The Biology And Fisheries of the Slipper

Written by international experts, this reference covers the biology, ecology, behavior, physiology, evolutionary history, and genetics of the family Scyllaridae. It includes coverage of fishing methods and regulations, size composition of catches, fisheries management, and distribution of those species that are targeted directly or as by-product in other fisheries. The text includes an identification key for final stage phyllosomas, figures of phyllosomal characters, and figures of most of the species as adults. The book takes a comparative approach to understanding fisheries in different regions of the world and explains which management plans have failed and which have succeeded.
