Proceedings of the Cladocera Symposium, Budapest 1985

`Jellyfish', a group that includes scyphomedusae, hydromedusae, siphonophores and ctenophores, are important zooplankton predators throughout the world's estuaries and oceans. These beautiful creatures have come to public attention as featured exhibits in aquaria and in news headlines as invaders and as providers of genes used in biomedical research. Nevertheless, jellyfish are generally considered to be nuisances because they interfere with human activities by stinging swimmers, clogging power plant intakes and nets of fishermen and fish farms, and competing with fish and eating fish eggs and larvae. There is concern that environmental changes such as global warming, eutrophication, and over-fishing may result in increased jellyfish populations. The literature reviews and research papers in this volume explore the interactions between jellyfish and humans. Papers cover the medical aspects of jellyfish stings, jellyfish as human food and jellyfish fisheries, interactions of jellyfish and fish, effects of environmental changes on jellyfish, effects of introduced ctenophores on the Black Sea ecosystem, factors causing increases or concentrations of jellyfish, and others aspects of jellyfish ecology. This is an important reference for students and professional marine biologists, oceanographers, fishery scientists, and aquarists.

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Coelenterate Biolology, held at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, USA, 6-11 July 2003

Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium

Proceedings of the Symposium on Perspectives in Southern Hemisphere Limnology held in Wilderness, South Africa, 3-13 July 1984

This volume originated in a belief, shared by the two editors, that the time was ripe for a world-wide survey - or at least sampling - of seasonality in freshwater phytoplankton. Thus one may expect to find the geographical differentiation of climatic patterns reflected in the seasonal patterns of algal occurrence.

Proceedings of a Symposium held in Brussels, Belgium, December 9-12, 1985

This work presents the state of the art of aquatic and semi-aquatic ecological restoration projects in The Netherlands. Starting from the conceptual basis of restoration ecology, the successes and failures of hundreds of restoration projects are described.

Proceedings of a symposium held in Uppsala, Sweden, September 25-28, 1985

On behalf of the participants we express our thanks for the generous sponsorship received from the Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation, the Academy of Finland, the Finnish Ministry of Education, Lammi Biological Station and the Finnish Limnological Society.

Proceedings of the Seventh International Conference on Copepoda, held in Curitiba, Brazil, 25-31 July 1999

This book contains a collection of papers dealing with various aspects of the biology and aquaculture of the large branchiopod crustacea; the Anostraca, Conchostraca, and Notostraca. Included are many of the papers presented at the Second International Large Branchiopod Symposium convened in Ulm, Germany, 30 July--3 August 1993. Additional manuscripts contributed by colleagues who were unable to attend are also included. A special feature of this volume is a checklist of the Anostraca, including information on distribution, location of type material, taxonomic problems, and literature references.

This book presents the latest advances in Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) mapping and modeling and introduces the environmental approach to EFH identification through the combined use of latest technologies and advanced techniques.

Contains the keynote lectures, reports on the experimental work, and papers contributed as posters at the Fifth International Workshop of the Group for Aquatic Primary Productivity (GAP). The theme of the workshop was the daily growth cycle of phototrophic micro-organisms.
