Abstract: A gray reef shark, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos, was captured at
Enewetak Atoll, the Marshall Islands, in 1972. Near the right pectoral
fin was a large fungating tumor. Microscopically, no evidence of
microorganisms

or definite malignant transformation was

observed,

and

inflammation and necrosis were minimal. However, the tumor appeared to
be a keloid, the first to be reported in sharks.;

Country of Origin: United States
Abstract: The coral Pavona praetorta was collected west of Eniwetok Island
and rates of photosynthesis were determined in the dinoflagellates
living as symbionts in the coral. Relative to maximum photosynthetic
rates the deep water individuals saturate their photosynthetic
machinery at lower radiation intensities than the shallow water
individual. This is analogous to the sun and shade differences for
canopy and understory plants. The acclimation to ambient light regime
in corals suggests that extrapolation from measurements or individuals
at one depth to the population over the whole depth range is not valid.
