28. We are grateful to M. Bender for numerous discussions on all aspects of this research. Comments by A. Kaplan, Y. Kolodny, and three anonymous reviewers significantly improved the manuscript We appreciate the help of the Bermuda Biological Station in sampling at BATS and extend special thanks to S. Bell The support of the Kinneret National Laboratory is appreciated. Y. Yacobi and Y. Sagi helped in gross-production measurements in the Sea of Galilee, and J. Erez and K. Schneider helped with the coral experiment The support of the U.S.-lsrael Binational Science Foundation, The Israel Science Foundation, MARS-2, and the Moshe-Shilo Minerva Center is greatly appreciated.
