The book initially emphasizes pelagic organisms and processes, but benthos, hydrothermal vents, climate-change effects, and fisheries all receive attention. The chapter on oceanic biomes has been greatly expanded and a new chapter reviewing approaches to pelagic food webs has been added. Throughout, the book has been revised to account for recent advances in this rapidly changing field. The increased importance of molecular genetic data across the field is evident in most of the chapters.
As with the previous edition, the book is primarily written for senior undergraduate and graduate students of ocean ecology and professional marine ecologists.

Industry Reviews
"Due to its comprehensive nature, it is clear that this book will also succeed as a standard text for use in undergraduate and graduate marine science courses." (Austral Ecology, 10 October 2014)
"Overall I found it to be an immensely informative and entertaining read. This book will make an excellent core text for any graduate level course in Biological Oceanography whether introductory or advanced...I also think that every Biological Oceanographer should read it. It is an enlightening experience to view your field through the eyes of two colleagues who have been in this business for a long time. I also found reading this book a humbling experience. Charlie Miller and Pat Wheeler demonstrate an amazing depth and diversity of understanding in almost every topic that is taken up. I hope by the time I get to where they are in their careers I have achieved this level of scholarship in Biological Oceanography." (Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, 1 May 2013)
"The book is extremely well referenced for further study and the impression is that most of the work cited is from within about the last twenty years. Altogether a worthy addition to any marine departmental library." (British Ecological Society Bulletin, 1 December 2012)
