Abstract

Studies of a man-made tropical lake bordering the Pacific Ocean revealed a case of thermal inversion caused by the superposition of brackish water upon more saline water. An interesting biological community was observed characterized by sparse plankton and abundant organisms attached to vertical basaltic walls. This unique environment supported a thriving population of mangrove oysters.
