The geographical distribution and seasonal cycles of decapod crustacean larvae and pelagic postqarvae in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea, 1981-3. J. mar. biol. Ass. U.K., 67(1):145-167. Analyses of the distributions of 36 common taxa identified groupings which could be related to depth and temperature. The seasonal occurrences of planktonic larvae of benthic taxa correlated with sea-bottom temperature in the winter as well as parameters of the SST. Possible interpretations are discussed. Nat.

Set., 36(2): 107-114. Copepods from Bedford Basin (Nova Scotia), mainly Pseudocalanus spp. and Temora longicornis, were fed different concentrations of the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii. The feeding response of copepods to day-to-day changes in food concentrations involved adjustments of ingestion rate in <24 h; diel differences in ingestion rate were found in copepods acclimated to high food concentration but not in those acclimated to low food concentration. C and N content of faecal pellets was independent of food concentration, acclimation period to a given food concentration, and ingestion rates; a higher C:N ratio in faecal pellets than in the food suggested that N was assimilated more efficiently than C.

A first record of daytime surface swarming by Euphausia lucens in the southern Benguela region. Mar. Biol., 940):7-10. On 9 October 1985 a daytime surface swarm of the euphausiid Euphausia lucens was observed and sampled in St. Helena Bay in the southern Benguela region. The swarm was monospecific, consisted of adults in pre-breeding condition and appeared to be feeding on detrital material. The swarm covered an estimated 46 ha, densities within it ranged .4150 × i04 individuals per m 3 and the swarm was estimated to contain ~5000 tonnes of euphausiids. No simple explanation for the presence of the swarm was apparent, lOl Edgeway Rd., Marston, Oxford OX30HF, UK. 87:5211 Ren, Xianqiu, 1986. Studies on Chinese Cirripedia (Crnstacea). VII.
