Lipids in Freshwater Ecosystems

This volume synthesizes the divergent literature on aquatic lipids into a coordinated, digestible form. It addresses lipid composition and production in freshwater organisms and includes chapters on phytoplankton, zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. A common theme throughout is the function of lipids in aquatic food webs, with a section devoted exclusively to lipids as indicators of health in fish populations.
