Volume ingestion rates were an asymptotic func- tion of food (phytoplankton) concentration, with maximum ingestion rates at concentrations exceeding 5 to 10 x 10 ~ #m ~/mL (less than that in natural waters). Maximum volume ingestion rates increased linearly by a factor of 3.5 as the most abundant food particle size increased from 5 #m (microflagellates) to 30 #m (diatoms).

Bottom photographs and submersible observations enabled the study of swimming, reproductive ac- tivity and feeding habits of deep-sea echinoderms, with emphasis on the elasipodid holothurians. Selective detrital feeding was common, coupled with occasional opportunistic scavenging; about half of the elasipodids appeared capable of
prolonged swimming motion. Echinoid aggregation was related to feeding activity and possibly to reproduction (the cidaroids); numerous asteroids and ophiuroids were observed to raise their arms and feed upon abyssal plankton.

Average duration of the phyllosoma planktonic stage appeared to be 9-11 months; most were transported well offshore after hatching, signifi- cant numbers present as far offshore as 1500 kin. Greatest abundance was due west of the center of adult coastal distribution 375-1030 km offshore. Water circulation effects on larval transport are discussed.

form in benthic salt -marsh Foraminifera. J. [oram. Res., 10(2): 129-135.
No correlation was found between morphological parameters of test form and position along an elevational (tidal) gradient in a salt marsh near Halifax, Nova Scotia. Thus, instead of reflecting adaptation to physical features of the environ- ment, test form may reflect adaptation for use of species-competitive resources. Diversity of test form and distribution of species therefore may be determined by competition. Implications for the use of Foraminifera as indicators of paleoen- vironments are discussed.
