Advances in Marine Biology has been providing in-depth and up-to-date reviews on all aspects of marine biology since 1963 -- over 45 years of outstanding coverage! The series is well-known for both its excellence of reviews and editing. Now edited by Michael Lesser, with an internationally renowned Editorial Board, the serial publishes in-depth and up-to-date content on a wide range of topics that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and biological oceanography.


This volume will become a reference to marine biologists with interest in - benthic ecology and biotic interactions, including symbiosis
- chemical and molecular ecology
- systematics, phylogeny, and evolution
- sponge culture and tissue engineering
