Abstract

Oceanography survey design sampling biodiversity abundance replication time series ecosystem surveys
Compiled as part of the Global Census of Marine Life, Biological Sampling in the Deep Sea is a comprehensive look at all major sampling techniques for the biggest habitat on earth: the deep sea. This important publication commences with introductory chapters looking at the deep sea habitat and current survey and sampling design. The major part of this new book covers all the major types of gear, each in a separate chapter. Chapters each follow a standard format and include a range of carefully-selected illustrations. The final part of the book includes chapters covering the preservation and curation of biological samples, identification of samples, information management, data analysis, applications to managing deep sea resources and biodiversity, with a final chapter looking to the future. This is considered an essential purchase for all scientists working with deep sea environments, including marine biologists, fisheries scientists, ecologists, oceanographers and environmental scientists. All universities where biological sciences, fisheries, and oceanography are studied and taught should have copies of this most important book on their shelves [Book Synopsis]
