This valuable book demonstrates why fish eggs and larvae are important, how the characteristics of early life stages require a somewhat different research approach and how information on early life stages can be applied and interpreted to yield unique insights into fish populations. The editors of "Fishery Science" have drawn together an extremely useful and well-written book with contributions from internationally respected researchers from North America, Asia and Europe. Chapters include a discussion of the unique nature of early life stages, age and growth, mortality, recruitment, populations analysis, habitats, human impacts and management. A carefully selected set of case studies demonstrates several specific applications of early life history information to a number of fishery problems. "Fishery Science" was designed to complement existing textbooks and is an essential purchase for all fisheries students and professionals, and for biologists working on the early life stages of fish. This exciting book is also of great value to ecologists, marine, freshwater and environmental scientists, populations biologists and oceanographers. All libraries in universities and research establishments where biological and fishery science are studied and taught should have copies of this book available on their shelves. |

| Publisher Description: There has been explosive growth in research on the early life history of fishes during recent years and it is widely recognised that a full understanding of this aspect of fish life history is vital to the study of fish biology, fisheries and aquaculture. This important new book brings together a vast wealth of information in this subject providing a text that will be of great use to upper level students of fisheries science and aquaculture.Each chapter of the book covers a topic traditionally taught in fisheries science courses, from the point of view of the importance of early life stages. The writing style of this well illustrated book is user-friendly and clear, providing a book that is of great value in the study of this core area. |
