STUDIES ON BRYOZOA (POLYZOA) OF THE BAY OF FUNDY REGION. II.- BRYOZOA FROM FIFTY FATHOMS, BAY OF FUNDY
Thirty-eight species and one variety of Bryozoa are reported here associated with the scallop beds (Placopecten magellanicus) at a depth of 50-55 fathoms in the Bay of Fundy, eastern Canada. One species, viz. Amphibiestrumosburni is described as new. Bryozoans were found to be particularly abundant...

| Summary: | Thirty-eight species and one variety of Bryozoa are reported here associated with the scallop beds (Placopecten magellanicus) at a depth of 50-55 fathoms in the Bay of Fundy, eastern Canada. One species, viz. Amphibiestrumosburni is described as new. Bryozoans were found to be particularly abundant encrusting the internal surfaces of scallop valves, many of which had been disarticulated and returned to the sea-floor during commercial fishing operations. Several species which occur on rocks and stones in the intertidal zone (see part one of these studies) were not found in deeper water. Existing evidence suggests that the northern area of the Gulf of Maine comprises a natural southern boundary for several predominately arctic species. |
