A thematic volume with recent developments in micro algal research, this book
incorporates the latest findings specifically to address how best algal cultures
can be utilized as analogues of natural blooms, their utility in understanding
the ecological principles and their applications in biotechnology.
This set of 2 volumes will be useful to researchers in biological oceanography
as well as scientists, advanced undergraduate and graduate students as a summary
of current thoughts in physiological ecology.
