The fundamental purpose of this book is to synthesise the divergent
literature on aquatic lipids into a co-ordinated, digestible form.
A large part of the book addresses lipid composition and production
in freshwater organisms, with chapters on phytoplankton,
zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. A common theme throughout
the book is the function of lipids in aquatic food webs, with a
chapter devoted exclusively to lipids as indicators of health in
fish populations. A complementary chapter highlights the role of
lipids and essential fatty acids in mariculture. Methodologies to
determine the lipid content of aquatic samples and suggestions as
to the utility of fatty acids as trophic markers are included, as
is one chapter on the role of lipids in the bioaccumulation and
bioconcentration of toxicants and another on the relationships
between lipids and surface films and foams. The final chapter
highlights the similarities and differences between lipids of
marine and freshwater origin. Students and researchers in ecology,
phycology, aquatic toxicology, physiological ecology and limnology
will find this an invaluable guide and reference.
