    Notes: Abstract An effect of the very patchy distribution of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) in various forms of aggregation is that a single swarm may not provide an unbiased estimate of population parameters such as mean length of krill in the local area. Here, we analyse the number of samples required to estimate the characteristics of a local population as precisely as if there were no differences between krill swarms in terms of their biological composition. Krill were intensively sampled over different spatial and temporal scales around South Georgia in 1981 and 1982, and in the Bransfield Strait in 1985. These varied from replicate hauls at a single station over 24 h and repeat sampling in restricted areas over periods of 6 to 14 d to regional surveys around South Georgia and in the Bransfield Strait. Various biological characteristics were measured such as length, maturity, moult stage and feeding state. Depending upon the biological characteristic examined and the area covered by the sampling programme, the number of samples needed to obtain the same degree of precision as would be found in the absence of heterogeneity varied from 3 to 〉 80 samples. This has important implications for the design of net-sampling programme for monitoring krill populations.

    Notes: Abstract In a 14-d period 38 swarms of Antarctic krill,Euphausia superba Dana, were sampled in an area 55.5 x 55.5 km to the southwest of Elephant Island, at the north of the South Shetland Islands. Moult stage, maturity stage, and size of ca. 100 krill from each swarm were measured. Each of the characteristics varied greatly between swarms. Moulting krill were found in most swarms, but in one swarm all of the krill were just about to moult. Ways in which moulting may act as a possible sorting mechanism are discussed. Data for all the analysed krill (ca. 3000 specimens) were used to investigate the interdependence of moult rate, sexual maturation and growth. While all immature krill moulted at approximately the saine rate in the study, there were significant differences in the moulting rates of mature male and female krill. Gravid female krill continued to moult, although less frequently than mature males. As a consequence males had to attach spermatophores to females after each moult. It is likely that variation in moult rate of females and males was related to the energy expenditure required for ovary development in females and spermatophore production and searching behaviour in males. Spawning and moulting were only partly coupled in gravid females. Spawning appeared to take place predominantly during Moult Stage D2. There was no evidence of intermoult growth by intersegmental dilation.

    Notes: [Auszug] When 2-ml. volumes of two saline solutions containing 6 per cent dextran and 1 -45 per cent fibrinogen were mixed at 22 C, the formation of a bulky floccu-lent precipitate was observed. Analysis showed that the precipitate contained 13 per cent of the available fibrinogen. Precipitation occurred ...

    Notes: [Auszug] In the course of a recent investigation1, it was observed that the dextran recovered from the urine of patients transfused with dextran had a lower intrinsic viscosity, and hence a lower average molecular weight, than that of the dextran which had been given intravenously. One case received a ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The method involved mixing known concentrations of dextran in 0.9 per cent sodium chloride with fresh defibrinated human blood from normal volunteers. The final concentration of red blood corpuscles in the mixtures was maintained at definite values, in these experiments corresponding to a ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Three phosphate esters commonly formed from D-glucose-6-phosphate in living cells are D-fructose-6-phosphate, r〉-glucose-1 -phosphate and D-gluconate-6-phosphate. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate cannot, for obvious structural reasons, be converted to a product corresponding to D-fructose-6-phosphate, ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The renal excretion of these dextrans was measured in rabbits (Table 2). The greater part of the dextran was excreted on the first day, less than 3 per cent on the second and less than 1 per cent on the third day. Two, three or four rabbits were used for each determination and the daily results ...

    Notes: [Auszug] MACROMOLECULES labelled with radioactive isotopes have several potential uses. Two applications of interest in biological research are firstly for measuring in vivo the permeability of membranes to solute molecules of various sizes and secondly to serve as standards in the comparison of samples of ...

    Notes: [Auszug] This was done as follows : inulin (5 gm.) in 50 ml. water was stirred under a reflux condenser, and allyl bromide (0-5gm.) in 3-5 ml. methyl ethyl ketone was slowly added to produce a fine emulsion. The temperature was raised to 65-70° C. and 10-4 ml. N sodium hydroxide solution was added gradually ...

    Notes: [Auszug] The renal excretion of these dextrans in rabbits is shown iri Table 2. Two rabbits were used for each determination (1965) and the daily results averaged; Table 2 shows totals for 3 days after injection. After 5 years storage there appeared to have been an increase in the renal excretion of dexti ...
