Sea anemones and corals, sea stars and sea urchins, octopuses and squids are just a few marine creatures that we never encounter on land or in freshwater. Many other creatures are even less familiar, and it is often difficult for those interested in marine life to learn more about them. The aim of this introductory book is to introduce the diversity of life in the seas and to help newcomers to marine biology recognise the main kinds of marine organisms. The examples selected, focus on Victoria and southern Australia. The emphasis is on animals and plants that are commonly seen by divers, snorkellers, beachcombers, rock poolingers, and by anyone with an interest in marine life.Museum Victoria01Museum Victoria022007060101210mm02150mmUNIREPS0210200706010219.95UNIREPS05AU020120070601 978097583704702039780975837047159780975837047BCA Museum Victoria Field Guidehttp://www.unireps.com.au/isbn/9780975837047.htm1A01Poore, Gary C.B.72PSPM02Crabs, hermit crabs and allies will familiarise the amateur naturalist, beachcomber, diver and others who have an interest in the marine environment of crabs, hermit crabs and their close relatives.
