Le présent guide répond à cette question de filiation, présente l’historique de nos connaissances, décrit l’anatomie des Tuniciers, leur biologie, leur écologie et décrit avec précision, dans des fiches richement illustrées, les espèces les plus communément observées sur les côtes de l’Europe de l’Ouest.
