It is also clear from Table 3 that on the few occasions it has been taken in the upper 100 m. during the day it has only been present in small numbers, the mean number per haul, considering positive hauls, only being 2-8; the corresponding figure for night hauls is Fig. 9.

(See Table 5 for the number of observations on which this figure is based.) The diurnal variation in the numbers in the surface water could be caused by a diurnal variation in avoidance of the net. However, it is shown below (p. 328) that there is no such difference between day and night avoidance, and consequently this must be a real variation in the population and not just an apparent one due to the sampling methods. Fig. 9 A and B shows the mean number of adolescent and adult E. triacantha per 20 min. loo-o m. and 250-100 m. hauls, respectively, for each 2-hourly period. Only those stations have been used at.
