The biomass of these sediments calculated from the extractable phospholipid and polar lipid ester-linked alkyl FAME showed levels equal to those in a highly productive Florida estuary. The antarctic sediments contained a

Evidence for sinking along this path is given by intrusions of cold water and freshwater observed at 500-rn (section II) and 1,400-rn (section III) depths (figures 2 and 3). The temperature and salinity maximum over the
