Description
The term "zooplankton" describes the community of floating, often microscopic, animals that inhabit aquatic environments. Being near the
base of the food chain, they serve as food for larger animals, such as fish.
The
ICES (International Council for the Exploration
of the Sea) Zooplankton Methodology Manual provides comprehensive coverage of modern techniques in zooplankton ecology written
by a group of international experts. Chapters include sampling, acoustic and optical methods, estimation of feeding, growth, reproduction
and metabolism, and up-to-date treatment of population genetics and modeling. This book will be a key reference work for marine scientists
throughout the world.
Audience:
Postgraduates, researchers, and industry workers in marine biology, ocean sciences, zoologists, and ecologists.
