Hyperoodon Ampullatus

A 615-cm male northern bottlenose whale (Hyperoodon ampullatus) stranded in Cobequid Bay, Bay of Fundy, in early October 1969. The skull, mandible, tympano-periotics, and teeth are described and illustrated. Five growth layers in the lower teeth place the animal below a growth curve based on samples from the Labrador Sea taken in May and June. A summary of nine other North American occurrences of 12 individuals, mainly south of Sable Island, indicates a winter migration to waters offshore of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Biological Factors

Crustacean and rotifer plankton assemblages of 93 lakes in Labrador, 107 in Newfoundland, and 142 in New Brunswick – Nova Scotia were investigated for evidence of correlations with lake morphometric, chemical, or biological factors. Labrador assemblages were almost completely lacking in identifiable structure. Newfoundland species clustered into two groups of different body size, suggesting the influence of fish predation. Only one species in Labrador and Newfoundland was significantly correlated with a derived factor related to lake water buffering capacity. New Brunswick – Nova Scotia species clustered into two groups, one featuring significant positive and the other significant negative correlations with the buffering factor. From this we conclude that acidification is having an impact on the limnetic zooplankton of these two provinces. Multiple discriminant analysis was used to demonstrate that New Brunswick – Nova Scotia lakes differing in their buffering capacity were also distinct in zooplankton composition. Lakes with low factor scores (low pH, alkalinity, and calcium) were mainly located in the Bay of Fundy region; this area has above average fog and precipitation, and lies within the summer air flow carrying pollutants from the south.
