Reviews

“Here, experts in the fields of marine and freshwater ecology … provide the first comprehensive results of studies on the effects of this radioactive release on both marine and freshwater systems. … The primary nature of the research makes this title most appropriate for advanced students in marine and freshwater fisheries and marine ecology programs, as well as researchers in related fields such as environmental science. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.” (K. R. Thompson, Choice, Vol. 53 (6), February, 2016)
