cnidarians. These are abundant in the plankton. 

 In addition, effects of 1) larval density, 2) alter- 

 nate prey in mixed planktonic assemblages, and 

 3) effects of starvation on larval vulnerability 

 to predation could be studied. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



This work was completed while I was an NRC/ 

 NOAA Research Associate on leave from The Uni- 

 versity of Michigan. I wish to thank J. R. Hunter 

 and R. Lasker for their hospitality and support. 

 The Schlieren System was built by J. H. Taylor 

 with partial support from a grant from the Na- 

 tional Science Foundation (Grant No. DES75- 

 04863) to R. Lasker and J. H. Taylor. Clown fish 

 were provided by R. S. Keyes from Sea World, San 

 Diego. I thank L. M. Dill, J. R. Hunter, R. Lasker, 

 and P. Smith for their comments on the manu- 

 script, and J. R. Zweifel for help in the statistical 

 analysis.
