Description
A guide to the marine molluscs of the Mediterranean.
From the common octopus to the shelled small limpet, Stanley Farrugia Randon’s Molluscs of the Mediterranean Sea is a guide for snorkelers and divers who enjoy plying the underwater world.
The book includes a classification of each specimen of marine mollusks. This group is the largest marine phylum and is probably what makes its members so diverse and interesting. The body does not have a skeleton but in most cases it is protected by a rigid structure which survives after the animal dies and decomposes. The study of these shells is referred to as conchology.
The book is aimed at a general reader who does not necessarily have a scientific background. It features a glossary at the end to help readers better understand the terminology used.
