Abstract
The presence of a biological front at the mouth of an inlet (fjord) on the coast of British Columbia, Canada was established. The presence of the biological front was consistent with physical predictions based on water velocity and depth. The frontal zone was characterized by a high primary productivity and surface chlorophyll. From spectral analysis of data the zone was found to fluctuate under tidal influence so that observations made at a single point showed a 14-d cycle in chlorophyll maxima which was about 180° out of phase with maxima in tidal exchange.
