DescriptionThis guide is intended to facilitate the study of macroscopic estuarine and marine invertebrates of the Delaware Bay region, especially those living on or near the benthos. It presents taxonomic characters that will allow the non-specialist to distinguish a particular species from other species in the region. For each group, the guide includes a classificatory outline, a key to species, illustrations, and bibliographies. Major groups include: porifera; phylum cnidaria; platyhelminthes and rhynchocoela; annelida and sipunculida; phylum mollusca; arthropoda; entoprocta and ectoprocta; and echinodermata and primitive chordates. There is also a summary of collecting sites.
NoteThis manual was originally published as part of the Delaware Bay Report Series sponsored by the National Geographic Society.
NotePurpose: To provide a taxonomy to facilitate the study of macroscopic estuarine and marine invertebrates of the Delaware Bay region, especially those living on or near the benthos.
