Copepod Indicator Species in Estuaries

Abstract

onization in marine communities. The Kapoho Flow and its numerous environmental conditions will provide the ecologist with much of this information. The changes in the biological environment are being studied with emphasis on the correlation and interactions with the biological, physical, and chemical environmental factors. The proximity of other dated lava flows having wellestablished faunas makes this an ideal natural environmental laboratory. The dominant organisms, as of 1960, are listed in Table I.
