This popular undergraduate textbook offers students a firm
grounding in the fundamentals of biological oceanography. As well
as a clear and accessible text, learning is enhanced with numerous
illustrations including a colour section, thorough chapter
summaries, and questions with answers and comments at the back of
the book.
The comprehensive coverage of this book encompasses the properties
of seawater which affect life in the ocean, classification of
marine environments and organisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton,
marine food webs, larger marine animals (marine mammals, seabirds
and fish), life on the seafloor, and the way in which humans affect
marine ecosystems.
The second edition has been thoroughly updated, including much data
available for the first time in a book at this level. There is also
a new chapter on human impacts - from harvesting vast amounts of
fish, pollution, and deliberately or accidentally transferring
marine organisms to new environments.
This book complements the Open University Oceanography Series, also
published by Butterworth-Heinemann, and is a set text for the Open
University third level course, S330.
