In accordance with Kolkwitz (1912), plankton is defined as the organism formation of free mater. The initial term, as defined by Hensen, was extremely broad and could even be compared to the current term seston. Modern researchers e however, view plankton as a component part] of seston... 2. Nekton s according to Haeckel (1891) embracesienerally the larger water fauna that is relatively unaffected by external influences, divide nekton into planktonekton and neustonekton. The latter includes above all the insects of the mater surface studied by Brocher. 3. In accordance with SchrUter and Kirchner (1896), pleuston means the higher floating flora of the water. 4. Neuston. Organisms belonging thereto, in accordance with E. Naumann (1917), are defined as micro—organic formations found in the surface film of the water. Neuston, of course, also embraces all in- animate bodies found 'suspended in the surface film. The introduction of these definitions of the main term seston and its component terms has been very useful for the further treatment of limnological problems. This is especially true of certain branches of applied limnology. A further study of these matters, however, will probably lead to the need for a more detailed definition of the above noted mainl •• terms. This paper May be seen as a contribution in that direction. H • . 'I. ! . i . I. SIZE CLASSES OF SESTON Initially, seston may simply be divided into the Size classes of . .megâ10—, macro—, meso—, micro— and nannotypes. These are terms which have found wide application in plankton research for some time, through the witingn SchUtt (1892) and Lehmann (1911). The lable that follows Provides. information as to the current size relationships and technical characteristics denoted by these terms. 1 %.. To these terms 1 should now like toadd \the new term ultra- seston„ which is also included in the Table. By it 1 understand that part of the seston ranging in size from a fee microns to microscopie it is characterized by the fact that with invisibility. Technically the present state of technology it cannot be quantified completely. The term ultraseston is..based pr. imarilyi on technical considerations. Its purpose is, first of all, to indicate that this size class is outside . the research possibilities of modern investigational techniques, whose Units are defined by the bacteria and the finer detritus. Partly, however, ultraseston is also composed of bodies that are genuinely ultramicroscopic, i.e.: that are situated on or beyond the borderline of direct microscopic Observation. 1 This is easily demonstrated with dark—field illumination of water samples from waters with abundant seston. however, knowle%e on the ultramicroscopic conditions of natural bodies of water is still incomplete. .1 Ultraseston is composed of a highly heterogeneous material. The following elements predominate: • .(Text cont. on page 5) gze class Characteristics Technical Data Megaloseston Minimum size several centimeters Maybe caught with coarse nets and , Eacroseston and other filters • • Mesoseston Minimum size apprOx. 500-1,000 May be caught with coarse nets and nierons.

We have as yet very few details con- cerning their h ature. This is especially true of bacteria. Although bacteriology of water has become tremendously important in' practical tezms, in theoretical terms it carries little weight. This is a disadvan- tage,'tahich results from the fact that bacteriolog<y is confined largely- -to the method of obtaining its material by concentration. ' Given Ithe present state of li.mnologg, we are.almost cer"in7y justified in characterizing ultraseston as one of.the most important factors in the total metabolism of freshwater bodies. 1 This element lof the total seston is the Unk in the total budget that represents the transition between dissolved nutrients and I the higher production of the water. It is here that the bacterial processing of expired vorganisms takes place, and it is also here that we find the source of colloidal flocculates. From this point, two paths diverge; one leads-vialthe further separation of organic substances ,1 into the realm of solutions; the other leads directly to a reincarnation in the 13.fe of the xoop:Lankton. In pure:y schematic terms, the position of ultraseston in the total spectrum of aquatic life may be represented appro^dm.ate],y as fol.l.o^rs.

As described thereiln,, the productive biol4gy of the entire zooplankton of the filtrating and sedimentatinR .type. is dependent primarily on the nanno- and ûltraseston.in the water. This is true above all for the non-predatory Cladocera, where ultrasest^on is of the greatest importance, as wexl as for Diaptomidsa and, thirdly,- for the Rotifera. The important ro1,e thus being played by ultraseston in the total metabolism of freshwater makes more detailed investigationsof this subject highly desirable. Thus far, study of ultraseston has been confined to hygieniç bacteriology. Theoretical ^ interest must now focus I on biological bacteriology and tr3.pton research in the area of ultraseston. • • . II DETAILED GROUPING OF NEUSTON The . term neuston was introduced by me for the firet time in 1917. I used it to refer to the organism formation of the surface fila of water, in distinction to plankton, which defines the organisms of free water. The term has found wide acceptance. The further differentiation of the old plankton concept resulting therefrom should contribute to a continued development of various concepts and terms in the field of theoretical and applied limnology. A grouping of this formation class within the systematics of plant sociology,which I believe is not quite. correct, has been undertaken • y Gams (1918). He compares neuston with pleuston e and even classifies thu former as a subseries of the actual pleuston e which he terms micropleuston. This, hogever, is misleading.

Cassian Edwards A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2009 1 ABSTRACT Sediment granulometry, microphytobenthos and meiobenthos were investigated at five habitats (white and grey sands, backreef border, shallow and deep thalassinid ghost shrimp mounds) within the western lagoon at Discovery Bay, Jamaica. Habitats were ordinated into discrete stations based on sediment granulometry. Microphytobenthic chlorophyll-a ranged between 9.5- and 151.7 mg m -2 and was consistently highest at the grey sand habitat over three sampling occasions, but did not differ between the remaining habitats. It is suggested that the high microphytobenthic biomass in grey sands was related to upwelling of nutrient rich water from the nearby main bay, and the release and excretion of nutrients from sediments and burrowing heart urchins, respectively. Meiofauna abundance ranged from 284- to 5344 individuals 10 cm -2 and showed spatial differences depending on taxon.

    Deep-Sea Life Issue 8, November 2016 Welcome to the eighth edition of Deep-Sea Life: an informal publication about current affairs in the world of deep-sea biology. Once again we have a wealth of contributions from our fellow colleagues to enjoy concerning their current projects, news, meetings, cruises, new publications and so on. The cruise news section is particularly well-endowed this issue which is wonderful to see, with voyages of exploration from four of our five oceans from the Arctic, spanning north east, west, mid and south Atlantic, the north-west Pacific, and the Indian Ocean. Just imagine when all those data are in OBIS via the new deep-sea node…! (see page 24 for more information on this). The photo of the issue makes me smile. Angelika Brandt from the University of Hamburg, has been at sea once more with her happy-looking team! And no wonder they look so pleased with themselves; they have collected a wonderful array of life from one of the very deepest areas of our ocean in order to figure out more about the distribution of these abyssal organisms, and the factors that may limit their distribution within this region. Read more about the mission and their goals on page 5. I always appreciate feedback regarding any aspect of the publication, so that it may be improved as we go forward. Please circulate to your colleagues and students who may have an interest in life in the deep, and have them contact me if they wish to be placed on the mailing list for this publication.

Honolulu, Hawaii 96825, USA ABSTRACT: Metazoan meiofaunal comnlunity dynamics and spring phytoplankton bloom sedimenta- tion rates were measured concurrently in Auke Bay, Alaska. from 1985 to 1988. We test the null hypothesis that recruitment and density maxima are unrelated to sedimentation events. Springtime chlorophyll a sedimentation was predictable and episodic, occurring annually at peak rates during mid- May at 35 m; carbon sed~mentationwas continuous through the spring. Cumulative sedimentation varied from year to year, ranging from lowest to highest by a factor of 2. At a 30 m station, seasonal variation in major taxon density was not identifiable, however interannual variations in meiofaunal densities &d occur No consistent relationship between meiofaunal abundances and spring chl a or carbon sedimentation was found, i.e. years with the highest or lowest nematode and harpacticoid abundances did not correspond to years with the highest or lowest values for sedimentation. Other factors must regulate the interannual variation in meiofauna, at least over the range of values for sedimentation in Auke Bay. INTRODUCTION tions may settle quickly to the bottom (Billett et al. 1983, Townsend & Canlmen 1988), and settled cells Although there have been many recent ecological may be in good physiological and nutritional condition studies of the meiobenthos (Coull & Bell 1979), most (Lenz 1977).

Cambridge CB3 OET, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The species composition, abundance, vertical distribution, biovolume and carbon content of gelatinous nekton in the Antarctic Polar Frontal Zone are described from a series of RMT25 hauls collected from a series of 200 m depth layers between 0 and 1000 m. In total. 13 species of medusa, 6 species of siphonophore, 3 species of ctenophore and 1 species of salp and nemertean were ~dentified. On average gelatinous organisms contributed 69 3% to the biovolume and 30.3% to the carbon content of the samples, although the ranges were high (0 to 98.9":) and 0 to 62 G"/;,respectively). The most important contributor to the biovolume and carbon content was the scyphomedusan Pel-iphylla peri- phylla. Some specific assoc~ationsand restricted vertlcal d~stl-ibut~ons\vcrc related to trophic interac- tions among ostracods, amphipods and cnidarians.

Introduction 1.1 State The Central Arctic Ocean and the marginal seas such as the Chukchi, East Siberian, Laptev, Kara, White, Greenland, Beaufort, and Bering Seas, Baffin Bay and the Canadian Archipelago (Figure 1) are among the least-known basins and bodies of water in the world ocean, because of their remoteness, hostile weather, and the multi-year (i.e., perennial) or seasonal ice cover. Even the well-studied Barents and Norwegian Seas are partly ice covered during winter and information during this period is sparse or lacking. The Arctic has warmed at twice the global rate, with sea- ice loss accelerating (Figure 2, ACIA, 2004; Stroeve et al., 2012, Chapter 46 in this report), especially along the coasts of Russia, Alaska, and the Canadian Archipelago (Post et al., 2013).
