Extract

Twenty species, one of them represented by two ecologically different isolates, were grown at salinities from 0 to 60‰ at intervals of 5‰ or less. Growth was measured spectrophotometrically on a pigment extract, and formation of sexual organs was recorded. For each species the results are presented in a diagram, and compared with the salinity preference suggested by information in the literature and by the author's observations in nature.
