During August, 1974, a cruise was conducted into the waters off Nova Scotia and Bay of Fundy and data were collected on the temperature, salinity and density profiles at 46 stations. Measurements were also made on nutrients, phytoplankton biomass and carbon uptake. The OBIS collection is a subset of this dataset containing species distribution information.
