Demersal and Benthic Communities in Howe Sound Basin and Their Responses to Dissolved Oxygen Deficiency
This report presents benthic biological observations related to
dissolved oxygen (D.O.) conditions before, during and after 2 renewals of bottom water in the northern basin of Howe Sound on the southwest coast of British Columbia. Results are pertinent to several applied
problems including ocean dumping and aquatic D.O. criteria.

- Purpose
-
The biological work was conducted partly in conjunction with studies relating to ocean dumping in Howe Sound. Trawl surveys began in August 1976. A dramatic decline in benthic and epibenthic communities behind the sill was observed in August 1977, and this prompted an extension of surveys until a large exchange of water occurred in March 1979.
