| Notes | Studied population dynamics, particularly phytoplankton succession during a diatom bloom in Yaquina Bay. Drew samples from the dock at the Marine Science Center at five depths and incubated the samples on site. "Species-specific production rates were estimated for 22 consecutive days: 16 April to 7 May 1974. Three taxa, Chaetoceros debilis Cleve, Thalassiosira decipiens (Grun.) Jorg., and unidentified flagellates were responsible for over 65% of the community biomass and over 85% of the primary production after 20 April 1974." Doctoral dissertation. Major professor was Lawerence F. Small. |
