Description:
The report summarizes results of aquatic research conducted by the Environmental Research Laboratory, Gulf Breeze, Florida, Office of Research and Development. The research program examines the impact of pesticides and other organic compounds on marine species and communities, and seeks to develop new methodology for determining ecological hazards of chemical substances under simulated natural conditions. Projects are outlined under four categories: research related to toxicological testing; biological processes and effects; development of offshore oil resources; and Kepone in the marine environment. Investigations conducted at the laboratory's Atlantic Coast field station at Bears Bluff, South Carolina, are also reviewed for the year 1977.
