Abstract
GROWTH in marine animals is little understood and offers problems of paramount ecological importance. In the majority of cases, however, considerable difficulties are encountered, partly because of the paucity of material in some cases, and partly because of the difficulty of weighing the animals. To overcome these difficulties a method—the principle of which is given here—is being developed, and it is hoped that problems of growth will thereby be greatly facilitated. So far as I could ascertain its use for such purposes has not been recorded before.
