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.

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. ——>
