摘要

This report consists of several summaries of the research conducted since our last progress report. These summaries include manuscripts submitted for publication on these topics: (1) seasonal changes in soft-body component indices and energy reserves in the Atlantic deep-sea scallops; and (2) direct determination of barium in seawater and seawater suspensions of drilling fluids by plasma emission spectrometry. There is also a summary of turbidity-induced effects on algal consumption and digestion in Spisula solidissima. (ERA citation 07:009099)
