Product Description

The marine zooplankton is one of the most fascinating and diverse assemblages of animals known to biologists. This student manual provides a photographic guide to representative forms of the major groups from medusae and comb jellies to larval fish and squid. In it, only photographs of live and active organisms appear, giving a unique visual perspective. In this new edition, the authors have revised and updated the taxonomy and morphology so that combined with information on behavior and development, this book creates a vivid and essential reference.

Review
'The book can be recommended for use as a field and laboratory guide for students studying coastal zooplankton at the undergraduate level. At the very reasonable price of £15.95 ... others with an interest in coastal zooplankton may also wish to add this book to their reference collection for the sheer diversity of the fauna portrayed in the photographs.' Jocelyn Richard, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology
