A student’s guide to the seashore
Third Edition
This unique, concise and beautifully illustrated guide allows students to identify over
650 of the common, widespread animals and seaweeds of the shore. User-friendly
dichotomous keys are supported by details of diagnostic features and biology of each
species. Now enhanced with 32 pages of colour, this much-acclaimed guide is invalu-
able to students of marine biology at any level. Questions such as: How does the
species reproduce? What is its life-cycle? How does it feed? are answered in the notes
accompanying each species to give a fascinating insight into the diversity and com-
plexity of life on the shore. The text is supported by an extensive glossary of scientific
terms, and a comprehensive bibliography is included to aid further study. The third
edition builds on the excellent reviews of earlier editions and will continue to appeal
to a wide readership, including students, teachers and naturalists.
The authors have many years’ experience of research and teaching in marine biology.
Susan Fish is a Research Associate and John Fish the former Director of the Institute of
Biological Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Science at Aberystwyth University.
They have published extensively on intertidal ecology, and the Student’s Guide draws
on this personal research and their substantial experience of leading field courses in
marine biology for undergraduate and extramural students.
