Pelagic tunicates are fascinating for their beauty, remarkable in
most cases for their curious and even bizarre life cycles, and
often notable for extraordinarily rapid growth. Furthermore, in
recent years their major importance in the economy of the sea has
been recognized. Although the now outdated encyclopaedic texts of
the 1930s dealt with pelagic tunicates, the results of much
subsequent physiological and ecological work have only appeared in
scattered articles. This book is unique in giving a modern account
of the biology of pelagic tunicates, with much new and unpublished
information. Different chapters treat such topics as the ecological
impact of salp blooms, locomotion by jet propulsion, the affinities
of different groups, and the abundance and distribution of each
group. Updated classification and identification keys to every
pelagic tunicate now known are included. The Biology of Pelagic
Tunicates will be useful to all plankton workers, and may perhaps
stimulate ecologists, physiologists, and geneticists to begin work
on a somewhat neglected group of animals that offer some unusual
advantages for different kinds of study.
