    Notes: Abstract The relationship between the rates of oxygen consumption, ammonia and phosphate excretion of a pelagic tunicate, the larvacean Oikopleura dioica Fol, 1872 were assessed as a function of size, dry weight and ash-free dry weight at 15°, 20° and 24°C. O. dioica has higher respiration and excretion rates than copepods of similar weight, but the weight exponent of the allometric power function: Y=aX b is similar to that of other poikilotherms. Temperatures above 20°C have a depressing effect on respiration and ammonia excretion. 90% of the variance in metabolic rates is explainable by body mass and temperatures Q10 values for oxygen consumption, ammonia and phosphate excretion, respectively, are 2.45, 1.86 and 1.75 between 15° and 20°C, and 3.75, 2.90 and 3.60 between 20° and 24°C. Metabolic quotients (O:N, O:P, N:P) indicate a protein-oriented diet. The results of this study suggest weak metabolic regulation in O. dioica, an energetic strategy which allows an immediate response to favourable changes in feeding conditions.

    Notes: Abstract By means of daily plankton hauls during the winter of 1971–1972, the mean generation time of Fritillaria pellucida (Busch, 1851), its stages of sexual maturity and their duration were established. Increases in size and weight with time and also both absolute and specific growth increments were determined. By means of data on population dynamics, an evaluation of the mean production, per cubic meter, was also made.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé 1. Les appendiculaires provenant de 140 prélèvements effectués pendant 9 mois, durant le cours d'une année, dans la région nord-Adriatique ont été examinés. 10 espèces seulement ont été déterminées mais 67 individus ont été dénombrés au mètre cube. 2. Trois espèces, Oikopleura dioica, O. longicauda et O. fusiformis représentent plus de 95% des individus récoltés. 3. La densité de la population montre un gradient général décroissant d'ouest en est, qui a pu être mis en parallèle avec l'influence des apports du Pô. 4. Les variations saisonnières des trois espèces principales ont été étudiées. Elles ont montré que le gradient d'ouest en est se retrouve d'une façon plus ou moins nette durant toutes les saisons pour O. dioica. Pour O. longicauda et O. fusiformis il est présent seulement en été et inversé pendant les autres saisons. 5. L'ensemble des caractères de la région, en particulier la faible profondeur, ainsi que les apports d'eau douce par le Pô, sont très favorables à O. dioica. Cet état de fait semble conditionner en premier lieu les variations qualitatives et quantitatives de la population des appendiculaires.
    Notes: Abstract Appendicularians from 140 hauls made in the north Adriatic area, over a period of 9 months, have been examined. A high population density, with 67 specimens per cubic meter and a low specific diversity with 10 species is described. Three species: Oikopleura dioica, O. longicauda and O. fusiformis represent more than 95% of the specimens collected. The presence of a West-East gradient in the population density is shown, along with a correlation with the influence of the Pô inflow. A study of the seasonal variations of the three main species shows that all the characteristics of the Western region are very favourable to O. dioica. This fact seems to be the clue to the qualitative and quantitative variations of the appendicularian population in this area.

    Notes: Abstract The present paper shows how our knowledge concerning the appendicularians from the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf has evolved. The different historical steps and their relative importance are discussed, and the contributions, either direct or indirect, of the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) are emphasized.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé 1. Les Appendiculaires provenant de 76 stations effectuées de juin à août 1964 dans le golfe du Bengale, à bord du navire «Kistna», ont été examinés. 26 espèces ont été déterminées. 10 sont nouvelles pour le golfe du Bengale et, parmi celles-ci, 2 étaient inconnues dans l'océan Indien. 2. La composition du groupe formé par les espèces les plus abondantes et les plus fréquentes est caractéristique de la faune de l'océan Indien. Oikopleura longicauda représente 50% du nombre total des individus récoltés, elle est suivie par Oikopleura rufescens 14%. Megalocercus huxleyi 8%, Oikopleura fusiformis et Fritillaria borealis f. sargassi 6%, Oikopleura cophocerca et Stegosoma magnum 2%. Aucune autre espèce n'atteint 1%. 3. La densité des espèces dans la partie occidentale décroît assez régulièrement avec la latitude, 21 espèces dans le sud, puis en remontant vers le nord: 14, 11 et 2. Le fond du détroit de Malacca est pauvre en espèce: 5, alors que son débouché dans le golfe du Bengale est plus riche: 18. Les Oikopleuridae sont présentes dans tous les prélèvements mais les Fritillaridae sont absentes dans 25 pêches, principalement dans la partie centrale et nord. 4. La répartition de chaque espèce a été étudiée. Oikopleura longicauda est la seule qui soit nettement plus abondante dans le nord. La plupart des autres espèces montrent un gradient décroissant du sud vers le nord. 5. Les données hydrologiques (température et salinité) ne nous ont pas permis d'établir des zones bien différenciées entre le sud et le nord. Il semble done que les espèces autochtones soient peu nombreuses; les autres proviendraient de l'océan Indien, portées par les courants de direction sud-nord qui existent à cette période de l'année.
    Notes: Abstract Appendicularians from 76 hauls made from June to August 1964 in the Bay of Bengal, aboard the R. V. “Kistna”, have been examined. Of the 26 species determined, 10 are new for the Bay of Bengal and, amongst these, 2 were unknown in the Indian Ocean. The composition of the group formed by the most abundant and most frequent species is characteristic of the fauna of the Indian Ocean. Oikopleura longicauda represents 50% of the total number of individuals collected, followed by O. rujescens 14%, Megalocerus huxleyi 8%, O. fusiformis and Fritillaria borealis f. sargassi 6%, O. cophocerca and Stegosoma magnum 2%. No other species reached 1%. The density of the species in the occidental zone deereased fairly regularly with latitude: 21 species in the south, then going on towards the north, 14, 11 and 2. In the area south of the strait of Malacca only 5 species were found, in its opening into the Bay of Bengal, 18. The Oikopleuridae were present in all the hauls, but the Fritillaridae were absent from 25. The geographical distribution of each species has been studied. Oikopleura longicauda is the only one which is clearly more abundant in the north; most of the other species show a decreasing gradient from south to north. The characteristic difference between the different zones cannot be established from the hydrological data (temperature and salinity). It seems, therefore, that the indigenous species are not very common, and that others originate from the Indian Ocean, transported by the south-north currents present at that time of year.

    Notes: Abstract A population of Oikopleura longicauda was sampled daily for 10 days, a period longer than their life cycle, using two nets of different mesh size (53 and 200 μm). Analysis of variance revealed that the number of specimens collected by the two nets was not significantly different for individuals larger than 300 μm in trunk length. A grand mean regression plotted for log of length versus log of number of specimens indicated that the number of small-sized O. longicauda (〈300 μm), which are not quantitatively sampled by nets, can be estimated from the collections by use of a coefficient of correction.

    Notes: Abstract The topography of the oikoplastic epithelium which covers the anterior and middle trunk regions of O. albicans, and the problems related to the constant number of the constituent cells and their increase in size is described in detail. A study of the nuclei shows that polyploidy, which is the rule for all cells, increases in relation to the age of each cell and varies according to the region under consideration.

    Notes: Summary Oikopleura albicans and O. longicauda belong to the two subgenera Vexillaria and Coecaria, respectively. The morphology and ultrastructure of their endostyles were investigated with conventional microscopic procedures as well as with DAB cytochemistry and 125I autoradiography at both light- and electron-microscopic levels. As expected, the general morphology of these endostyles is similar to all hitherto examined endostyles. They possess a ventral portion consisting of alternating glandular and ciliated cell zones, probably serving food capture, and a dorsal region, the corridor. Autoradiographic grains were found mainly in the corridor lumen associated with the apical surface of the two central rows of corridor cells. The same cells also gave strong positive reactions for peroxidase, the iodinating enzyme. Peroxidase activity was found in the apical plasma membrane as well as in the nuclear envelope, rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi area and cytoplasmic vesicles. Definitive conclusions concerning an apical uptake and subsequent release into the body fluid of iodinated material could not be made from the present experiments. Our investigations indicate that the two central rows of corridor cells in both subgenera of oikopleurids constitute the protothyroid region, possibly homologous to the vertebrate thyroid gland.

    Notes: Summary A simple continuous epithelium surrounds the body of the pelagic larvacean. It consists of two zones of cells: oikoplast cells and flattened cells. The oikoplast cells are columnar and produce a thick extracellular ‘house’ that ensheathes the body of the organism. These cells are joined laterally by wide tight junctions (zonulae occludentes). The tail of the animal is surrounded by exceedingly thin cells which are joined by narrow tight junctions under which lie intermediate junctions (zonulae adhaerentes) and gap junctions. A web of fibrous material inserts into the intermediate junctions. The transitional cells between the two epithelial zones have one lateral border with a wide tight junction, and the other lateral border with a narrow tight junction and a wide intermediate junction. In freeze-fracture replicas, the wide tight junction has a number of anastomosing ridges, in comparison with the narrow tight junction, which usually consists of only a single row of intramembranous particles. In replicas, the thin epithelial cells show unusual parallel arrays of particles in clusters on their apical plasma membranes. This simple epithelium, therefore, exhibits striking differences between the two cellular zones, in the structural characteristics of both the lateral borders and the apical membrane.
