In Chapter One, Carlos García, Javiera Oyaneder-Terrazas, Diego Figueroa, Carolina Díaz, Romina Mora, and Héctor R Contreras examine events linked to lipophilic marine biotoxins (OA-, AZA-, PTX- and YTX-group) and the way they interrelate in the mussels sp. environment in the Austral Pacific fjords. In Chapter Two, Uriel Rubio Rodríguez, Jessica A Navarro González, and M Itzigueri Burgos Vázquez explore the anatomical adaptations allowing for gregarious behaviour in schools of fish to suggest modifying capturing methods for fisheries. In Chapter Three, Carlos García, Javiera Oyaneder-Terrazas, and Hector R. Contreras provide a study lipophilic marine biotoxins in the environment and their connection to concentration levels in shellfish. Marcos I. Pérez-Pérez, M. Dolores Garza-Gil, and Manuel Varela-Lafuente examine Spanish turbot aquaculture beginning in 1983 and ending with the future challenges it will face in Chapter Four. In Chapter Five, Yulia I. Podlipaeva and Andrew V Goodkov present a study on White Sea mussel adaptions to environmental salinity changes. Next, H Y Zhanga, P K S Shina, and S G Cheung present a study on the effect of salinity and acidification on food detection in Nassarius festivus, a marine gastropod, in Chapter Six. In Chapter Seven, J A Grant-Mackie reviews the distribution of a nautiloid in the Late Triassic. Following this, Bi Lin Liu, Xin Jun Chen, Jian Hua Li, Yi Gong, and Jing Yuan Lin present a review on the jumbo flying squid, or Dosidicus gigas, in Chapter Eight. Lastly, Chapter Nine by Bi Lin Liu, Jing Yuan Lin, Xin Jun Chen, Tao Jia, and Gang Li examines the species composition, abundance, and spatial distribution of zooplankton through a study conducted with Chinese squid jigging vessels in the Pacific Ocean.

Ever-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarising the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes fifty years ago. Its objectives are to consider, annually, the basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes; to deal with subjects of special and topical importance; and to add new subjects as they arise. The favourable reception accorded to all the volumes shows that the series is fulfilling a very real need: reviews and sales have been gratifying. The fifty-second volume follows closely the objectives and style of the earlier volumes, continuing to regard the marine sciences—with all their various aspects—as a unity. Physical, chemical, and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in these fields. The series is an essential reference text for researchers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects, and it finds a place in libraries of not only marine stations and institutes, but also universities. It is consistently among the highest ranking impact factors for the marine biology category of the citation indices compiled by the Institute for Scientific Information.

Advances in Marine Biology, Volume 76, the latest release in a series that has been providing in-depth and up-to-date reviews on all aspects of marine biology since 1963 is well known for its contents and editing. This latest addition to the series includes updates on many topics that will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, and biological oceanography. Specialty areas for the series include marine science, both applied and basic, a wide range of topical areas from all areas of marine ecology, oceanography, fisheries management, and molecular biology, and the full range of geographic areas from polar seas to tropical coral reefs. Reviews articles on the latest advances in marine biology Authored by leading figures in their respective fields of study Presents materials that are widely used by managers, students, and academic professionals in the marine sciences Provides value to anyone studying bottlenose dolphins, deep-sea macrofauna, marine invertebrates, pinna nobilis, and ecology, amongst other study areas
