An extensive ecological study of Marion Lake, B.C. was undertaken between 1963 and 1973 by the University of British Columbia Institute of Fisheries (renamed the Institute of Animal Resource Ecology in 1968/69) to identify the components and develop a systems model of a fresh-water ecosystem. The project, under the direction of Ian E. Efford of University of British Columbia's Department of Zoology, received funding from the Canadian Committee of the International Biological Program in 1967, becoming a part of a fifty- nation plan of interdisciplinary research on biological productivity and adaptability.
