Abstract
INVESTIGATIONS on the ecology of plankton in the North Sea and the relationships between the plankton and the fisheries have been made now for some years at the Department of Zoology and Oceanography at University College, Hull, under the direction of Prof. A. C. Hardy. The results of some of this work have been published elsewhere, but recently Prof. Hardy has started a new periodical for oceanographical investigations undertaken by the Department. This is entitled the Hull Bulletins of Marine Ecology, of which Nos. 1 and 2 of vol. 1 appeared in November 1939 and vol. 1, No. 3 in March 1940. The publications to date are concerned with research with the continuous plankton recorder. No. 1, which is by Prof. Hardy, contains an account of the ingenious recording machine and the method of working it, together with a summary of the plan and scope of the survey made with the instrument. A number of collecting lines have been run across the North Sea at regular intervals of time, and No. 2 of the Hull Bulletins contains a list of records made from 1932 until 1937.
