Elizabeth Gosling who has a huge wealth of research, teaching
and hands on experience working with bivalves, has written a
landmark book that will stand for many years as the standard work
on the subject. Chapters in Bivalve Molluscs cover
morphology, ecology, feeding, reproduction, settlement and
recruitment, growth, physiology, fisheries, aquaculture, genetics,
diseases and parasites, and public health issues. A full
understanding of many of these aspects is vital for all those
working in bivalve fisheries and culture.
An essential purchase for anyone concerned with this important
class of animals, copies of Bivalve Molluscs should be on
the shelves of biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists,
fisheries scientists and personnel within the aquaculture industry.
Copies of the book should be available in all libraries and
research establishments where these subjects are studied or
taught.
Elizabeth Gosling is based at the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Galway, Ireland.
