Its denizens are normally unseen but whenever they are exposed to view they are regarded as bizarre aliens from a different world. The Biology of the Deep Ocean takes a close look at this apparently hostile world and explains how its inhabitants are exquisitely adapted to survive and flourish within it.The book begins with an analysis of how conditions in the oceanic environment differ from those in the familiar terrestrial world and then describes the techniques (and ingenuity) required to reveal the populations inhabiting the co 410 0$aBiology of habitats. 606 $aDeep-sea biology 606 $aMarine biology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDeep-sea biology. 615 0$aMarine biology. 676 $a578.77/7 700 $aHerring$b Peter J$0625704 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456253203321 996 $aBiology of the deep ocean$91221683 997 $aUNINA
