This report states that after October 

 15, 1957, spraying of copper sulfate 

 crystals was discontinued and control 

 measures consisted of suspending bags 

 of copper sulfate off bridges, etc. in 27 

 passes between Clearwater and Naples.

In his letter (written in December 

 1878) to Spencer F. Baird, hedescribed 

 a second occurrence (see Jefferson et 

 al., 1879) of a large body of dark- 

 colored water moving southward along 

 the Florida coast, across Florida Bay, 

 and striking the Tortugas about Novenn- 

 ber 20, 1878 and extending up the reef 

 as far as Key West, probably farther. 



He mentioned that oysters in Tampa 

 Bay were killed by the water. He also 

 reported that in October the Caloosa- 

 hatchee River overflowed its banks 

 along its entire length, except at a bluff 

 in Fort Myers.

". . . On the 9th instant [October 

 1878], the sailing-vessel which con- 

 nects us with Key West met water of a 

 dark color about midway between here 

 [Dry Tortugas] and there, but saw no 

 dead fish. On her return, on the night 

 of the 11th, she struck it off Rebecca 

 Shoals, about 25 miles east of here, 

 and found it extending some 10 miles 

 out in the Gulf. That same night it came 

 down upon us here, and the next morning 

 the beach and surface of the water, as 

 far as the eye could reach, were cov- 

 ered with dead fish, . . . Fronn the fact 

 that almost all the fish that first came 

 ashore were small and of such varieties 

 as frequent shoal water, I infer that the 

 dark water must have been of less 

 density than the sea. . . . The destruc- 



tion must have been very great, for 

 here, on a key containing but a few 

 acres, and with a very limited extent 

 of beach, we have buried at least 

 twenty cart-loads, , , ." [p, 244.] 



The letters also alluded to fish dying 

 in Florida Bay and to death of almost 

 all the conchs around the Dry Tortugas.

 1948. Unusual phosphorus concentrations 

 in the Florida "red tide" sea water. 

 J. Mar. Res. 7(1):17-21. 



Several sea water samples were taken 

 in July and August 1947, preserved with 

 chloroform, and shipped to Woods Hole 

 for analysis. Their phosphorus values 

 include the organic phosphorus com- 

 bined in particulate matter and plankton, 

 the organic phosphorus in solution, and 

 inorganic phosphate-phosphorus. 



High total phosphorus values were 

 obtained in the samples containing heavy 

 blooms of red tide. The only way the 

 authors could account for the high con- 

 centration was by assuming that the 

 organisms were able to accumulate the 

 phosphorus from the entire water col- 

 umn.

"If a phytoplankton population is as- 

 sumed to be increasing logarithmically 

 in a mass of water surrounded by water 

 which is unsuitable for the survival of 

 the population, it can be shown that 

 there is a minimum critical size for 

 the water mass below which no increase 

 in concentration of phytoplankton can 

 occur, . , . [p, 141.]

 lation in a finite region can support
