Abstract Although the majority of the autochthonous heterotrophic bacterioplankton of the lower Fraser River appear to be killed when placed in Strait of Georgia marine water, their marine counterparts within Strait of Georgia surface water remain viable when treated with Fraser River water. However, within the plume water which naturally results when the freshwater of the Fraser River mixes with marine water of the Strait of Georgia, a stimulation in glucose heterotrophic activities occurs within the salinity range of approximately 3–18‰S. These increased bacterioplankton activities may be a consequence of a better nutrient environment within plume waters as compared to either parent water.
