ICES Zooplankton Methodology Manual

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 (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea) 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.
