graph system with automatic data logger and data trans- 

 mitter; autoanalysis of water samples for nitrate, nitrite, 

 phosphate, and silicate; chlorophyll determination by 

 tluormetry in both discrete in vitro and continuous un- 

 derway in vivo modes; multiple serial plankton samplers 

 (or Longhurst-Hardy plankton rect)rders); and ship- 

 board data processing with desk top programmable 

 computers. 



These capabilities are in addition to those designed 

 and built into the vessel; normal equipment for hydro- 

 casts and biological collecting; underwater observation 

 chambers in the bow and on the port side; physiology 

 laboratory and constant temperature culture room, both 

 with temperature controlled sea water supplies; research 

 fish-finding sonar and sounder; live bait tanks and pre- 

 cision depth recorder. 



The smaller vessel. Miss Behavior, was a Navy AVR 

 (Aviation Rescue) received on loan in U)ti4 by the Be- 

 havior Program of the then Biological Laboratory. San 

 Diego. She is an 18 m. wooden-hulled vessel with twin 

 diesels each of 380 hp. Capable of fast day-trips from 

 San Diego and extended coastal cruises, she is equipped 

 with an experimental CTFM (Continuous Transmission 



Frequency Modulated) sonar and with tanks for trans- 

 porting fish alive to the Fishery-Oceanography Center for 

 use in behavior and other studies in the aquarium. Dur- 

 ing the last year she has made coastal cruises from the 

 Gulf of California to the waters otT northern California.
