Zealand coastal waters. Noted are the morphology and range of morphological variations in the specimens as seen by SEM. Includes 23 micrographs. NZOI, DSIR, P.O.

Response of three polar diatoms to a simulated summer-winter transition. J. Phycol., 18(4):489-498.
A decrease in growth rate, photosynthetic rate and cellular ATP; greatly increased heterotrophic potential; and storage and use of carbon reserves were exhibited in diatoms subjected to a simulated seasonal transition (decreased light and temperature, increased salinity). Decreased light intensity alone triggered characteristic winter responses in some cases. Dept. of Biol. Sci., Univ. of S. California, Los Angeles, Calif. 90007, USA.

Large-scale red tides usually occurred in the eastern part of the sea for ~ 2 weeks in summer. C. antiqua accumulated nearshore when flood tide was long, offshore when ebb tide was long. In the second paper, an exception to the general pattern of association between red tide and periods of long flood tide showed that when wind was strong and in the direction of the tidal current, the effect on C. antiqua accumulation was multiplied; when wind direction opposed the tidal current, the effect was reversed.

Examination of coelobite communities on Philippine reefs which had been drilled for oil took place 15 months post-drilling. Discharges (mud and cuttings) were found up to 100 m from the well head lodged in coral rubble cavities whose walls were stained brown. Largest disturbance of the cavity-dwellers occurred within 40 m of the well site; minor changes were seen out to 75-100 m. As coelobites dwell in cavities and are quite susceptible to smothering from fine-grained sediment, they may be useful indicators of pollution due to high sedimentation rates. Comp. Sedimentol.
