BIOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND RADIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF MARINE PLANKTON. Reference No. 61-6
Progress is reported in a study of the biology. chemistry, and radiochemistry of marine plankton populations from 15 collecting stations in the Atlantic Ocean extending from Montauk Point to the vicinity of Bermuda..A list is included of 17 pubilshed papers, 6 papers accepted for publication, and 13 reports on work in progress. These publications describe in detail the progress made. A number of species of oceanic plankton algae were isolated. Nitrifying bacteria were obtained from sea water. A signifncant amount of organic phosphorus was found in sea water at depths greater thann 2000 meters. An intensive study was made of the phosphorus metabolism of unicellular algae, using /sup 32/ as a tracer. A eomparnion was made between the uptake of radiophosphorus and radiocarbon by natural phytoplankton populatons. A study was continued on the temperature and salinlty of the waters over the continental shelf. (C.H.)
