Overview

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.
