BIOLOGICAL STUDIES 



The abundance of shallow and (in some seasons) deep-water 

 fauna and flora around the tower offers an ideal opportunity for 

 systematic investigation of biological organisms related to under- 

 sea problems. 



Studies of marine plants and animals living on and adjacent 

 to the tower cover a wide range, from fouling to feeding habits. 

 The examples presented here are concerned with plankton and its 

 effect on water turbidity, and with the vertical and horizontal 

 distribution of fish that reflect acoustic waves.
