"Plankton collections have been made 

 by conventional methods and by means 

 of a high speed sampler and a newly de- 

 vised continuous sampler. The latter 

 methods are still in the experimental 

 stage but results are pronnising. 



"In comparison to areas like the Cali- 

 fornia coast or the North Atlantic, 

 plankton in the Gulf is sparse. Tows in 

 those areas produce 8 to 10 times more 

 plankton than comparable tows in the 

 Gulf. It has become evident, too, that a 

 greater abundance of plankton exists 

 over the continental shelf than exists in 

 waters beyond the shelf. A preponder- 

 ance of fish eggs and larvae also has 

 been found within the 100-fathom con- 

 tour. 



"Analyses for inorganic phosphate and 

 nitrate have been completed on a total 

 of 371 samples obtained on the first 

 three cruises. It has become evident 

 fronn these analyses that phosphate and 

 nitrate concentrations are extremely 

 low at all levels inside the 100-fathom 

 contour. In that portion of the Gulf out- 

 side the 100-fathom contour, extremely 

 low concentrations of phosphate and 

 nitrate exist in surface waters, but rise 

 steadily to a maximum between about 450 

 to 600 fathoms, below which their con- 

 centrations decrease slightly, [p. 31.] 



"Results to date lend weight to the 

 theory that, in general, waters of the 

 Gulf of Mexico beyond the 100-fathom 

 curve are relatively sterile. It may be 

 stated tentatively that the economy of 

 our fisheries is closely associated with 

 that portion of the Gulf lying inside the 

 100-fathom contour, the inshore waters, 

 and contiguous land areas. 



"Sampling over a prearranged series 

 of stations extending from the rivers to 

 the 100-fathom contour for a study of the 

 local oceanography, nutrients, and 

 plankton, has been completed. Data col- 

 lected are being analyzed. Phosphate 

 concentrations in this area are in agree- 

 ment with those found elsewhere in the 

 Gulf inside the 100-fathom contour. 



"All plankton collected during the 

 past year has been examined and data 

 have been set up on punch cards for 

 analytical studies, [p. 32.] 



"Culture studies on nutritional re- 

 quirennents of dinoflagellates and other 

 nnarine organisms have been continued 

 at the Service's Beaufort, North Caro- 

 lina, Laboratory." [p. 33.]

"Effort expended in a new laboratory 

 being set up for artificial culture of 

 marine microorganisms willbe directed 

 toward understanding nutritional and en- 

 vironmental requirements for survival 

 and multiplication of various organisms, 

 particularly dinoflagellates. Results will 

 be used in producing mass cultures to 

 determine the role of various organisms 

 in production and utilization of various 

 organic compounds which are being 

 isolated front sea water. These results 

 in turn, will be applied to studies on 

 young fish survival. 



" Red tide research. --A theory has 

 been formulated that 'red water' de- 

 pends on occurrence of isolated non- 

 mixing water masses. A study of small- 

 scale 'red waters' in some inland bays 

 and information from various other 

 sources support this hypothesis."
