Infos

This new volume of Advances in Marine Biology contains reviews on a wide range of important subjects such as: long-term oceanographic and ecological research in the western English Channel, marine biofouling on fish farms and its remediation, interactions between behaviour and physical forcing in the control of horizontal transport of decapod crustacean larvae, comparison of marine copepod outfluxes: nature, rate, fate and role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Advances in Marine Biology has been providing in-depth and up-to-date reviews on all aspects of Marine Biology since 1963 -- over 40 years of outstanding coverage! The series is well-known for both its excellence of reviews as well as the strength of its thematic volumes devoted to a particular field in detail, such as 'The Biochemical Ecology of Marine Fishes' and 'Molluscan Radiation'. Radiation'.

* Series Encompasses 40 Years of Coverage
* Up-to-date Reviews on Wide-Ranging Topics
