description
This book presents an in-depth discussion of the biological and ecological geography of the oceans. It synthesizes locally restricted studies of the ocean to generate a global geography of the vast marine world.
Based on patterns of algal ecology, the book divides the ocean into four primary compartments, which are then subdivided into secondary compartments.
*Includes color insert of the latest in satellite imagery showing the world's oceans, their similarities and differences
*Revised and updated to reflect the latest in oceanographic research
*Ideal for anyone interested in understanding ocean ecology -- accessible and informative
Audience: Ecologists, oceanographers, marine and fishery scientists.

"This discussion of the ecological geography of the oceans synthesizes locally-focused studies to support a rational partition of the entire surface of the oceans into ecological provinces that are now widely accepted by oceanographers and fisheries scientists. Using information from recent research as well as data and images from earth-orbiting satellites, Ecological Geography of the Sea, Second Edition describes how the pelagic ecosystem everywhere responds to the effects of mesoscale eddies, planetary waves, tide sea-ice and other oceanographic phenomena."--Jacket
