METHODOLOGY
Taxa: Field methods Sediments were collected from 40 m and 70 m stations with a 0.25 m2 Van Veen grab from vessels equipped with a winch and GPS. Sediments for live worm extraction were either placed in fresh sea water in plastic containers with lids and stored in a cooler, or in a large bucket with portable aerators. Samples were transported to the laboratory and aerated until they were sorted using a dissecting microscope.
Laboratory methods Live worms were removed by manually sorting through small amounts of sediment while viewing with a dissecting microscope and pipetting worms to aerated containers for culture. This method was found to be the least destructive to the worms which could be damaged by sieving and elutriation. Worms were held in an air conditioned lab (water temp. 22.9oC) in small containers (petri dishes holding 30ml of filtered sea water) and larger containers, glass dishes with 100-200ml of sea water and one gallon aquaria. Sea water used for cultures was collected from Diamond Head and treated in a microwave to kill microorganisms (60sec per 100ml), or Millipore filtered water (0.2 micron) was obtained from the Kewalo Marine Laboratory (UH, PBRC). Worms were fed crushed Tetramin fish flakes and oven-dried, powdered Enteromorpha intestinalis (green alga).

Grain size: Methods of sediment separation and analysis followed are after Folk (1968) as well as Holme and McIntyre (1984).
Nitrogen: A relatively new technique for carbonate sediments was used to recover the N values from sediments collected at S3 and DHS (40 m) and B3 and DH (70 m), and at 3 additional stations in Keehi Lagoon (10 m). The protocol was based on the method in Verardo et al. (1990) which involves acidifying the carbonate fraction with sulfurous acid and then combusting the remaining fraction. A mass spectrophotometer was used to read the N values of the two benthic species. Specimens were removed from archived samples originally fixed in formalin with Rose Bengal dye, subsequently stored in 70% ethanol and then processed.
