"The present book is compendium of recent original research in the field of aquatic ecology. It is an assemblage of up to date information of rapid advances and developments taking place in the field of aquatic ecology.
The book is a unique compilation of 21 chapters which discusses exhaustive studies on planktonology, physico chemical environment, fisheries, toxicology, physiology etc. With its application oriented and interdisciplinary approach, the book would be immensely useful to students, teachers, researchers, scientists, policy makers, environmental lawyers and others interested in aquatic ecology.
The chapters in the book have been contributed by eminent scientists/academicians active in the areas of aquatic ecology." (jacket)
