The constancy of weight-specific production over the entire size range of E. pacifica was investigated, using both direct (summing growth, molting and reproduction) and indirect ('assimilation minus metabolism and leakage') measures of production. Production was determined in terms of both C and N at 8 ° and 12°C. Complete C and N budgets were constructed at both temperatures; efficiencies of assimilation, C net growth and cumulative net production were calculated. Measured and predicted ingestions were compared to test budget accuracy. Mar. Sci. Inst., Univ. of Calif., Santa Barbara, Calif. 93106, USA. (mjj) 82:6266 Shih, Chang-Tai and Nell Stallard, 1982.

There is a discontinuity between samples from different latitudes as regards abundance and number of species of Acantharia. The latitude at which the abundance difference occurs varies, in accord with previously-noted differences in primary production, phytoplankton, and mesopelagic fishes, thus suggesting a relationship with thermal fronts.

On vertical distribution of tintinnines (Ciliata, Oligotrichida, Tintlnniaa) in the open waters of the south Adriatic. Mar. Biol., 68(1):83-90.
A one-year program yielded 72 tintinnine species in hauls from 7 different depths. Six dominant species accounted for 30-93% of the total numerical abundance. Over 90% of the tintinnine population inhabited the surface 100 m; species occurring in deeper waters were rarely or never found near the surface. The Biol. Inst., YU-50001 Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia.

Water turbulence was measured before and after passing through the latticework structure of branches of the bushy red alga G. nudifrons. Turbulence was reduced by passage through the plant's structure, but above a critical velocity (6-12 cm/s) microturbulence was generated. Microturbulence may influence nutrient uptake and gas
