Protozoa-ciliata of a small pond at Logy Bay, Newfoundland
The ciliate fauna of a small, freshwater pond at Logy Bay, Newfoundland was studied in 1968-70. A preliminary survey of the seasonal occurrence of the protozoa as affected by ecological parameters was made. -- The study pond is quite acidic (pH 4.50-5.15), with high chloride content (99.26 p.p.m.),...
