NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
ADVANCED PROBLEMS IN MARINE SCIENCE STAFF 
Supervised research projects selected to suit the needs 
of the graduate student. Projects to be chosen in eon- 
sultation with the student's major professor and the Dean 
of the School, Acceptable research outlines and project 
reports are required. Training in specific areas such as 
marine parasitology, epidemiology and pathology of marine 
organisms, marine productivity, physiology of algae, ex- 
perimental design, and other subjects which staff members 
are qualified to teach is also offered. 
EMBRYOLOGY AND ANATOMY OF MARINE INVERTE- BLACK 
BRATES 
The comparative embryology and adult anatomy of local 
representatives of all major phyla will be considered. 
Emphasis will be placed on the evolutionary relationships 
between groups. Experiments to illustrate possible mechanisms 
of fertilization, cleavage and organ differentiation will 
be performed, 
RADIOBIOLOGY BREHMER 
A study of the principles of tracer techniques, procedures 
for radio-assay, limitations of tracer methodology, hazards, 
safe handling pwocedures with particular emphasis on the use 
of isotopes in marine research. 
BIOLOGY OF PLANKTON STAFF 
The structure and dynamics of estuarine plankton communities, 
with emphasis on the local biota; classification, morphology 
and ecology of major constituents; planktological methods. 
MARINE MICROBIOLOGY WOOD, STAFF 
Morphology, physiology, ecology, taxonomy, methods of isola- 
tion, cultivation and identification of aquatic microoganisms 
with emphasis on those from the marine environment. 
PHYSIOLOGY OF MARINE ORGANISMS BLACK 
Major physiological processes will be considered. Special 
attention will be given to those processes in which evolu- 
tionary trends are apparent.
