Biomass of seston in the surface layers of coastal waters off Namibia reaches 1 g/m**2 and decreases with distance from the shore. Two regions of high seston biomass, one northern and one southern, are distinguished. A subsurface maximum of seston biomass, presumably coinciding with the stream of co...
