Abstract:
Introduction
The University Field Station has taken on a dual role by maintaining
both an active research program and providing educational services
to University students, high schools and the general public. If natural
resources like the Delta Marsh are to be maintained and managed to yield
their maximum benefits, basic ecological information must be gathered
and its significance disseminated as widely as possible. By combining
research and education, the Station endeavors to meet these objectives.
During 1973 the Station increased its already active program in
research and teaching. For example, it was used for 454 resident weeks,
an increase of 11% over 1972. The participants included:
Staff
Dr. J. Gee (Acting Director)
Dr. J. M. Shay (Director)
J. Evans (Botany)
Dr. ' G. Robinson (Botany)
Dr. C. Tudorancea (Zoology)

Our facilities were used for short periods by Dr. M. Aleksiuk (Zoology),
Dr. T. Booth (Biology Teaching Unit), Dr. R. Green, R. Pauls and T.
Stewart (Zoology) in relation to their research. We were pleased to
welcome Dr. C. Tudorancea (Faculty of Biology, University of Bucharest)
who joined the staff as a Post-doctoral Fellow in April to study benthic
fauna in Lake Manitoba. His investigations will continue until September
1974.
