and June were found to vary with depth and coincide with the hydrographic ring structure. Observed increases in total biomass were accompanied by changes in trophic structure (relative numbers of small herbivores, large herbivores, and carnivores), which was attributed to influx of Slope Water species.

Analysis of a model system with both competition and commensalism. Mar. Ecol.-Prog. Ser., 25(1): 23-30. Both a mathematical model and an experimental system were utilized in an attempt to clarify the interplay between algae, algal extracellular organic carbon (EOC), bacteria (which consume EOC), and the level of mineral nutrients. Under conditions of nutrient limitation but mineral carbon and light excess, it appeared that much of the primary production was consumed by microbes, resulting in a shift to a higher heterotroph/autotroph biomass ratio.

McDermid, 1985.3he role of reabsorption in the spectral distribution of phytoplankton fluorescence emission. Deep-Sea Res., 32(8):983-1003. A theoretical model accounts for both the absorption of the primary excitation and the modification of the fluorescence through the reabsorption of the emitted light by the chloroplast and surrounding medium. Comparisons are made between model results and data derived from experiments using a number of different phytoplankton species, each adapted to varying light conditions. Consequences of model interpretations on the spectral distribution of the fluorescence emission are examined. Jet Propulsion Lab., Calif.

Many of the 106 species identified from the upper I000 m were mesopelagic with copepods the most numerous species; Oncaea curvata comprised onehalf the zooplankton population. Three copepod species dominated zooplankton biomass (74%). Dominant species had broad vertical distributions both night and day.

Fish. aquat. Sci., 42(6): 1216-1221. In the estuary, mean flow decreased by over 90% and the semidiurnal tidal amplitude increased significantly over a 5-d period. The most dramatic event was a major phytoplankton bloom in the river mouth, during a 10-d period of higher water column stability; the cells then remained and bloomed in the thin photic layer.
