Infos

A strong demand for an English version of the third German Edition
of this extremely important book paved the way for this excellent
new translation, which contains much new information from over 500
publications, not covered by the previous English language
edition.

The Eel is the standard work on the species with chapters
in the book covering body structure and functions, developmental
stages and distribution of the eel species, post-larval ecology and
behaviour, harvest and environmental relationships, fishing
methods, eel culture, diseases, parasites and bodily damage, the
world trade in eels and eel processing. Contributions are included
from several world authorities including new information concerning
genetic diversity in eel populations and the consequences for their
management.

Written by Friedrich-Wilhelm Tesch, one of the foremost world
authorities on eels and carefully edited by Professor Thorpe, well
known for his work in fish biology, writing and editing, The
Eel is an essential purchase for all those working with the
species, including fish biologists, physiologists and ecologists,
aquatic and environmental scientists, fisheries managers and fish
farm personnel. Copies of this landmark publication should be
available in the libraries of all research establishments and
universities where these subjects are studied or taught.

The Fisheries Society of the British Isles provided generous
financial support enabling the translation and publication of this
book.

Written by F-W Tesch; Translated from the German Edition
by R. J. White; Edited by J. E. Thorpe

Rezensionen

"This is a new translation of an extremely important book. The Eel
is the standard work on the genus...It is essential reading and a
reference for scientists and aquaculturists, eel fishermen, angling
clubs and river managers...A fascinating book, even for a lay
person, it answers so many questions that one has about this
'slippery creature'."
