KOBAYASHI of the University of California, San Diego, in May. 1978. Mr. Kobayashi in his report also acknowledged the contributions of: David Adelson Joan-Marie Oltman E. Fred Fisher Valerie Paul Steven Glass Janis Weeks Nancy Jung Mr. Kobayashi's report was prepared in fulfillment of a contract with the Cal iforriia Department of Fish and Game, which had committed itself to the Board to produce a series of ASBS Survey Reports under Interagency Agreement.

The assessment included the following character descriptions: location and size; nearshore waters and submarine topography; geophysical characteristics; climate; biota of both subtidal and intertidal habitats; landside flora; and unique biotic components. The San Diego-La Jolla Ecological Reserve ASBS is unique in its inclusion of a variety of habitats: a broad, sandy shelf; a submarine canyon; a small kelp bed; a small submerged cobble patch; reefs composed of flat sandstone/shale ledges interspersed with patches of sand; and a boulder-strewn mudstone reef complex. It thus includes organisms of a sandy substrate, clay-bank canyon inhabitants, many of the rich biota surrounding a kelp bed, and various other rocky-reef fauna and flora. Further, the submerged cobble patch is a proven archaeological site from which more than 2000 artifacts believed to have belonged to the La Jollan culture, ca. 5000-7000 years before the present, have been recovered. Sailing, water-skiing on glassy calm days, snorkeling, SCUBA diving, surfing, body surfing, and jet-skiing are some of the water-use recre- ational activities that occur within the Reserve; sportfishing and commercial fishing, as well as whale-watching, occur in waters immedi- ately adjacent to the Ecological Reserve. There appear to be no actual pollution threats other than ston water runoff with its heavy silt concentration. The biotic effects of the periodic infrequent influx of fresh-water and silt along an open- water coastline are not adequately known and could be the subject of intense interest. The major impact from runoff should be expected in the vicinity of the head of La Jolla branch of the submarine canyon inasmuch as a large storni drain empties out just adjacent to the boat 1aunch. A conclusion of the survey is that consideration should be given to development of a program of periodic but regular monitoring of the San Diego-La Jolla Ecological Reserve Area of Special Biological Signif- icance. The status of protection of this designated area can be deter- mined only through such continuing surveys.

    A PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE LEATHER STAR, Dermasterias imbricata, AND THE PURPLE URCHIN, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus RICHARD J. ROSENTHAL! AND JAMES R. CHESS· ABSTRACT During 1969 and 1970, we spent more than 150 hr underwater observing interaction between the leather star, D. imb1'icata and the purple sea urchin, S. purpuratus. '1'he majority of the observations were made in shallow (13-15 m) nearshore waters off Pt. Lorna, Calif. The defensive responses exhibited by the purple sea urchin when contacted by the leather star indicated the presence of a well-developed predator-prey relationship. The responses included retraction of sea urchin podia, depression of spines, gaping and erection of globiferous pedicellariae, and usually move­ ment away from the asteroid. Within the study area off Pt. Lorna, 437 feeding leather stars were encountered underwater, and of these, 204 or 47% were eating S. l)Urpuratu~. In contrast, previously published observations by Mauzey, Birkeland, and Dayton (1968) on the feeding behavior of asteroids off the state of Washington indicated that echinoids were excluded from the diet of D. imll1'icata. We suggest that (1) prey density and avail­ ability, (2) search time, (3) taste or gustatory preferences of the sea star, and (4) some form of asso­ ciative learning by the leather star may be responsible for the variation in the feeding behavior of D. imbricata in different areas. Early laboratory studies by Prouho (1890) and Pycnopodia hel-ianthoides feeding on sea urchins Jennings (1907) described the behavioral re­ both intertidally and subtidally along the shores sponses of sea urchins when encountered by of Washington state.
