ICES Zooplankton Methodology Manual

ICES Zooplankton Methodology Manual

Roger Harris
0/5 ( ratings)
The term "zooplankton" describes the community of floating, often microscopic, animals that inhabit aquatic environments. Being near the base of the food chain, they serve as food for larger animals, such as fish.
The ICES Zooplankton Methodology Manual provides comprehensive coverage of modern techniques in zooplankton ecology written by a group of international experts. Chapters include sampling, acoustic and optical methods, estimation of feeding, growth, reproduction and metabolism, and up-to-date treatment of population genetics and modeling. This book will be a key reference work for marine scientists throughout the world.
Sampling and experimental design
Collecting zooplankton
Techniques for assessing biomass and abundance
Protozooplankton enumeration and biomass estimation
New optical and acoustic techniques for estimating zooplankton biomass and abundance
Methods for measuring zooplankton feeding, growth, reproduction and metabolism
Population genetic analysis of zooplankton
Modelling zooplankton dynamics
This unique and comprehensive reference work will be essential reading for marine and freshwater research scientists and graduates entering the field.
