Book

ABSTRACT

The increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for reviews summarizing the results of recent research. This annual review has catered for this demand since its foundation, by the late Harold Barnes, more than 30 years ago. Its objectives are to consider, annually, basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes; to deal with subjects of special and topical importance; and to add new ones as they arise.; The 34th volume continues to regard the marine sciences, with all their various aspects, as a unity. Physical, chemical and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in their own field. The series is a useful reference text for research workers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects, and it finds a place in not only the libraries of marine stations and institutes but also universities.
