The major benefit of this book is a comprehensive treatment (i.e.,
updated diagnoses accompanied by original photographs to illustrate
the main diagnostic features plus a glossary of used terms) of all
so far known species of the genus Hydroides accompanied by original
illustrations, which has not been done before. The authors are
excellent researchers with many publications to their credit. It
will be very useful to commercial and academic institutions.
Students will enjoy collecting and identifying specimens from
reefs, harbours and aquaculture facilities. Because Hydroides has
world-wide distribution, the book has a worldwide audience.
Hydroides biofouling has high economic impact due to the costs
associated with removal of the tubes from ship hulls and submerged
structures, aquaculture facilities, as well as lost revenue from
fouled commercial molluscs. This book thus has economic importance,
and will be a useful resource as more research into Hydroides is
funded. This book is the first fully-illustrated comprehensive
guide to all known to date species of the notorious biofouling and
bioinvasive genus of calcareous tubeworms. Quality original
micrographs.
