Abstract

Preliminary ecological, microstructural and metabolical results are presented of a study on the symbiotic relationship between the Saccoglossan Opisthobranch Elysia timida, from the Mar Menor hypersaline lagoon (Murcia. SE Spain), and its algal chloroplasts. The intimate metabolical relationship is demonstrated from different points of view and using different techniques: cytological study through electron microscopy; primary production of the chloroplasts through the measure of the produced oxygen and of the incorporated I4C, etc. Some data on the biology of the species in its lagoon habitats complete the paper, which closes with a consideration on the work to be still done on the subject.
