Bøger i Advances in Marine Biology serien

Part of the "Advances in Marine Biology" series, this volume reviews a range of important subjects such as: long-term oceanographic and ecological research in the western English Channel; marine biofouling on fish farms and its remediation; comparison of marine copepod outfluxes: nature, rate, fate and role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Features 20 lessons for assessing and guiding the use of restocking and stock enhancement in the management of invertebrate fisheries. This work covers 11 species of marine invertebrates; reviews over 1000 scientific papers; and, proposes a fresh approach to assess the potential value of hatchery releases to complement other forms of management.

Contains four eclectic reviews on topics ranging from marine mollusc mucus to deep-sea hydrothermal vent fauna. This title also contains reviews of various areas of marine science, including fisheries science and macro/micro fauna. It includes papers detailing the ecology of marine regions.

Volume 39 is a standard volume with reviews on three different topics: the effect of the Exxon Valdez oil spill on the Alaskan ecosystem, the reproduction and development of peracarida (abundant marine crustaceans), and remote sensing of the global light-fishing fleet.

Volume 40 is a standard volume with reviews on three wide-ranging topics: parasites found on the Atlantic cod; the biology of mangrove trees and mangrove swamp ecosystems; and structural, histochemical, and functional aspects of the epidermis (skin/outside layer) of fishes.

Contains reviews on ecology and biogeography of marine parasites; fecundity: characteristics and role in life-history strategies of marine invertebrates; the ecology of Southern Ocean Pack-ice; and biological and remote sensing perspectives of pigmentation in coral reef organisms. It also covers the lesser-known taxa of the phylum Mollusca.

This book will addresses major themes of growing research interest in the field of cephalopod research. The book will be composed of four chapters that will incorporate the latest advances in biology, ecology, life cycles, cultivation and fisheries of cephalopods. Each chapter will be a review written by a team of internationally-recognized authorities to reflect the findings and understanding achieved during the last years (decades). The book will represent a breakthrough contribution to the field of cephalopod science.

Advances in Marine Biology has been providing in-depth and up-to-date reviews on all aspects of marine biology since 1963--over 40 years of outstanding coverage! The series is well known for its excellent reviews and editing. Now edited by Michael Lesser (University of New Hampshire, USA) with an internationally renowned Editorial Board, the serial publishes in-depth and up-to-date content on many topics that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and biological oceanography. Volumes cover all areas of marine science, both applied and basic, a wide range of topical areas from all areas of marine ecology, oceanography, fisheries management and molecular biology and the full range of geographic areas from polar seas to tropical coral reefs.

Provides reviews on various aspects of marine biology. This book publishes content on a range of topics that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and biological oceanography.
