Gain in dry weight of animal tissue with dry weight of plant consumed for experiment A, with separate curves for male (c?), female (?) and "average" (c/1) animal. Closed circles represent "average" animal of experiment D. Marginal slopes indicate percentage moving efficiencies. about 85% at 30° C. Figure 4B, which plots the effect of increasing salinity, suggests a peak efficiency at 35%c (that of normal sea water), which decreased as the medium became progressively more hypo- and hypertonic to this. As food cell concentration rose (Fig. 4C), growth efficiency increased at first rapidly, reached a peak and then fell away. The curve levelled off at the highest experimental cell concentrations. DISCUSSION The results presented above refer to an experimental single plant/animal sys- tem, and give a measure of "growth ; The type of data derived from studies of natural communities has been differentiated by Slobodkin (1960) with the name "ecological ; This author, and Richman (1958) may be consulted for reviews of synonymous and related terminology in the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ); Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, Mass. ).
