✦ Synopsis

Viable heterotrophic microorganisms were enumerated to be 3.7 + 7.3 bacterial cells per microbial clump during summer in the euphotic zone of Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, Canada. Large microbial aggregates were observed, especially after the phytoplankton bloom, when the phytoplankton biomass formed about 1/2 the total suspended organic matter in the sea. The cell number per microbial clump was minimal when the phytoplankton fraction in the total suspended organic matter was almost 0 (i.e., before the phytopIankton bloom), and again when the phytoplankton bloom occurred. The size of the microbial clumps is discussed, particularly in reference to the food chain in the sea.

Holocene laminated sediments in Saanich Inlet, British Columbia, are interrupted by frequent, non-laminated, massive layers. These layers may be debris Β―ows released by earthquakes or bioturbated sediments deposited during periods of relatively high bottom water oxygen concentration and/or low surfa
