About this book

Subtropical convergence regions in the southwestern Atlantic have a high biological productivity, and are important as nursery and feeding areas and as reproduction grounds for fishery stocks of subtropical and antarctic origin.
This book represents the first multidisciplinary treatise of this large and complex marine ecosystem. It analyses how subtropical convergence and land-sea interactions influence the coast, and sea and their biota. Synthesizing the rapidly expanding information, it provides a comprehensive appraisal of the biological resources, an assessment of their sustainable exploitation, and an evaluation of oceanographic processes. An inventory of all marine taxa in the southwestern Atlantic is included as an appendix.

Reviews

From the reviews: “The general understanding of coastal and marine ecosystems like coasts and seas themselves is continuously evolving. … The authors of this book have made an attempt to synthesize the rapidly expanding database … . will be useful to many different readers including ecologists and other scientists, resource managers, students and interested laypersons. … This book is based upon an enormous body of original literature and individual contributions of hithertoo unpublished data authored by many scientists for extracting the pertinent information.” (Entomologia Generalis, Vol. 32 (1), 2009)
