This unique marine biology laboratory and field manual engages students in the excitement and challenges of understanding marine organisms and the environments in which they live. The laboratory and field activities are designed to encourage students to develop their own powers of critical observation and analysis. They will benefit from a thorough examination of topics such as the physical and chemical properties of seawater, marine microbes, algae, and a wide variety of invertebrate and vertebrate animals through observation and critical thinking activities. Laboratory and Field Investigations in Marine Life, Eleventh Edition is an ideal resource to accompany Introduction to the Biology of Marine Life, Eleventh Edition.
