By Bernardo Duarte and Maria Isabel Violante Caçador
Ecotoxicology of Marine Organisms is an academic reference that reviews recent research on the effects of chemical contaminants on marine ecosystems. The book covers the impact of pollutants on a wide range of marine organisms, from microorganisms to algae and higher animals, using both classical and modern ecotoxicological approaches.
It discusses biomarkers, sentinel species, and integrated assessment methods used to evaluate ecological quality and environmental risk in marine environments. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in marine biology and environmental sciences, this book provides a structured overview of marine environmental toxicology.
