Popis: 1. The effect of blue light on the behavior of Gyrodinium dorsum is described. Action spectra for the orientation and "stop" responses are presented.2. Dark-adaptation curves for the stop-response in darkness and red light are presented.3. The maintenance effect of red light on these responses is described and a possible two-pigment machinery proposed.4. The relationship of these phenomena to the vertical distribution of the phytoplankter in nature is discussed.
