About this Item

A Handbook to the Common Intertidal Invertebrates of the Gulf of California by Richard C. Brusca; The University of Arizona Press, 1977, 2nd printing. softcover. illustrated. Few places in the world can claim such a diversity of species as the Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez), with its 6,000 recorded animal species estimated to be half the number actually living in its waters. So rich are the Gulf s waters that over a half-million tons of seafood are taken from them annually and this figure does not count the wasted by-catch, which would triple or quadruple that tonnage. This timely book provides a benchmark for understanding the Gulf s extraordinary diversity, how it is threatened, and in what ways it is or should be protected.
