PLANKTON INVESTIGATION IN INLET WATERS ALONG THE COAST OF JAPAN -XII. THE PLANKTON OF MIYAKO BAY ON THE EASTERN COAST OF TOHOKU DISTRICT-

Abstract

A plankton investigation of Miyako Bay on the eastern coast of the Tohoku District, about 40 km north of Kamaisi Bay, was made on October 18, 1952, by the same methods as already employed in Onagawa and Kamaisi Bay (YAMAZI, 1953). The samples were collected at a superficial layer and near the bottom. The 26 stations where samples were collected are shown in Fig. 1. The survey was made possible with the help of Mr. E. YAMADA, of Miyako Fisheries High School and his colleagues whose kindnesses and cooperation are heartily acknowledged.
