During the spring and summer of 1917 a marine biological investigation was carried on in the Gulf of St. Lawrence under the direction of Dr. A. G. Huntsman. Samples were collected at various points near the north and west shores of Cape Breton, from the vincity of the Magdalen islands and at some points in a line between Eastern Harbour, Cape Breton and the Magdalen islands. Hydrology and biology of the western Gulf of St. Lawrence was studied. This resource contains the phytoplankton collection associated with this expedition. Phytoplankton were collected from net tows conducted at various stations during the expedition. This resource contains presence information only - no abundance information is available
