tions of paraffinic and aromatic hydrocarbons in seawater 

 under both laboratory and field conditions. The uptake, metab- 

 olism, storage, and discharge of the hydrocarbons by members 

 of the food web and their passage from one trophic level to 

 the next are then studied. Field studies include the addition of 

 radioactive and nonradioactive hydrocarbons to sections of a 

 marsh and to a pelagic area enclosed in a large bag. Activities 

 include: 



1 ) Addition of various aromatic hydrocarbons, including benz- 

 pyrene, methycholanthrene. and napthalene to seawater con- 

 taining zooplankton and, after uptake from the water, observa- 

 tions of storage and/or discharge of hydrocarbons by the zoo- 

 plankton. 



2) Studies of zooplankton collected at CEPEX site and from 

 Arctic and California waters.
