F. General
83:3563 Will, S.A., 1982. Construction of offshore platforms. J. Constr. Div., Am. Soc. civ. Engrs, 108(CO4): 504-519. Capabilities and limitations of conventional construction techniques and equipment are described. In the past five years, three offshore platforms have been installed in water depths of ~ 1,000 ft (305 m), each utilizing a different installation concept. Relationships between these concepts and the capacities of available equipment are explored. Future developments in depths greatly exceeding 1,000 ft will utilize compliant structural concepts requiring radically different installation procedures and more sophisticated equipment.

F200. Diving, underwater habitats, etc. 83:3564 Fredj, Gaston, Philippe Roy and Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre (eds.), 1982. [Scientific diving. Meeting, 21-22 January 1982, Nice, France.] Bull. Inst. oc~anogr., Monaco, (Spec.no.)3:201pp. (In French.) A broad perspective on scientific diving is offered in this special bulletin which ranges from historical penetrations of the oceans to modern techniques of underwater surveys, sample collecting on the seabed, and high-pressure physiological experimentation. There are 2 papers on diving accidents (prevention and emergency treatment), and 1 each on French marine parks, regulating scientific diving, and 'submerged cities and habitation sites on the continental shelf during the last 50,000 yr.' Includes author and subject indexes. (ihz)

Risk assessment in a federal regulatory agency: an assessment of risk associated with the human consumption of some species of fish contaminated with polychiorinated blphenyls (PCB's). Environ. Hlth Perspect., 45:171-182. The human epidemiology and animal toxicity of PCB exposure are reviewed, as is risk assessment in general. Specific examples are presented of risk assessment involving extrapolation of animal data to humans, based on several levels of human exposure

A critique on Indian Ocean fisheries development. Ocean Mgmt, 8(2):97-123. Problems and prospects of Indian Ocean fisheries development are analyzed critically in light of two major regional problems: economic 'backwardness' and malnutrition. 'Development prospects and needs are indicated for the nine geographical/ecological provinces extending from East Africa to Western Australia,' and the present status of the region's fisheries is examined. Growth prospects will depend upon massive international cooperation and assistance. Central Inst. of Fish. Education, Versova, Bombay 400 061, India.
