This volume compiles state-of-the-art science for the Salton Sea and will serve as the foundation for the next several generations of scientific inquiry for California's largest lake. The science presented here reveals the Salton Sea to be one of the most productive fisheries in the world, details why the Salton Sea is important to migratory and wintering birds, investigates the microbial world and reports numerous taxa, and documents chemical and physical interactions which make this inland saline lake function. This book is intended for specialists in saline lake research who are interested in all aspects of saline lake ecology.
