Proceedings of the Conference on Marine Biology in Environmental Protection Held at San Clemente Island, California, on 13-15 November 1973.

Abstract

Following opening remarks prepared by the Oceanographer of the Navy short presentations were made on the following topics: The fouling community as a field monitoring technique; problems and techniques of marine biology in the field; systematic analysis of field survey techniques; the systems concept and pollution control; and the need for more intercomparable field data and widely applicable, short-term survey techniques. Papers were also presented on the following topics: Biological consideration of a bioassay system; a reliable algal assay procedure based on pH measurements; the sublethal effects of pollutants on polychaetous annelids; byssal thread production as a toxicity test; the activities of enzymes as pollution indicators.
