Received on February 1, 1986; accepted on August 1, 1986 The shelf area from Cape Henry to Cape May is located between two adjacent shelf sections of greater concentrations of phytoplankton cells. North of this area higher cell numbers are found in the New York Bight, but these concentrations decrease southward toward Cape May. Here the Delaware plume offers some increment in cell numbers, but the next major concentration of cells occurs father south within the Chesapeake Bay plume, before decreasing again toward Cape Hatteras. Species composition for these areas of the mid-Atlantic Bight are similar.
