Book Review:
''Aquatic Ecology'' by S.R. Misra and D.N. Saksena is a comprehensive and well-structured textbook that serves as an excellent introduction to the study of freshwater and marine ecosystems. It systematically covers the fundamental principles of aquatic ecology, including the physical and chemical properties of water, the biology of aquatic organisms (from plankton to fish), energy flow, nutrient cycles, and the structure of various aquatic habitats like lakes, rivers, and estuaries. The book also addresses critical applied issues such as water pollution, eutrophication, and conservation strategies. Written with clarity and supported by relevant examples, it is particularly suited for undergraduate and postgraduate students in biology, environmental science, and fisheries. It is a reliable and informative resource for anyone seeking a solid foundation in understanding how aquatic ecosystems function and the challenges they face.
