Published by MacMillan Co. 866 Fifth Ave. New York, NY 10022 The ecology of living organisms found in water purification situations (septic tanks, se_wage treatment plants, aquaculture fish tanks) is desCribed in - . thorough detail, yet it can provide the eager non-biologist with a working grasp of the essentials. Useful in developing practical water and energy con-, servation during treatment, suJtainable food chains in fish tanks and environmental clean-up in general. Since it covers the ecologic cycle, it's a good companion in any aquaculturist's library to Spotte's Fish & Inaertebrate Culture: Water Management in Closed Systems (197O, $9.50, John Wiley & Sons), which focuses on chemical,and biological cycles.
