The Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries has been
written by an international team of scientists and practitioners,
to provide an overview of the biology of freshwater and marine fish
species together with the science that supports fisheries
management and conservation.
The first volume, subtitled Fish Biology, reviews a broad
variety of topics from evolutionary relationships and global
biogeography to physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics,
foraging, reproductive behaviour and community ecology. Volume two,
subtitled Fisheries, builds on the material from volume one,
focusing on a wide range of topics including the history of
fisheries science, methods of capture, marketing, economics, major
models used in stock assessments and forecasting, ecosystem
impacts, marine protected areas and conservation.
Together, these books present the state of the art in our
understanding of fish biology and fisheries and will serve as
valuable references for undergraduates and graduates looking for a
comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fisheries
science. They will also be useful to researchers who need
up-to-date reviews of topics that impinge on their fields, and
decision makers who need to appreciate the scientific background
for management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.
