The existing knowledge on the use of marine invertebrates as indicators of marine pollution was edited by Hart and Fuller. This volume dealt wih species composition, population, size, systematics, and relationship of these animals to the physical-chemical environment. Chapters include discussions on menatodes, bryozoans, polychaetes, ostracods, copepods, crabs, shrimp, larval decapods, isopods, amphipods, clams and snails. Other general reviews include a discussion by Cole on the effects of pollution of the sea, the importance of nannoplankton around sewer outfalls, and the regional differences in the amount of trace metals in mussels.
