Abstract
The modern ostracodes of Chesterfield Inlet, an arctic estuary have been investigated. Except for the unidentified ostracode taxa reported in station lists from Hudson Bay (Leslie, 1963, 1965), this study represents the first detailed analysis of ostracodes from the Hudson Bay area. ... Salinity is the most common factor affecting the distribution of ostracodes in the inlet. ... The association of Candona and Cytheromorpha macchesneyi in waters with salinity values of between 2-3 ppt has important implications in paleoenvironmental interpretations, based on ostracodes, during the Quaternary. Cronin (1977) suggested a similar association of Cytheromorpha macchesneyi and freshwater species, based on a study of the ostracodes from Quaternary Champlain Sea deposits.
