Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Hardbound. This book discusses the findings of most of the active researchers in taxonomy, molecular biology, ecology, physiology and toxicology, and public health officials concerned with the apparent global epidemic of harmful, toxic, noxious and nuisance phytoplankton events in the sea. It will be of great value to public health officials and organizations; coastal management specialists; international, national, regional and state agencies concerned with the sea and its resources; and aquaculturists.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
