Modern North American sturgeons and paddlefish are the result of 100 million years of evolution. This book details the extensive science aimed at helping these remarkable species recover from the brink of extinction, and describes the historical, biological, and ecological importance of North American sturgeon and paddlefish.
The subject index, species index and the abundant illustrations add extra value to this long awaited book.Developmental Biology of Teleost Fishes will be a valuable tool for scientists and students in the fields of biology, developmental biology, molecular biology and fish biology.
Emphasis is placed on phylogenetic relationships among the recognised species of cichlid fish and the distribution ecology of lake and river-living species. The book also discusses feeding, sexual and parental care behaviour and communication.
The book focuses on three major themes of pressing importance in the analysis of the role that the early life history of fishes plays in the number and quality of recruits: the selective processes at play in their early life history;
The Chapman and Hall Fish and Fisheries Series occasionally includes books devoted to a single taxon of fish that are of particular interest to fish and fisheries science.
This book describes in general how the chemosensory systems of fish function at various levels. The last major synthesis of our knowledge about fish chemoreception, Chemoreception in Fishes, was published ten years ago (Elsevier, Amsterdam, 1982).
Fish biologists, fisheries scientists, ecologists and researchers in fish population studies, genetics and aquaculture will also find this book to be an invaluable reference source.
Reef fish spawning aggregations, ranging from small groups to many tens of thousands of individuals, are spectacular but poorly known natural phenomena whereby fish assemble at specific times and locations to spawn.
Examines the use of underwater sound for the study of fish for research purposes and in commercial fisheries, with an emphasis on fish stock assessment. Covered are underlying principles and current applications in fisheries research and advantages and limitations of the methods.
However, our understanding of their bi- ogy still resembles a work of art as much as a work of science. To some it appears like the sweeping brush strokes of a Japanese Zen landscape, to others it resembles the work of a French impressionist, and to still others it appears as magic realism.
Modern North American sturgeons and paddlefish are the result of 100 million years of evolution. This book details the extensive science aimed at helping these remarkable species recover from the brink of extinction, and describes the historical, biological, and ecological importance of North American sturgeon and paddlefish.
With its comprehensive view of the biology and sustainable development of sturgeons, this book studies the 'living fossil' fish, putting emphasis on Southern Europe species such as Acipenser nacarii and Acipenser sturio that share geographical distribution.
Pike and related fish form an important part of aquatic ecosystems and are also commercially very valuable. This title provides full coverage of the biology, ecology and exploitation of this important group of fish and will be invaluable for fisheries scientists, fish biologists, aquatic scientists, ecologists and environmental scientists.
Judged by a dismaying track record and a consequent downturn in the reputation of fisheries scientists, fisheries management is certainly a candidate for calls for reinvention, with many of the world leaders in this area holding the view that no fishery has ever been properly understood or managed.
Atlantic salmon and brown trout evolved in the Atlantic basin, Atlantic salmon in North America and Europe, brown trout in Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia.

Tropical estuaries are among the most modified and threatened of aquatic environments, supporting innumerable fisheries essential to the regions in which they occur.
Referred to in the Bible, pictured on the wall-friezes of ancient Egyptian tombs, and a subject of fascination for generations of scientists, the tilapias (Cichlidae: Tilapiini) have featured in the diet and culture of humankind for thousands of years.
Provides a thorough introduction to the biology of fishes, covering basic diversity, biology and physiology. Detailed coverage of environmental aspects relating to fish biology is a key feature of this book which will be of great use to students and individuals in fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture and environmental sciences.
For two decades the idea of governments and fishers working together to manage fisheries has been advocated, questioned, disparaged and, most importantly, attempted in fisheries from North and South America through Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
Fisheries science in North America is changing in response to a changing climate, new technologies, an ecosystem approach to management and new thinking about the processes affecting stock and recruitment.

The Chapman & Hall Fish and Fisheries Series aims to present timely volumes reviewing important aspects of fish biology.

This book looks in detail at the relationship of fish to the food they eat, their growth and responses to the environment. The book will be of interest to a wide range of fish biologists (including upper level students), particularly those involved with aquaculture, fish feed and the environment.
This book deals with the bottom-living fishes of the world's largest ecosystem, the deep-sea. The interaction of the ecology of the species involved (examples include orange roughy, grenadier, Greenland halibut and black scabbardfish) with fishing practices and management regimes is then discussed.
This book covers the biology, exploitation and conservation of the sea bass, a species of major commercial importance. Sea Bass will be an invaluable reference work for fisheries workers, fish biologists and aquaculturists involved and interested in the biology and exploitation of this important species.
