In this book, the papers are arranged in five sections on marine. terrestrial +freshwater nutrient cycles and the corresponding food webs. There is a special sect,ion on int.eractions between marine, freshwater, and terrestrial syst,ems. R. J. LAWS nrote the "Summary and Conclusion", pointing out t.hat the diverse contribut,ions t o t,he symposium led "t.o many productive interactions between and within disciplines."
Laws arranged his rcport on ecosystems in the following categories: physical factors, ire-ussociiited algae, phytoplankton and microplankt,on, benthos (which a t the symposium received litkle at,tention), zooplankton, high levels, inhnd wat.ers. "A major gap in marine studies is in wint.er, which may be the key t o understanding Krill and other zooplankton population ecology; year-round investigations and studies within the pack-ice zone are urgently needed. Also gear t o year fluctuations in Krill larval abundance, a.nd in the distribut,ion of adult Brill are of consider-
