On the Occurrence of "Arctic" Cladocera with Special Reference to those along the Strait of Belle Isle (Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland)

In September, 1978, ten ponds inhabited by Cladocera were sampled along the coasts of the Strait of Belle Isle. Fourteen out of nineteen species that were found there also occur in Greenland. On the Other hand, a comparison with faunal lists for the island of Newfoundland and several faunal regions...
