Oceanographic Survey Methods

Abstract

The present manual deals with basic knowledge concerning oceanographic observation methods. Part of this handbook was drafted, in collaboration with Mr. Hooi Kok Kuang, as a manual for the local staff and the research trainees at the Marine Fisheries Research Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Changi, Singapore, while the editor himself was engaged as the Fishing Ground Development Section Chief at the Department between 1970 and 1973. Chapters 7, 8 and 12 were written by Dr. Akihiko Shirota, the then Ocean Research Section Chief, and his colleagues; and chapters 9 and 10 by Dr. Tetsushi Senta, the then Fisheries Resources Section Chief, and his colleagues.
