Smartt“Well illustrated with precisedrawings <strong>and</strong> colourful plates,<strong>and</strong> should be of greatinterest.” <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>There is intense interest in the goldfish not only inEurope <strong>and</strong> North America but also in Japan <strong>and</strong> theFar East. The number of varieties is enormous <strong>and</strong> thispractical manual will be welcomed not only byprofessional breeders but also researchers <strong>and</strong>enthusiastic amateur breeders.It has recently been realised that goldfish arepolyploid; previous attempts to analyse inheritancepatterns on a diploid model were therefore onlypartially successful. This new text is, perhaps, the firstattempt to explain the genetics of a polyploid fish.2001, 224 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0852382650,9780852382653H<strong>and</strong>book of <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>Biology</strong> <strong>and</strong><strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>Edited by Paul J.
