✦ Synopsis

Abstract

In the habitat temperature, northern cold planktonic species seem more resistant to pressure than related southern warm species. Generally, a prolonged “hyperactivity phase” was recognized between moderate and high hyperbaric levels in most planktonic species. Descriptions of reactions of various planktonic species to increasing pressure are given with reference to stimulated activity (R~1~), onset of tetany (T), and inactivity (I). On the basis of LD~50~ levels, the 16 planktonic species show high, moderate, low or extremely low tolerance to one hour stress conditions of high hydrostatic pressure.
