L.AW'R~NCE by D.B. Little1 and S.N. Messieh Fisheries and Oceans Marine Fish Division Bedford Institute of Oceanography Dartmouth, N.S. 1 - on contract to Marine Fish Division -1- \ . INTRODUCTION During the spring and fall of 1979 and spring of 1980 icthyoplankton surveys were conducted in the Miramichi Bay of New Brunswick and the northern Northumberland Strait area - Gulf of St. Lawrence (Figure 1). The objective of these surveys was to determine the distribution and abundance of herring larvae, however, other species of fish larvae were also collected. Twenty-one species were identified during these collections. Due to the scarcity of references on larval fish in this area, ident­ ification of the species was not easy. The only available reference on fishes in the Miramichi Bay is by McKenzie (1959). His paper contains a checklist of the adult fish found in the area and their fisheries without reference of the larvae. Descriptions of larval fish species collected in neighbouring waters are found in a few scattered references. The species described were of the four­ beard rockling (Faber 1976a), artic and radiated shanny (Faber 1976b), capeli.n . (Templeman 1948), sculpin (Khan 1971), yellowtail flounder, american plaice (Van Guelpen 1980), and mackerel larvae (Berrien 1975). A paper by Dannevig in 1914 on "Canadian Fish Eggs and Larvae 11 contains sketches of many of the same species collected during the Miramichi surveys but did not contain des­ criptions or identifying features of these larvae. A review of published work on larval identification for Northwest Atlantic, by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Anon 1978) was available and consulted frequently. However, this publication refers to larvae collected in the Mid-Atlantic Bight, and des­ criptions given were not always congruent with those of our samples. This report is designed to aid those engaged in larval fish identification in the Miramichi Bay or nearby waters in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The manual includes descriptions of 21 larvae and a key for their identification. It should be remembered that the descriptions and key apply to those samples ex­ amined during these surveys. As pigmentation patterns may vary with larval size, descriptions based on this character, for sizes outside the size range examined, should be taken with care. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sampling stations in the surveyed area are shown in Figure 1. At each station a step oblique tow was conducted for a duration of 12 minutes, starting as close as possible from the bottom hauling up to the surface. Sampling gear consisted of nets of two mesh sizes (.333 mm and .505 mm) mounted on a .61 meter bongo frame. Samples were immediately washed with sea water and preserved in 5% formalin. Tables 1 and 2 present location and date of fish samples used in identification as well as the size range of the larvae collected. Sorting of larvae was carried out in a gridded petri dish under a binocular microscope. Identified larvae were separated by species, counted and placed in separate labelled vials. Drawings of larvae were made to scale by the use of a drawing tube attached to the microscope. Pigmentation was of much use in ident­ ification. A description of melanophyte types is presented in Table 3. An -2- • > identification key based on the most distinguishing characteristics of species examined was constructed. A reference collection of all species collected and identified is available at the Marine Fish Division, BIO, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. -3- ' . Key for Identifying Fish Larvae in the Miramichi Bay 1.

This MEKS mandate is to consider land and water areas in which the proposed properties contained within the proposed project are located and to identify what Mi’kmaq traditional use activities have occurred, or are currently occurring within, and what Mi’kmaq ecological knowledge presently exists in regards to the area. In order to ensure accountability and ethic responsibility of this MEKS, the MEKS development has adhered to the “Mi’kmaq Ecological Knowledge Protocol, 2nd Edition”. This protocol is a document that has been established by the Assembly of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq Chiefs, which speaks to the process, procedures and results that are expected of a MEKS.

  • Candidate Ceropales Bipunctata
    Surveys for the high priority COSEWIC- candidate Ceropales bipunctata Ceropales bipunctata. Photographed 20 August 2015 at Cap Lumière John Klymko and Sarah Robinson Atlantic Canada Conservation Data Centre Report to New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund WTF Project # B215-034 April 1, 2016 Introduction Ceropales bipunctata, a species of spider wasp (Pompilidae) found in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada, is a high priority COSEWIC candidate. In southern Ontario this species was commonly collected in the past, with over 100 specimens from 15 different sites present in three major Ontario collections collected from the 1880s to the 1950s (Godsoe 2003). No specimens were taken in Ontario again between 1957 and the publication date of Godsoe's paper. Since 2003 it has been collected in Ontario at three locations (S. Paiero, University of Guelph Insect Collection, pers. comm.), however the overall trend of significant decline stills appears evident. A very similar pattern is evident amongst specimens collected United States, suggesting declines across the entire range (Godsoe, 2003). There are not enough records to know if there's been a similar decline in the Maritimes , though the available data suggests the species is limited to dune habitats here. The known historic records from the Maritimes are as follows: specimens from Shippagan and Tracadie (both collected in 1939, specimens at the Canadian National Collection [CNC] [Godsoe 2003]), and a Prince Edward Island specimen from Brackley Beach (collected in 1940, CNC [Godsoe 2003]). Contemporary records from prior to 2015 area as follows: photographic records from the Petit-Cap dune from 2012 and 2013 and the Maisonette dune from 2012 (all recent occurrences were documented by Stuart Tingley, see http://bugguide.net/node/view/119131).
