Encyclopaedia Of Advances In Biology And Microbiology Of Marine Life : Surrounding Habitat And Responses To Environment: Ecological Issues In Marine Life (ePub)

Oceans cover two-thirds of the earth's surface And while their surfaces often look smooth, the oceans are teeming with life oceans provide animal habitat all the way down to the ocean floor Since oceans are on average, over 2.5 miles deep, this means that they contain 99.5 percent of our planet's livable habitat. within that vast space, the oceans are filled with a huge range of microscopic organisms, animals, and plant life. ln this field, main subjects are taxonomy, ecology and host-microbes interaction of marine microbes by using physiological, biochemical and molecular biochemical techniques. The study of marine biology includes a wide variety of disciplines such as astronomy, biological oceanography, cellular biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, meteorology, molecular biology, physical oceanography and zoology and the new science of marine conservation biology draws on many longstanding scientific disciplines such as marine ecology, biogeography, zoology, botany, genetics, fisheries biology, anthropology, economics and law lt is important for scienitists to determine the quality of the marine environment to ensure water quality is sufficient to sustain a healthy environment coastal environmental health is an important ,area of environmental marine biology so that scientist scan determine the impact of coastal development on water quality for the safety of people visiting the beaches and to maintain a healthy marine environment. Pollutants, sediment, and runoff are all potential threats to marine health in coastal areas. Offshore marine environmental health is also studied For example, an environmental biologist might be required to study the impact of an oil spill or other chemical hazards in the ocean The book will prove to be useful and unique of its kind, as a reference resource and most authoritative guide, dealing with a broad spectrum of Microbiology of Marine Life and environmental pollution problems.lt is intended that this encyclopaedia is an dispensable treatise to the students and researchers of biology and microbiology of marine life.
