2)YEAR:  1994
3)PI:  Merryl Alber
4)OTHERS:  Edward Sheppard,
5)BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DATA FILE: Bacterial uptake of 3-H
  leucine.
6)KEYWORDS:  Bacterial  Production
7)RESEARCH LOCATION: LMER 0 Longitudinal Survey, St. Marys
  River.
8)EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS AND METHODS: Production was calculated
  based on uptake of 20nM 3-H leucine.
9)NOTES AND COMMENTS; All samples were collected from the  
  surface.  sampling sites were selected by salinity.

Codes:SM(St. Marys R)+3 digits code for salinity in 0/00. 
11)CALCULATIONS:
   a. change in DPM=(average scint count (live)-scint count
      (killed))
   b. change in DPM (from Above) per liter per day x 
      (4.545 E-7 nmol/Ci)/(# Ci in isotope)
