Sobre IBD

What is happening in our oceans? By describing their main elements, this book shows how and why the oceans are being transformed, and suggests possible future scenarios to address this complex, yet often-asked, question. The ocean is being dramatically transformed, but the magnitude of this transformation remains unclear since the ocean is largely inaccessible and still unknown: there is more information about the outer universe than about the deepest parts of our oceans.The author, a marine biologist with extensive research experience, offers a holistic view of our oceans. Focusing on fishing, pollution and the effects of climate change, he identifies and describes the changes occurring in all marine ecosystems, and discusses the long-passed state of equilibrium.

  • Factors affecting the ecology of suspension feeders
    Sergio Rossi
    Suspension feeders have a paramount role in benthic-pelagic coupling processes. The book explores both the environmental factors affecting its ecology (i.e. seasonal and short time seston dynamics, available food in the water column) and their response to such physical, chemical and biological factors (.e. activity rhythms, diet and capture rates, biochemical balance). The over...
