Mediterranean + Atlantic invert guide

English sea water book by Peter Wirtz and Helmut Debelius. 305 pages, hardcover. This book presents 820 Species of Invertebrates in more than 1000 underwater photos, including newly discovered species. The Strait of Gibraltar was opened about 7 million years ago and in a gigantic waterfall the Mediterranean Sea basin was filled with water from the Atlantic Ocean, which is why animals in the Mediterranean and the Eastern Atlantic are closely linked. species are shown, many have never been photographed before and some have only recently been discovered while others remain undescribed. Four of them were named in honor of the author who observed the behavior and ecology of the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean animals during the last 30 years.
