| Abstract |
Pelagic Tunicates play an important role in the sea as filter feeding animals of the macroplankton in geochemical cycling. This is the first book in fifty years to provide a full account of all the Tunicate groups. It should therefore be of enormous value to plankton workers, containing keys to aid identification. For the aid of researchers, the authors have highlighted areas where further work is needed. |
