Recenzje

'At last! It is over 50 years ago since a comprehensive review on the biology of chaetognaths appeared....This book will be consulted as a reference work for many years ahead. It is a 'must' on the bookshelf for every higher degree student and researcher in zooplanktology, systematics and comparative morphology and physiology, as well as for teachers of zoology.' Journal of Natural History
