Summary

Who, then, are these masters of the oceans? Masters of intelligence, speed, and the ability to dive into the deep sea—such as the sperm whale or the immense blue whale?What if we changed the scale of our observations? In coral lagoons, mantis shrimp are tiny terrors for anyone who approaches their burrows. In the camouflage championship, the mimic octopus and the frogfish stand out. In the endurance category, salmon and sea turtles excel, while icefish and seals brave the coldest temperatures. As for nudibranchs, they win the color contest hands down. Aren't the masters of the oceans also found among the microscopic, such as the phytoplankton that sustain almost all food chains, and the viruses that swarm there by the billions?This book sets out to explore these extraordinary species, which are essential to sustaining life in the oceans. Today, their conservation is a major challenge.
