| Abstract | The present study was undertaken to describe the faunal and sediment characteristics of the lower intertidal region of the Starrs Point mudbar. Our objectives were as follows: 1) to determine the numerical abundance and distribution of invertebrates; 2) to investigate various aspects of the biology of the major food species, Corophium volutator; 3) to describe coarse and fine sediment particle distribution; 4) to determine the water and organic content of sediments at the same location; 5) to establish relationships between invertebrates and sediments. A final aspect of this project deals with the breeding and foraging ecology of the Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) in the southern Minas Basin. |
