About This Book

This work surveys the history and practice of marine aquaria, combining natural-history description with step-by-step guidance for constructing and maintaining tanks. Chapters examine the ocean floor and its plant life, describe seaweeds and other marine vegetation, and catalog zoophytes, molluscs, ascidians, worms, fish, and crustaceans. Practical sections address aquarium design and preservation, illustrated by detailed plates of seaweeds, sea-anemones, starfish, and crustaceans. The text balances ecological observations and species accounts with hands-on methods, aiming to teach readers to recognize marine forms and to establish healthy, sustainable aquaria.
