One problem after an- other beset the crews. It was miserablely cold, two of the pumps broke in succes- sion, and finally they had to rent another one. Later, Stephen Sharret, a news re- porter, appeared in the night and even helped load barrels in to a waiting 5 ton truck. By 1:30 AM, the workers had collected their quota and the truck left for Borden, mak- ing the crossing just before a storm hit.

Professor Hanic has con- tinued surveying the pres- ence of the nitzschia in Island rivers. Pinette, - Charlotte- town, North River, Victoria, and Elerslie have all tested negative. Wood Islands has a trace of the diatoms, along with St. Mary’s, Boughten Island, and Cardigan.

This means that the presence of the diatom corre- © lates well with toxic mussels. Jerry Johnson at AVC is do- ing some work with the mus- sels at present as well as the continued testing in Ottawa.

We are still not sure if it was the diatoms who were the culprit. The nitzschia con- tain domoic acid, which fed- eral government researchers have identified as the toxin that caused the problems re- cently, but can nitzschia pro- duce the toxin or are they mearly carriers? Did the un- usually high concentrations of the diatom drift in from the sea?

Prof. Hanic doesn’t think so. He tested the wa- ter along the East coast of the province and farther off the coast and concentrations of diatoms seems to be ar- ranged in a fan shape radiat- ing from the Cardigan river.

There are lots of ques- tions still to be answered. Are the toxins harboured by a bacteria riding in or on the diatom? This ques- tion will take some sophis- tocated staining techniques and electron microscopy to answer. Maybe the toxin is a metabolic product of the

waste. The investigation goes on. Student investiga-

tive minds were also involved over the holidays. Dwight Thompson and Nancy Tay- lor had just taken a_ sea- weed course and went down to the Federal Fisheries Lab- oratory on Riverside Drive to help with the marine botan- ical work. Specifically, they helped look for evidence of Chodria from samples taken by divers and shore collec- tors. Also involved were Stephen Farmer and Neil MacNair, who collected sea- weed from Cardigan.

Prof... Hanic says they

were a big help and had

praise for the Federal and Provincial departments of Fisheries and for a team from the Bedford Institute. The Bedford Institute is cur- rently carrying out sampling of phytoplankton and mud from many parts of the Is- land.
