| Abstract |
The 33rd European Marine Biology Symposium held in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, from September 7 to 11, 1998, covered two main topics: 'Life at Interfaces' and 'Life under Extreme Conditions'. lt assembled about 180 marine biologists from 16 countries to present and discuss recent developments in the field.Interfaces between media, be it the air-water or the sediment-water interfaces or organisms themselves, pose considerable problems to marine organisms attempting to make a living at these boundaries. In view of the present discussion on the deleterious effects of antifouling agents on marine ecosystems, these aspects especially will regain increased attention by the scientific community. Although marine organisms are well adapted to - by human standards - extreme conditions of temperature,salinity or pressure, they nevertheless have to develop techniques to survive under these conditions. In this monograph, a number of authors address various aspects of these two topics. Locations range from intertidal areas to the deep sea while both macro- and meiofaunal organisms were investigated with respect to distribution patterns and effects of variable temperatures, pressures and salinities. Aspects of fouling induction and prevention are also addressed. |
