"THE IMMEDIATE TASKS OF MARINE
MICROBIOLOGY" (KRISS, 1963)
Extension of at-sea observations and integration
into "mainstream" oceanography, especially
marine geochemistry
Year-round, repeat observations to resolve daily,
seasonal and interannual variations
Estimation of productivity and determination of
controls on P:B ratios
Begin systematic study of bacterial taxonomy,
especially in "bathysphere" (i.e., deep sea)
