✦ Synopsis

I. I n t r o d u c t i o n

I n continuation of the work published in 1967 (IWAMURA et al.), planktonic organisms cultured in the laboratory (Chlorelb and Phaeodactylum) as well as those collected from natural waters were analyzed for their contents of chlorophyll, protein, RNA and DNA in the hope of establishing new methods of measuring planktonic populations in natural waters. Some improvements were made in the assay techniques, but, despite our efforts, the procedures could not l) This work was supported b y a part of the Special Project Research Fund (for "Studies on the dynamic status of biosphere") granted from the Ministry of Education to our research group, headed by Prof. HIROSHI TAMIYA. 9.
