Product Description:

William S. Johnson and Dennis M. Allen provide a complete guide to estuarine and coastal zooplankton in North America and the first comprehensive guide to the zooplankton of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The scholarly treatment presents technical information in a user-friendly format that facilitates rapid and positive identification. Coverage includes most common zooplankton (and many phytoplankton) of this region. The authors provide detailed instructions for identifying taxa as well as the ecological information to place them in context. The introductory chapters on zooplankton biology and on coastal habitats permit the book's use as both a guide to identification and as a text or supplemental text in marine biology courses.

Key Features· High-quality line drawings that indicate the distinguishing features of most taxa· Use of coloration or movement to help identify living specimens· Information on biology, distribution, and ecology with each identification· Extensive references and suggested readings· Instructions for easy and inexpensive ways to collect and observe zooplankton

Designed specifically for classroom and laboratory use, this book is indispensable for teachers and students of Atlantic and Gulf Coast marine biology. It should also prove useful to professional biologists and amateur naturalists with an interest in zooplankton.

- Finally a guide for the east coast plankton!
Environmental educators have been waiting a long time for a book on the east coast plankton (as well as the Gulf of Mexico!), but the wait was worth it. Marni Fyling's illustrations are incredibly precise and the accompanying text is both informative and readable. The book is not cheap, but it's what these books seem to cost these days. Particularly for something that will come in so handy.
