This award supports a one year project with Dr. J.                         Christensen of Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences that will                  attempt to make respiration rate measurements of selected benthic               infauna.  The measurement of benthic respiration rates is                       critical to our understanding of the consumption of organic                     carbon in shelf and near shore waters.  However, biological rates               are some of the most difficult environmental measurements to                    make, and the investigators will apply a sensitive biochemical                  assay for respiration, the measurement of electron transport                    system (ETS) activity.  The ETS measurements will be calibrated                 with laboratory oxygen consumption measurements and respiration                 under a range of environmental conditions will be investigated.                 The field study will be done in the near shore waters of southern               Maine.
