The Electronic Recording of Plankton Organisms.
Abstract
A brief summary is given of studies which were conducted on the behavior of dinoflagellates (Gyrodinium) at salinity interfaces. The cell readily crosses a salinity differential of 5% against gravity, but the tendency to cross decreases as difference increases. Even the most marked salinity difference (20%) appears to be no barrier to crossing with gravity, although when the cell moves across a difference higher than 15% it may be inactivated in such a way as to be 'trapped' just below the interface.
