Infos

Fascinating and instantly recognisable, flatfishes are unique in their asymmetric postlarval body form. With over 700 extant species recognised and a distribution stretching across the globe this group of fishes are of considerable research interest and provide a major contribution to recreational and commercial fisheries, and to aquaculture, worldwide. Flatfishes: Biology and exploitation is the only comprehensive and current book in the field and responds to the economic importance and growing body of research to produce an invaluable addition to the Fish and Aquatic Resources Series providing: Outlines of systematics, distribution, reproduction, recruitment, ecology and behaviour Descriptions of the major fisheries and their management Full coverage of recent advances in aquaculture and stock enhancement This book is essential reading for fish biologists; fisheries scientists; marine biologists; ecologists and environmental scientists; aquaculture personnel and government workers in fisheries and fish and wildlife departments. It should be found in all libraries of research establishments and universities where biology, fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, marine sciences, oceanography, ecology and environmental sciences are studied or taught.

Rezensionen

"A solid, up-to-date book that advanced students and researchscientists with interests in fish biology will find interesting anduseful." (Aquaculture International, August 2008)

"The result is a data-rich book that outlines much of what youmight ever want to know about flatfishes and more, but which alsounderscores how much more there is that remains unknown." (Fishand Fisheries, Vol 7, Issue 1, March 2006)

"The book is well presented with clear illustrations and is avaluable source of information for those with a general interest infish ecology or for the more specialist reader. You should makesure that your library has a copy." (Journal of FishBiology, 2006)

"This book provides the reader with an excellent and verypractical overview of the whole, global flatfish scene. It coverseverything from distribution, ecology and behaviour, throughmanagement, to aquaculture and stock enhancement. Anyone interestedin flatfish at whichever stage if the economic food chain shouldinvest in a copy immediately." (Ausmarine)
