Abstract
Chemical reagents have permitted the probing of cells, metabolic rates and processes, all of which make up an understanding of the world’s living resources on land, and freshwater as well as estuarine, coastal and oceanic waters. During the past decade, there has been an explosion of immunochemical reagents and techniques, primarily in the biomedical sciences. Within the past few years there has been keen interest in adapting some of this methodology to the study of marine organisms. The greatest incentive is derived from the fact that one can tag and trace something of interest in a complex mixture — without elaborate separation and isolation procedures. Thus, for the aquatic research community the approach is ideal. Oceans, lakes, and estuaries are often dilute mixtures, but they are always complex mixtures of autotrophs, heterotrophs, larval stages, adult forms, detritus, and fecal pellets.
