Molluscs

Release of the 2000 Red List is a major landmark for IUCN. It is the first time that listings of animals and plants have been combined and the first time that the Red List has been produced on CD-ROM. The 2000 Red List combines new assessments‹including all bird species, many antelope and bat species, most primates and sharks, all Asian freshwater turtles, more molluscs, and many others‹with those from previous publications.

Synthesizing decades of work, but up-to-date, this book focuses on organism-level responses to pollutants by marine animals, mainly crustaceans, molluscs, and fishes.

This manual enables the isolation and identification of bacteria that are found in aquatic animals, particularly fish. The emphasis is on bacteria from farmed aquatic animals, including fish,molluscs and crustacea, but some attention is also given to other marine and freshwater animals such as mammals and birds, both captive in zoos or in the wild, as well as aquarium fish.
