This book represents the Proceedings of the 37th European Marine
Biology Symposium, held in Reykjavik, Iceland, 5-9 August 2002. The
main themes of the symposium were Migrations and Dispersal of
Marine Organisms. These themes are highly relevant today. There is
widespread man-aided dispersal (e.g. by ballast water) of marine
plants and animals, which may have substantial effects on the
regions receiving new species. The new introductions may result in
reduced diversity of plants and animals and may affect natural
resources in the countries receiving toxic algae and other foreign
elements. Studies of changes in distribution and dispersal of
marine animals and plants are also highly relevant with reference
to the changing climate taking place. The study of dispersal has
recently gained new impetus with the discovery of the remarkable
communities found on isolated hydrothermal vents and cold water
seeps in the world's oceans.
This book should appeal to a broad group of biologists, and
especially marine ecologists. Four papers are based on keynote
addresses, given by world authorities in their respective fields,
on the state of the art of different important aspects of dispersal
and migrations. These are followed by papers covering a wide field,
from the rafting of macrobenthic animals on human debris, the
spread of the Chinese mitten crap in Europe, the migrations of
diatoms, and the seasonal movements of copepods, to mention but a
few."
