About this book

Collected in this special volume are 36 invited and contributed papers first presented at the Second Asian Pacific Phycological Forum held at the Chinese University of Hong Kong at the turn of the century. These papers were subsequently updated to bring to fore the latest development in algal research in the Asian Pacific Region. This volume thus provides one of the most comprehensive pictures of advances in algal research in this part of the world.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"These proceedings of the second Asian Pacific Phycological Forum … contain an anthology of peer-reviewed papers written by (mainly) phycologists working in Pacific Asia. … The publication is well printed and bound and the figures are of good quality. … both the surveys and the research papers contain information that has not been published elsewhere and it is useful to have this publication available." (Willem F. Prud’Homme Van Reine, Blumea, Vol. 50 (1), 2005)
