At the present time only limited data about the release of organic matter by phyto-plankton in the marine environment are available (Antia, McAllister, Parsons, Stephens & Strickland, 1963; Fogg, Nalewajko & Watt, 1965; Hellebust, 1967; Jitts, 1967; Home, Fogg & Eagle, 1969; Anderson & Zeutschel, 1970; Thomas, 1971; Samuel, Shah & Fogg, 1971).

Skeletonema Costatum (Greville) Cleve, a marine phytoplankton, releases organic matter in response to environmental factors, such as temperature, salinity, and pH, in a variety of field conditions.
