Methods in aquatic ecology is an outstanding book covering a wide range of topics related to fresh water ecology, limnology and hydrobiology. An attempt has been made to give simple methods for water quality analysis with brief theoretical background. While narrating a particular water quality parameter effort has been made to give its relevance to public health, fisheries and such other purposes. Besides including several physico-chemical water quality parameters normally used in water quality studies, biological methods have also been presented in a justifiable manner. Similarly, a chapter pertaining to aquatic bacteriology is also included in this book. Besides these, at the end some useful information comprising of water quality standards, water classification, water distribution and brief glossary of common terms related to aquatic ecology have been incorporated in this book. The book shall be highly useful to a wide range of researchers in water quality studies.
