BIOLOGICAL AND OCEANOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS IN HUDSON BAY: I. HUDSON BAY AND THE DETERMINATION OF FISHERIES

The waters of Hudson bay, though potentially rich, do not present suitable conditions for the development of fisheries of any magnitude. Fresh water from an extensive drainage basin mixes only superficially with the salt water, so that the bay has an estuarial character, apart from the somewhat barr...

Fresh water from an extensive drainage basin mixes only superficially with the salt water, so that the bay has an estuarial character, apart from the somewhat barren deeper arctic water, with the fisheries largely those of the rivers emptying into it.
