Develoments in Numerical Ecology

Abstract

Since the interior of the sea is not directly accessible to us (terrestrial beings), our present view of the pelagic ecosystem is mainly a product of many “blind observations”. Unlike with terrestrial systems, there was little ordinary (natural and direct) knowledge of the sea before its scientific study. Water, as a support for life, has to be studied by combining sampling and field measurements with models and theoretical work (e. g. Herman and Platt 1980).
