Marine Biology

Аннотация

Analyzes critically Naval Arctic Research Laboratory studies of the continental shelf organisms, beginning 1948, and those of the deep basin plankton and bottom organisms, beginning 1952. Because of many factors, the scope of work has been limited and mainly devoted to inventory taking. What remains to be done is noted with specific suggestions for future development; systematics, microscopy, ecology and animal behavior, embryology and life cycles, physiology and biochemistry of marine forms, and study of marine fishes and mammals on the shelf are treated in turn.
