Elements of Marine Ecology, Fifth Edition focuses on marine ecology as a coherent science, providing undergraduate students with an essential foundation of knowledge in the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems. The text reflects ecological groupings such as the pelagic lifestyle vs. the benthic lifestyle. In addition, background oceanographic material, previously in various chapters, is consolidated in the first chapter. The broad definition of ecology is the study of organisms in relation to their surroundings. This book presents marine ecology as a coherent science, providing undergraduate students with an essential foundation of knowledge in the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems.

A beautifully illustrated photographic identification guide to the common marine fish found around Britain and Ireland--ideal for divers, snorkellers, and natural history enthusiasts Fish are a colourful and important part of inshore marine life, much admired by divers and snorkellers. But it can be difficult to accurately identify and record these quick-moving animals underwater. This authoritative, beautifully illustrated photographic guide offers a practical, easy-to-use approach for identifying the fish species commonly seen in the waters around Britain and Ireland, as well as a few vagrant and interesting rare species. The book's concise text explains how fish can be identified underwater, and is accompanied by numerous photographs of each species in its natural environment and diagrams illustrating key features. The book also clearly indicates the cases when underwater species identification is more difficult. Published in association with the UK's Marine Conservation Society, the book makes an invaluable addition to the series of marine photographic titles of Seasearch, a species recording project for volunteer sports divers. <ul> <li>Features individual descriptions of more than 150 species, with information on size, depth range, habitat and distribution in the Seasearch guide icon format</li> <li>Illustrates every species in its natural underwater environment</li> <li>Emphasises key identification features and possible confusion species</li> <li>Includes a "confidence guide" distinguishing between easily recognisable species and those requiring closer examination</li> <li>Features longer sections highlighting interesting species, behaviours and other topics</li> <li>Provides information on protected species, taxonomy, shifting distributions and conservation status</li> </ul>
