Movement of Zooplankton in Diatom Gradients
Abstract
Hardy and Gunther1 and Harvey et al.2 have proposed somewhat opposing hypotheses in explanation of a phenomenon widely observed in the sea, namely, an inverse correlation in catches of zooplankton and phytoplankton. Hardy's hypothesis, that of ``animal exclusion'', is supported in some degree by the experimental work of Lucas3; and Harvey's, of the ``grazing effect of zooplankton'', by various observations on rates of feeding, and statistically by Fleming4 and others.
