Abstract
When air was bubbled through filtered sea water organic particles were found in the spray droplets from bursting bubbles as well as in the bubbling chamber. These particles aggregated if left undisturbed. A suspension of particles had a high phosphorus content. Addition of these particles to filtered sea water decreased the apparent inorganic phosphate content of the sea water. The particle suspension exhibited a high degree of surface activity. We believe that wave-induced bubbles and surface circulation may constitute important mechanisms for production of organic particles in the ocean.
