Features

Provides a systematic evaluation of the effects of particle shape on IOPs of marine particles

Synthesis the literature into a global perspective on Macrocystis ecology

Covers developments that promise accelerated understanding of the role of migratory mysids

Traces the use of analytical tools for benthic ecology using a historical perspective

Explores the common characteristics of the reefs within the Andaman Sea

Summary

Reflecting increased interest in the field and its relevance in global environmental issues, Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 45 provides authoritative reviews that summarize results of recent research in basic areas of marine research, exploring topics of special and topical importance while adding to new areas as they arise. This volume, part of a series that regards the all marine sciences as a complete unit, features contributions from experts involved in biological, chemical, geological, and physical aspects of marine science. These features along with the inclusion of a full color insert and an extensive reference list, make the text an essential reference for researchers and students in all fields of marine science.
