Reviews

With the continuing public interest in environmental quality, scientific effort in this field has been expanding and research on techniques for the study of marine pollution has made significant progress. Perhaps the greatest development in recent years has been towards the use of biological measurements aimed at detecting and assessing pollution.... An outstanding contribution to this body of knowledge has been and is being made by Dr. Bayne's group at the Institute of Marine Environmental Research at Plymouth in England. This book stems from their efforts and brings together the quintessence of their work.... The book will be recognized as a landmark as well as an essential reference for all those who wish to apply biological monitoring techniques.-Marine Pollution Bulletin
