Description

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.

Reviews

"Chapters by various authorities provide a modern account of the biology of pelagic tunicates, an often-neglected yet fascinating group of marine organisms ... [the book] includes much new and previously-unpublished information."--Northeastern Naturalist
