Subtidal Invertebrates of New Zealand: A Divers' Guide

By Stephen Wing

Profiling 155 different species in the shallow subtidal waters around the coast of New Zealand, this guide is specifically tailored to be an easy reference for scuba divers to quickly identify marine life. Each page is covered in protective plastic sleeves, and color photographs are accompanied by concise text to provide succinct descriptions of each animal to aid in identification. A general introduction explains invertebrate diversity and ecology that is covered in each chapter--including Porifera, Cnidaria, Annelida, Arthropoda, Brachiopoda, Bryozoa, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Chordoata. Published in association with the New Zealand Department of Conservation, this is a handy reference for scuba divers, biologists, and marine-science students.
