✦ Synopsis

Benthic studies were undertaken in two mangrove-lagoons on the south coast of Cuba. Both lagoons are approximately 30-50 cm deep and the tidal range is 16-20 cm. There is little influx of fresh water, and the lagoons are normally euhaline. Most of the lagoon bott on1 is not colonized by plants, although filamentous algae (Cladophora and Enterorno@ spp.) and Tlcalaseia testudium grow in a few places. Meiobcnthic organisms account for 92 O/o of the invertebrates in the benthic zone of the lagoon. The five most common taxa

The development of a heavy phytoplankton bloom (chl. a=36@ mg/ma), which occurred in the summer 1983 in a shallow reservoir, Divor, is described. The study shows that remobilization of phosphate from the sediment was initiating the phytoplankton bloom. This was confirmed not only by calculations of
