Download or read book Seawater Aquariums written by Stephen Spotte and published by . This book was released on 1979-09-07 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquariology occupies a position that is peripheral to the main body of science. More specialized disciplines - seaiology - provide the foundation for what is known about how how aquatic animals and plants live in captive environements. The gulf seperating specialists from aquarists has never been adequately spanned until now. For the first time, material from these specialized fields has been assimilated collated, and made available to aquarists. SEAWATER AQUARIUMS is the most comprehensive books of its kind ever written. Drawing on his own experiences in the public aquarium profession, Spotte deals with the maintenance of aquatic animals and plants in closed systems (aquariums in which the water s filtered and otherwise treated, and then reused). Aquatic organisms alter the water in which they live, and their well-being is in turn affected by the extent and nature if the changes. Thus, the book's primary theme is the control of water quality factors that affect the physiological processes of captive seawater organisms. Among the topics discussed in detail are: temperature control; lighting; aeration; buffering; bacteriological filtration; the workings of ultraviolet sterilizers and ozonators; physical adsorption methods; techniques for processing large volumes of influent seawater; and the origins and physiological effects of stress. The subject of the last chapter is the laboratory analysis of aquarium seawater. Both practical and theoretical aspects are integrated throughout the text, resulting in a unique blend of the latest theoretical information with practical techniques for using it. The accompanying bibliography is the most complete compendium of aquarium literature assembled to date. Researchers in freshwater, estuarine, and marine science; design engineers of public aquariums, hatcheries, aquaculture installations, and marine laboratories; oceanographic technicians; and public aquarium curators will all appreciate the usefulness of this unqie volume on seawater aquarium technology.
