Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2 Volume Set

"A must for any library maintaining holdings on fish, fisheries, fish management, or conservation. It is the best review of the state of the art available and should be mandatory review reading for fish managers everywhere." G L Hendrickson, Humboldt State University for CHOICE, May 2003

"...an excellent starting point for graduate students, and a good handbook to have in a reference collection that stresses fish biology and fisheries management." E-Streams, June 2003

"This will be an invaluable reference tool for students, researchers and practitioners working in the fields of fish biology and fisheries." Reference Reviews, Volume 17 (5), July 2003

"The 54 authors have compressed a vast seascape of modern fisheries knowledge into two eminently readable volumes, very successfully meeting their goal of integrating fish biology with fisheries science... Chapter after chapter, I was pleasantly surprised at the clarity and simplicity of these excellent overviews. Full credit goes to the editors .... who have skilfully crafted these chapters into elegant coherence...I have been recommending these books wholeheartedly to my colleagues and plan to have copies in each of our regional offices." Michael G Sullivan, Fish and Wildlife Division, Government of Alberta in Fish and Fisheries, March 2004
