Initial growth rate for autumn-hatched herring larvae in the Bay of Fundy–Gulf of Maine area is about 2 mm per week. It gradually declines to less than 1 mm per week during the late autumn and winter months, and then increases geometrically in the spring and early summer to an average of 2.5 mm per week.

We present evidence for existence of a universal lower bound for the initial growth rate of the epidemic curve of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. This can be used to infer that, on average, an asymptomatic infected individual is infectious during 5.6 plus/minus 0.3 days. We further present evidence of an average time scale of 12 days for halving the number of new cases, or new deaths, during the extinction period of the first phase of the epidemic.

Plankton surveys in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine in 1958 and 1959 indicated that the largest herring spawning areas in this region are on the northern edge of Georges Bank and off the southwest coast of Nova Scotia. The drift of larvae from the spawning grounds as indicated by increasing size and by the direction of non-tidal surface currents suggest that Bay of Fundy herring stocks are supplied chiefly from the Nova Scotia spawnings.

A study of the herring of the south and west coasts of Newfoundland in 1957 and 1958 revealed no great fluctuations in relative year-class strength and indicated a fairly high survival rate from the age of recruitment to the fishery.The rate of growth was higher than that found by Tibbo (1956) in 1942–44, and no significant difference in growth rate was demonstrated between the south coast and the region of Bay of, Islands and Port au Port Bay.The study indicated an unusual spread in spawning time with probably peaks in spring, autumn and winter, while prior to about 1950 the Newfoundland herring were apparently all spring spawners. It is suggested that this has caused changes in the traditional pattern of distribution, which have been unfavourable for the herring fishery, and it may also have resulted in an actual decrease in population size.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) postsmolts surveyed by surface trawling in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine during 2001–2003 were aggregated in several areas in the Bay of Fundy and dispersed over a broader area in the Gulf of Maine. Postsmolt distribution reflected the major surface-current vectors and was independent of origin (wild vs. hatchery, inner vs. outer Bay of Fundy). Migration proceeded without disruption, and marked wild postsmolts from both the inner and outer Bay of Fundy were recaptured in the outer Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine, where their distribution overlapped the commercial fishery for Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus). Marked postsmolts of wild origin were recaptured more frequently than those of hatchery origin but the overall density was low, and no schools of postsmolts were encountered that could offer protection from predators. Temperature and salinity in postsmolt habitat were favourable for growth and survival. Postsmolts were in excellent condition and had no bacterial or viral pathogens or salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). They were feeding on pelagic prey (amphipods, euphausiids, and fish larvae) and the period of accelerated marine growth had started, indicating that environmental conditions and food supply were not limiting growth and survival.
