The nature of the bioluminescence of Gonyaulax catenella is
similar to that observed for other dinoflagellates in culture, showing
photoperiod-entrained rhythms of luminescence and stimulability
with relatively constant luminescent capacity during scotophase. G.
catenella is very sensitive to stimulation and photoinbibition. The
nature of the response to stimulation by bubbling...
During the six-month period of July through December, 1966,
a study of animals inhabiting laminarian holdfasts in Yaquina Bay,
Oregon, was carried out to determine what animals live in this habitat
and to gain some idea of the factors which influence their presence
and distribution. This study deals with yet...
The purposes of this investigation were to measure the relative
levels of enzymatic and respiratory metabolism of some vertically
migrating mesopelagic fishes collected from the ocean waters off
Oregon and to modify and adapt an enzyme method for use as a measure
of metabolic activity at sea with a minimum...
