Symposium on Investigations and Resources of the Caribbean Sea and Adjacent Regions, 18-26 November 1968, Willemstad, Curaçao : Coloquio sobre investigaciones y recursos del mar Caribe y regiones adyacentes, celebrado del 18 al 26 de noviembre 1968, Willemstad, Curaçao.-- 16 pages, 6 figures It is perhaps in keeping with the spirit of the present times, when so many papers are being published about the moon, that a paper on the American Mediterranean has been asked from a worker residing on the shores of the classical Mediterranean. In any case, I feel grateful to the organizers of the Symposium for having invited me, and I am no less indebted to those that in the past have offered me the opportunity to have a personal look on the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, I shall mention with special gratitude the Station of Margarita, in NE Venezuela, [.] Melosira, Oithona, Clausocalanus, Sardinella anchovia, Brevoortia, Balaenoptera acutorostrata, Chaetoceros coarctatus, Oscillatoria, Trichodesmium, Neothunnus macropterus, Germo alalunga, Phyllochaetopterus, Nocticula, Amphisolenia, Peridinium gatulipes, Peridinium pentagonum latissimum, Ceratium belone, C (furca) hireus, C. incisum, C. lunula, C. vultur, Pyrocystis hamulus, Lauderia annulata, Rhizosolenia cylindrus, Hemiaulus indicus, Hemiaulus membranaceus, Chaetoceros curvisetusm Ch. socialis, Asterionella japonica, Stephanopyxis (Skeletonema) costata, Coccolithus huxleyi, Oxytoxum variable, Syracosphaera mediterranea, Nitzchia delicatissima, S. tropica, Thalassiosira subtilis, Doliolum, Salpa, Nitzchiae, Pseudonitzchia, Prorocentrum micans, Ditylum, Coscinodiscus, Paracalanus aculeatus, P. parvus, Oncaea venusta, Nannocalanus minor, Clausocalanus arcuicornis, Evadne, Penilia, Aglaura, Liriope, Rhopalonema, Acartia, Temora, Euterpina, Labidocera, Calanopia, Scolecithricella [.] Peer reviewed
