Brackish Water Alage of Sundarbans, India

Brackish water wetlands of Sundarbans constitute important fishery resources and an integral part of the fastest growing aquaculture in the world. Wetlands of Sundarbans is a unique repository of biodiversity. The enormous abundance and diversity of algae of brackish water wetlands have an impact on wetland ecosystems. This book represents physico-chemical characters of brackish water wetlands, algal diversity, zooplankton, fishes and role of algae in aquatic ecosystems of Sundarbans. Dwindling expertise in taxonomy impairs the concept of biodiversity; therefore, this book will be an impetus for filling the gap of documentation of algal species. This book provides a wealth of information for those studying and working with algae and will be helpful not only to botanists, zoologists, environmentalists,researchers but to decision makers as well.
