Biological OceanographyThis modern textbook of biological oceanography is aimed atstudents taking oceanography, marine biology and marine sciencescourses. It covers recent developments such as the moleculartechniques (including sequence data) that have allowed are-examination of the ocean's microbial ecology and the role of thevarious trophic groups in biogeochemical cycling, carbon flow andclimate control.
