Fishery Science The Unique Contributions of Early Life Stages

There has been explosive growth in research on the early life history of fishes during recent years and it is widely recognised that a full understanding of this aspect of fish life history is vital to the study of fish biology, fisheries and aquaculture. This important new book brings together a vast wealth of information in this subject providing a text that will be of great use to upper level students of fisheries science and aquaculture. Each chapter of the book covers a topic traditionally taught in fisheries science courses, from the point of view of the importance of early life stages. The writing style of this well illustrated book is user-friendly and clear, providing a book that is of great value in the study of this core area.
