First observations on the planktonic larva, found in off-shore waters, of a representative of the Paraonidae (Annelida, Polychaeta). Vie Milieu, 33(1):41-48. (In French, English abstract.) Collected in the upper 200 m, this planktonic larva is described for the first time. A review of the reproductive features of the family indicates they are not homogeneous. It appears that the larvae may be that of a deep benthic species. Lab. Arago, 66650 Banyuls-sur-Mer, France. (ahm) 84:6185 Bienfang, P.K., J.P. Szyper, M.Y. Okamoto and E.K. Noda, 1984.

phytoplankton in a subtropical ecosystem. Limnol. Oceanogr., 29(3):527-539. Chlorophyll and pheopigment off the leeward coast of Oahu, Hawaii, varied significantly with time; ATP and productivity varied with both time and space. Most (60-80%) of the microbial biomass occurred in the < 3 /xm fraction. Pigment profiles showed distinct maxima at 90 m. Annual primary production was ~60.4 g C m -2 yr~; low nutrient levels and P:B ratios indicated nutrient limitation. Dissimilar inflection depths for nitrate, phosphate, and silicate indicated nitrate availability and phosphate limitation in the lower photic zone. Variations in vertical nutrient supply, related to differences in current shear, caused pronounced temporal variation in productivity, especially below 44 m.

Acclimated reproduction rates of the isolates were measured in 6 salinities ranging 0-45 ppt. Estuarine species tolerated low salinity better than oceanic species, coastal species being intermediate in their tolerance. Estuarine and oceanic species had salinity tolerances appropriate for their environments, but most of the coastal species tolerated salinity much lower than that from which they were isolated.
