About this title

Review:

"...a beautifully illustrated work." ( International Journal of Crustacean Research)

"Marine Fauna and Flora of Bermuda fully gives what the editor stated as its purpose: ′to reveal the beauty and order in marine life by introducing the reader to the organisms that inhabit the ocean around Bermuda.′ The book will have much use beyond these waters. It well deserves to be highly recommended to ′scientists, teachers, students, and other nature lovers′ for whom it was designed to serve as a guide" (Helgolander Meeresuntersuchungen, 1986)

Synopsis:

A practical guide to 1 527 marine organisms found in the vicinity of Bermuda. Useful as a field identification guide and an introduction to systematic marine biology throughout the tropical West Atlantic. The book covers a wide range of fauna and flora - from bacteria to seaweeds to molluscs to fish to whales. Definitions for a large number of categories above the genus level, from family through phylum, make up the framework for an orderly representation of the diversity of marine life. In addition, the book is illustrated with line drawings and color plates.
