractions such as the Cabot Trail and more recently developed world-class offerings such as the Cabot Links Golf Course. Tourism contributes significantly to Cape Breton’s economy, particularly since the mid-20th century as traditional resource-based industries have declined. In the 21st century, culinary tourism has become increasingly important to expand the island’s tourism offerings and to provide “authentic” tourism experiences. This study examines local-food tourism in Cape Breton to illuminate its cultural and economic significance. I conducted interviews with food producers, restaurateurs, government representatives, and tourism executives. I also consulted websites and policy documents and compared local stakeholders’ experiences and perspectives with official tourism strategies. Promoting culinary tourism raises questions of power, autonomy, inclusion, and accountability. My study accentuates possibilities for aligning economic and ecological goals to create resilient communities, foster equitable social and ecological relations, and establish Cape Breton as a culinary tourism destination.
