Biological Sampling in the Deep Sea is the first comprehensive compilation of deep-sea sampling methodologies for marine habitats. It reviews the applications of current, and developing, deep-sea sampling tools and techniques. This ebook draws upon the experiences of those facing deep-sea sampling, expanding on the existing methodological texts whilst encompassing a level of technical detail often omitted. Ultimately the book will promote international consistency in sampling approaches and data collection, advance the integration of information into global databases, and facilitate improved data analyses. Although scientific knowledge has increased in recent decades, there exist large gaps in global sampling coverage of the deep sea, and major efforts continue to be directed into offshore research. 496 p.
