Description
Astral Publishing Harmful Freshwater Life: Colour Guide by R Santhanam
The different chapters of this comprehensive title deal with the biology and ecology of harmful freshwater biota such as toxic micro and macroalgae; poisonous freshwater plants; harmful freshwater invertebrates such as protozoans, sponges, trematodes, nematodes, annelid worms, arthropods and molluscs; harmful freshwater vertebrates such as cartilaginous and teleost fishes; amphibians such as toads, frogs, newts, and salamanders; and water snakes, alligators, crocodiles and mammals. Further, pathogenic microbes like bacteria and fungi and their infections; and case reports relating to human health hazards associated with harmful freshwater life are also dealt with. It is hoped that the present publication when brought out would be of great use as a standard text-cum-reference for teachers, students and researchers of various disciplines such as Limnology, Aquatic Biology, Life Sciences, and Environmental Sciences; as a valuable guide to physicians, environmentalists, tourists, divers and fishermen and others involved in recreational activities; and as a valuable reference for libraries of colleges and universities.
