Zooplankton of the open Baltic: Extended Atlas - IOW

ABSTRACT
This is the Second Edition (improved and extended) of the third volume
in a series of zooplankton atlases of the Baltic Sea. It describes zooplankton
community of the open Baltic waters, which is a mixture of marine species
and diverse representatives of brackish water and limnetic faunas. Brief
information on morphology and ecology of zooplankters, picture key to
higher invertebrate taxa and methodological recommendations for sampling,
identification and counting of zooplankton are provided. Two checklists
present more than 1030 names of micro-, meso- and macrozooplankton
organisms. The volume is enhanced by 4 tables, 31 line drawing, and 462
colour photographs. The photographs of zooplankters are combined into 63
photo plates depicting most common species of Protozoa (Ciliata), Cnidaria,
Ctenophora, Turbellaria, Rotifera, Phyllopoda, Copepoda, Chaetognatha and
Copelata, as well as meroplanktonic larvae of Polychaeta, Mollusca,
Cirripedia, Bryozoa and Echinodermata. The atlas is recommended for
university students, zoologists and aquatic ecologists who are investigating
and monitoring the pelagic ecosystem of the Baltic Sea.
