Notes
The rotifers found in ice from Frobischer Bay, Northwest Territories, Canada, are documented. A new species, Encentrum graingeri, and Proales reinhardti (Ehrenberg), a species recorded for the first time in Canada, are described and illustrated. Species assemblages found in ice are similar to those of marine interstitial habitats. The adaptations of these animals to life in ice are discussed.
