It describes procedures for establishing a study, the study of impacts, including marine protected areas, and benthic surveys of both mobile and sessile species on soft and hard bottoms. Also covered are methods for studying reef fishes and pelagic species, including plankton. Data analysis and treatment of specimens are covered in detail, and a resource section provides a directory of expertise in the field Analysis ECOLOGY MARINE ENVIRONMENT Notes "Publication of this book has been assisted by grants from the New Zealand Department of Conservation and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd."--T.p. verso Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-326) and index Subject Ecological assessment (Biology) Ecological assessment (Biology) -- New Zealand.
