Sea-water systems for experimental aquariums; a collection of papers

This volume was created to provide a source of information on design, construction, and operation of experimental aquarium facilities. The idea developed out of our own frustrated search for published material on sea-water supply systems when we were planning facilities for the new Sandy Hook Marine Laboratory. We found that we had to spend many weeks visiting laboratories and many months corresponding with aquarists to obtain the information we needed. It became clear, as a result of this, that nearly everyone who has built a sea-water system has experienced similar difficulties.
