The types of disks in which giant planet formation can occur by the mechanisms of gravitational instability or core accretion -- gas capture are examined. In both cases disk masses in excess of that in the minimum-mass solar nebula are required. However, if the core-accretion process is enhanced by the presence of an anticyclonic vortex in the disk, it can result in planet formation on a time scale of order 106 years and can occur in a minimum mass disk.
