Fig. 49- Horizontal distribution of marine benthonic organisms in Queen Charlotte Strait. 
that the distribution of marine organisms in 
time and space can be explained on the basis of 
oceanographic features — provided the geologi- 
cal, physical, chemical, and biological factors of 
the environment and their interaction can be 
adequately assessed. Any attempt to oversimplify 
such a many-sided and complicated study would 
be an avoidance of reality. However, in such a 
study one expects to make assumptions based 
on the knowledge available, in some instances 
of necessity by extrapolation, and to pass 
through a descriptive phase in an attempt to
