520    Marine Ecology began life as a series of lectures given to
       second and third year undergraduates at Oxford University.
       These lectures were designed to give students insights as 
       to how marine ecosystems functioned, how they were being 
       affected by natural and human interventions, and how we 
       might be able to conserve them and manage them sustainably
       for the good of people, both recreationally and 
       economically. This book presents 10 chapters, beginning 
       with principles of oceanography important to ecology, 
       through discussions of the magnitude of marine 
       biodiversity and the factors influencing it, the 
       functioning of marine ecosystems within trophic levels 
       such as primary production, competition and dispersal, to 
       different trophic level interactions such as herbivory, 
       predation, and parasitism. The final three chapters look 
       at the more applied aspects of marine ecology, discussing 
       fisheries, human impacts, and management and conservation 
520    Other textbooks covering similar topics tend to treat the 
       topics from the point of view of separate ecosystems, with
       chapters on reefs, rocks, and deep sea. This book, however,
       is topic driven as described above, arid each chapter 
       makes full use of examples from all appropriate marine 
       ecosystems. The book is illustrated throughout with many 
       full color diagrams and high quality photographs 
520    The book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students 
       at colleges and universities, and it is hoped that the 
       many examples from all over the world will provide global 
       relevance and interest 
520    Both authors have long experience of research and teaching
       in marine ecology. --Book Jacket
