Pages: 324 Illustrations and other contents: numerous line drawings and halftones Language: English ISBN: 9780198549550 Categories: , ,

Erratum: Table 11.1 on page 241 has been mis-set. The entries for the phyla Annelida, Bryozoa, Cnidaria, Echiura, Mollusca, Placozoa, Porifera and Rotifera should all be moved one column to the right. The deep sea environment is the most extensive on our planet. Its denizens are normally unseen but whenever they are exposed to view they are regarded as bizarre aliens from a different world. The Biology of the Deep Ocean takes a close look at this apparently hostile world and explains how its inhabitants are exquisitely adapted to survive and flourish within it.

There are not that many comprehensive books dealing with deep-sea habitats. This one can be recommended, because it gives much for its price and because it is interesting for everyone who wants to know how deep-sea organisms are able to survive in a decidedly hostile world. * G. Van Der Velde Crustaceana * ... written with clarity and in a readable style ... The book is a timely contribution from an eminent deep-sea biologist. I applaud Peter Herring for inspiring students and scholars with a classical book on deep-sea biology. * Limnology & Oceanography * ... Strongly recommended. * Biologist *
