An Illustrated Catalogue of Foraminifera and Ostracoda from Canso Strait and Chedabucto Bay, Nova Scotia

A multidisciplinary survey was carried out in the Strait of Canso area during the summer of 1973 to determine the possible effects of industrialization of the area on the marine environment. This report is an illustrated catalogue of the Foraminifera and Ostracoda of the study. Samples were collected with benthic grabs and cores. Samples were sieved, stained in Rose Bengal, dried and weighted. After drying samples were transferred into samples of 10:4 Bromoform-Acetone in which less dense tests and shells were separated. The floating samples were dried and examined under microscope where the forams and ostracods were identified and counted. Plates showing images of the samples can be found in the original data report(Cole,1975).

This research was conducted by the Atlantic Geoscience Centre of the Geological Survey of Canada, department of energy, mines and resources.

1973年夏季，研究人员于坎索海峡（Strait of Canso）区域开展多学科调查，旨在探明该区域工业化进程对海洋环境可能产生的影响。本报告为本次研究涉及的有孔虫（Foraminifera）与介形类（Ostracoda）图文名录。样品通过底栖抓斗与岩芯采集获得，经过筛、玫瑰红（Rose Bengal）染色、干燥及称重处理后，被移入10:4比例的溴仿-丙酮（Bromoform-Acetone）混合液中，以分离密度较低的壳体。漂浮所得样品经干燥后置于显微镜下观察，完成有孔虫与介形类的鉴定与计数工作。包含样品图像的图版可参见原始数据报告（Cole,1975）。
