  • Shark Troubleby Peter Benchley

    Random House Publishing Group 2002; US$ 11.99

    Master storyteller Peter Benchley combines high adventure with practical information in Shark Trouble , a book that is at once a thriller and a valuable guide to being safe in, on, under, and around the sea. The bestselling author of Jaws, The Deep , and other works draws on more than three decades of experience to share information about sharks and other marine animals. “Shark attacks on human beings generate a tremendous amount of media coverage,” Benchley writes, “partly because they occur so rarely, but mostly, I think, because people are, and always have been, simultaneously intrigued and terrified by sharks. Sharks come from a wing of the dark castle where our nightmares live—deep water beyond our sight and... more...

  • Cephalopodsby Peter Boyle; Paul Rodhouse

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2008; US$ 235.00

Cephalopods: ecology and fisheries is a thorough review of this most important animal group. The first introductory section of the book provides coverage of cephalopod form and function, origin and evolution, Nautilus , and biodiversity and zoogeography. The following section covers life cycles, growth, physiological ecology, reproductive strategies and early life histories. There follows a section on ecology, which provides details of slope and shelf species, oceanic and deep sea species, population ecology, trophic... more...

  • Selection and Breeding Programs in Aquacultureby Trygve Gjedrem

    Springer 2005; US$ 139.00

    This book describes the basic elements in the theory of animal breeding and inheritance of quantitative economic traits and the way in which this technology can be implemented in selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. The role and the implementation of molecular genetics in modern selective breeding programs is also addressed. The book?s main objective is to stimulate development of efficient selective breeding programs in aquaculture, the world?s fastest growing industry for animal protein production. more...

  • What Is Natural?by Jan Sapp

    Oxford University Press 1999; US$ 19.00

    During the late 1960s and 1970s, massive herds of poisonous crown-of-thorns starfish suddenly began to infest coral reef communities around the world, leaving in their wake devastation comparable to a burnt-out rainforest. In What is Natural?, Jan Sapp both examines this ecological catastrophe and captures the intense debate among scientists about what caused the crisis, and how it should be handled. The crown-of-thorns story takes readers on tropical expeditions around the world, and into both marine laboratories and government committees, where scientists rigorously search for answers to the many profound questions surrounding this event. Were these fierce starfish outbreaks the kind of manmade disaster heralded by such environmentalists... more...

  • Phytoplankton Productivityby Peter J. le B. Williams; David N. Thomas; Colin S. Reynolds

    John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2008; US$ 260.00

Each chapter of this important work has been written by internationally-acknowledged experts in the subject, and the whole has been carefully drawn together and edited to provide a book that is an essential tool and reference for all aquatic scientists. The book takes ascending temporal and spatial size scale as its framework - covering molecular to geological scales. Chapters include reviews of physiology and biochemistry, measurement of phytoplankton productivity,... more...
