- W805301867 abstract "Review: Under Southern Seas: The Ecology of Australia's Rocky Reefs By Neil Andrew (Ed.) Andrew, Neil (Ed).. Under Southern Seas: The Ecology of Australia's Rocky Reefs. Malabar, FL: Krieger, 2000. 238 pp. ISBN: 1-57524-141-2 (hardbound). US$49.50 A colourful and refreshing publication about marine life of the Australian rocky reefs, this hardcover, oversize volume provides readers with comprehensive materials on the ecology of Australia's rocky and their fisheries. Divided into three parts and containing 26 chapters, Under Southern Seas is a pleasure to the eye. Richly illustrated with around 200 colour photographs, and contributions of 32 marine biologists, Neil Andrew's work maintains a good balance between text and photos. The six chapters of the first part (and not seven as the editor indicates in the introduction) focus on oceanography. Readers discover Australian's underwater landscapes, the major currents around Australia and their effects on marine species. Authors provide an understanding of species interaction and introduce the diversity of rocky plant and animal communities. Although the underwater Australian landscape is covered in its entirety, little is known of the processes that operate on to determine where species occur and how abundant individual animals and algae are (write Edyvane and Shepherd in chapter 5). The next two parts describe the ecology of sea animals. The book progresses logically from 'Algae & Invertebrates' (part 2) to animals and large mammals such as 'Sharks, Fishes & Seals' (part 3). For example, Steinberg and Kendrick describe the ecology of a kelp community in chapter seven. Next, one can learn about blacklip abalone (the most abundant marine snails on rocky reefs). Chapters 10 and 11 deal respectively with the hidden inhabitants of the rocky reefs (i.e. octopuses and their relatives) and jellyfish. Pitt and Kingsford from the University of Sydney explain how these fragile and beautiful species move, feed and breed. Chapters 12 to 14 concentrate on lobsters from South, East and West rocky reefs, while chapter 15 reports on the ecological role of Australia's twenty species of sea urchins. Reef sharks and rays open the third part of Under Southern Seas. From the well-known grey nurse shark to the mysterious banded wobbegong (also known as carpet shark) and its underwater camouflage; chapter 17 is a valuable source of information for those interested in these creatures. …" @default.
