| Summary: | In the course of investigations into the fish and shrimp resources of an area from the southern edge of the Grand Bank and the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Cape Dyer, Baffin Island, numbers of Mollusca were taken. Commercial trawls were used for the great majority of the hauls and because of mesh selection most of the Mollusca taken were specimens of the larger species. The majority of the 45 species collected are well known and the value of the present list lies in the records of distribution from an area where climatic conditions have severely restricted past sampling endeavour. |
