From the Back Cover
This is the second of two volumes of the "Atlas of Marine Zooplankton - Straits of Magellan". It constitutes an important contribution to the study of the faunal assemblages of the area where the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans mix, and is designed to allow rapid identification of the 39 species described, several of which are new to the region.
This volume deals with the amphipods, euphausiids, mysids, ostracods and chaetognaths, their taxonomy, spatial distribution and abundances. Background data on their physical and biological environments is also provided. Emphasis is given to illustrations - most of them high-quality scanning electron micrographs plus drawings -, accompanied by brief taxonomic descriptions.

Atlas of Marine Zooplankton, Straits of Magellan: Amphipods, Euphausiids, Mysids, Ostracods, and Chaetognaths
Seller: killarneybooks, Inagh, CLARE, Ireland
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Oversized hardcover, xvi + 275 pages, numerous b&w illustrations, NOT ex-library. Weight 1.1kg. Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards with a small area of damage right on the upper edge of the front panel. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A comprehensive detailed visual guide to the diverse marine zooplankton species inhabiting the Straits of Magellan. Edited by renowned marine biologists, this atlas focuses on key groups of zooplankton and is an invaluable tool for scientific research, environmental monitoring, and conservation efforts in marine biology. -- "The second Atlas of the zooplankton assemblages of the Straits of Magellan is intended as a companion text to the first volume on the copepod species in this biogeographically unique area. The Atlas deals with the amphipods, euphausiids, mysids, ostracods and chaetognaths sampled during the course of the Italian expedition in the Straits in 1991. Although numerically less abundant than the copepods described in the first volume of this series, these other groups can at times be relatively abundant, ranking second or third in frequency after the ubiquitous copepods. Also, they contribute significantly to the total zooplankton biomass and therefore play an important role in the carbon flux dynamics in the area. The Atlas is intended for both beginners and experts in plankton ecology. The descriptive format is similar to the one adopted for the first volume on copepods. It is extremely succinct, with brief taxonomic descriptions. Emphasis is given to illustrations that include line drawings and scanning electron micrographs; 39 species are described including 13 amphipod, 6 euphausiid, 4 mysid, 13 ostracod and 5 chaetognath species. Several of these are new for the Straits. As in the first volume of the series, detailed information is also given on species distributions and relative abundances, together with environmental data at the time of collection. A detailed description of the study area has already been published in the first volume of the series. Since much of the faunistic information on the zooplankton assemblages in sub-Antarctic areas dates back to the turn of the century and is usually contained in rare monographs or reports, we hope that this new Atlas, together with the first volume, will provide a rapid and practical handbook for the easy identification of the species living in this and other sub-Antarctic areas, facilitating future research activities in these regions.".
