On changes taking place in sea water during storage

Hydrographer at the Plymouth Laboratory

Extract

The rapid growth of bacteria when sea water is stored in glass vessels, and the possibility that this is brought about by the concentration of food by adsorption on the solid surface, are discussed. Some evidence is presented bearing upon such adsorption.

The regeneration of phosphate from dissolved organic phosphorus compounds in the sea and in stored water is considered.
