Introduction to Marine Plankton by Mitra, Abhijit et al. 2004. ISBN
81-7035-324-6. 102 pp., figures, tables, index. $30.00 
The present book is designed for acquiring a basic knowledge on marine and
estuarine phytoplankton and zooplankton, which are tiny free-floating biotic
components of the aquatic ecosystem. These drifting biological chips of the
aquatic system play an important role in maintaining the global carbon cycle
and also in spinning the marine food web. It is well known that
phytoplankton are the sources of fossil fuels, and form the foundation stone
of world fishery. However, phytoplankton sometimes causes adverse impact on
the marine and estuarine environments. Toxic phytoplankton, when consumed by
shellfish or other species often affect the marine food chain including
poisoning of sea birds, mammals and even human. This compound can transform
into sulphuric acid and eventually may contribute to acid rain. The
zooplankton occupy the tier next to phytoplankton in the marine food web and
form important linkage between the primary and secondary productions of the
oceans.
Contents: 1. Marine and estuarine plankton: an overview. 2. Marine and
estuarine plankton: classification and types. 3. Sampling and storing of
plankton. 4. Plankton spectrum of Northwestern Bay of Bengal. 5. Role of
natural processes on plankton community. 6. Plankton culture. Index.

Seaweeds: Biogeography and Ecophysiology. Klaus Luning. 2000. ISBN:
0471624349. 527 pp. Hardcover. $305.00 
A translated, thoroughly revised, and updated edition of the German work.
Part I presents the geographic distribution of seaweeds and seagrasses
around the world, environmental factors, floral history, and relevant
paleoceanographic considerations, covered geographically. Part II covers
seaweed ecophysiology, including the relationships of light, temperature,
salinity, and other abiotic factors on seaweed distribution, as well as
biotic factors such as competition, herbivory, predation, and parasitism, in
order to elucidate the ecophysiologic bases for the distribution patterns
examined in Part I.

NEAS Keys to the Benthic Marine Algae of the Northeastern Coast of North
America from Long Island South to the Strait of Belle Isle.
Edited by James R Sears. 2002. ISBN: 1878301071. 163 pp. Softcover. $25.00
The importance of seaweeds in industry, and issues of geographic
distributions and the introduction of non-indigenous species are discussed.
With several full color photographic plates. An excellent reference to the
identification of known species of seaweeds found between the Strait of
Belle Isle (Newfoundland) to Long Island Sound.
