The sampling site of strong wave action had more biomass, more individuals, and more species than the site of weak wave action. This may he attributed to sand, mud and detritus deposits at the latter site. Appendix lists 187 species. Marine Biological Station, Tohoku University, Asamushi, Aomori 039-34, Japan. (sir)
Possible relationships among temperature, oxygen, oceanic fronts, upwetling, the Peru-Chile Undercurrent and the distribution of anchovies off Peru and Chile are discussed. Oxygen seems primarily important in seasonal biomass fluctuations while temperature might be responsible for high summer abundances. Anchovy biology is extensively reviewed. Includes ca. 130 references, lnstituto De Fomento Pesquero, Santiago, Chile. (izs)

The Minas Basin intertidal fiats (which support highly productive, low diversity assemblages of benthic invertebrates that are preyed upon by various stages of commercially important fish) were scoured of surface sediment during Hurricane Beulah and a severe storm in summer, 1975. The resultant high mortality of shallow-burrowing organisms is hard to reconcile with the demonstrated high secondary productivity of the flats; extensive lateral migration of the organisms may assist recovery.

Vie Milieu, Suppl. 22: 557-571. This study attempts to discover interrelationships among infauna, seston, and sediment in a finegrained, subtidal environment in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. Gravimetric analyses of organic and inorganic components of sediment aggregates coupled with microscopic evidence suggest that bottom sediments make a significant contribution to the suspended particulate load of the overlying water and that a large portion of this resuspended material consists of fecal pellets of deposit feeding invertebrates, lnfaunal feeding probably causes a rapid overturn of sediment and a rapid recycling of organic matter.
