Abstract
89 stations were occupied in Passamaquoddy Bay and Letang Inlet, southwestern Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick between 7 and 17 September, 1999. Water samples were collected for analysis of salinity, dissolved inorganic nutrient nutrients and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Near-bottom water samples were collected for salinity, nutrients and DOC and also for suspended matter grain size analysis. Sediments samples taken from 61 stations with a 0.10 m2 grab were analyzed for temperature, percent organic matter, percent water, pH, sulfide, redox (Eh) potential, grain size and trace metal concentrations. Geo-referenced data for variables are listed in tables, graphs and maps to indicate spatial patterns. For most variables, highest values were observed in Back Bay and close to a processing plant in Black's Harbour. In central Letang Inlet, away from fish plant effluents, values of all variables reflected background conditions more typical of offshore areas in the Bay of Fundy. Fewer samples (n=27) were collected in Passamaquoddy Bay but higher values for most variables along the northern and western margins possible reflected land-based inputs of dissolved and particulate matter.
