Hardback. This is a practical guide to the taxonomy and identification of planktonic organisms, which also provides a general introduction to plankton biology and incorporates the latest techniques in plankton ecology. Editor(s): Castellani, Research Fellow Claudia (Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (Sahfos)); Edwards, Chief Scientist Martin (Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science (Sahfos)). Num Pages: 704 pages. BIC Classification: PSPM; PSVS; PSVT; RBKC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 281 x 228 x 43. Weight in Grams: 2266.
A thorough understanding of planktonic organisms is the first step towards a real appreciation of the diversity, biology, and ecological importance of marine life. A detailed knowledge of their distribution and community composition is particularly important since these organisms are often very delicate and sensitive to change, and can be used as early indicators of environmental change. Natural and man-induced modification of the environment can affect both the distribution and composition of plankton, with important ecological and economic impacts. Marine Plankton provides a practical guide to plankton biology with a large geographic coverage spanning the North ... Read more
