Ecological and oceanographic overview of the Napu'saqnuk / St. Mary's River Estuary, Nova Scotia, an ecologically significant area candidate under Canada's Fisheries Act / Meredith S. Fraser, Aimee Gromack,... : Fs97-6/3649E-PDF

"This overview of Napu’saqnuk / St. Mary’s River estuary summarizes what is known about its key physical and biological components. Napu’saqnuk is an Ecologically Significant Area (ESA) candidate under Canada’s Fisheries Act. The estuary exhibits a strong estuarine gradient in salinity, water temperature, and bottom sediments. This gradient supports diverse habitats including bare rock and sand/mud sediments, macroalgae, and seagrasses (eelgrass, widgeongrass). The distribution and species composition of macrophyte communities vary along the estuary and support fishes including the American Eel, Rainbow Smelt, Gaspereau, and Atlantic Salmon. Napu’saqnuk is a regionally unique and highly natural ecosystem within the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, with few barriers to fish passage, low human impacts, and no current industrial development"--Abstract, page xii.
