<strong>Fish</strong> Reproductive <strong>Biology</strong> <strong>and</strong>RecruitmentThe Link To Stock Assessment <strong>and</strong>ManagementEdited by T. Jakobsen, M. J. Fogarty, B. A. Megrey& E. MoksnessThe reproductive success <strong>and</strong> subsequent ‘recruitment’of young fish into the exploitable population is thesingle most important factor for determining annualabundance levels of fishes in major commercialfisheries. This important new book is to argue forstronger linkages between basic <strong>and</strong> applied researchon fisheries recruitment.The book is divided into four major sections. The firstsection introduces the reader to the recruitmentproblem <strong>and</strong> makes a case for the greater integrationof applied <strong>and</strong> basic research on fisheries recruitment,making these studies relevant to fisheries management.The second section provides information on fisheriesbiology, population dynamics <strong>and</strong> how these relate torecruitment. Section three discusses informationcritical to the rational <strong>and</strong> successful management <strong>and</strong>assessment of fisheries. The fourth section deals withthe incorporation of reproductive biology <strong>and</strong>recruitment considerations into management advice<strong>and</strong> strategies <strong>and</strong> ends with a chapter on futurepossibilities <strong>and</strong> new approaches.2006, 352 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 1405121262,9781405121262<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>AcousticsTheory <strong>and</strong> PracticeSecond EditionE.

It covers the underlying principles <strong>and</strong>current applications in fisheries research <strong>and</strong> outlinethe advantages <strong>and</strong> limitations of acoustic methods.This fully updated <strong>and</strong> revised edition contains muchinformation on new techniques, equipment <strong>and</strong> theiruse. It includes important information relating topractical problems of survey design, execution, <strong>and</strong>interpretation <strong>and</strong> is illustrated using examples drawnfrom acoustic surveys on commercially important fishspecies from many areas of the world.SERIES EDITOR: T J PITCHER2005, 456 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 063205994X,9780632059942<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong> Mismanagement**** NEW ****The Case of the North Atlantic CodRognvaldur Hannesson1996, 168 PAGES, PAPERBACK, 085238243X, 9780852382431Order online at www.blackwellfish.com<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong> Economics**** NEW ****Edited by Trond Bjorndal, Rashid Sumaila,D.V. Gordon & Ragaar Arnason<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong> Economics has been compiled in honour of thework <strong>and</strong> achievements of Professor Gordon Munro ofthe University of British Columbia, Canada. Thebook’s chapters each deal in detail with a major issuein the area of fisheries economics <strong>and</strong> management. Ithas been written by many of the world’s leadingfisheries economists <strong>and</strong> carefully edited by a teamheaded by Professor Trond Bjorndal.2006, 384 PAGES, ILLUSTRATED, HARDBACK, 1405141611,9781405141611<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong> ManagementProgress Toward SustainabilityEdited by Tim McClanahan & Juan Carlos CastillaThe book comprises a selection of carefully chosencase studies, from around the world, that have resultedin successful or improved management of fish stocks.The book commences with a chapter describing thestate of the world’s fisheries <strong>and</strong> the factors that haveled to global decline. This is followed by a series ofcase studies providing general principles that could beapplied to problem fisheries elsewhere.2007, 384 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 1405139323,9781405139328<strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong> OceanographyAn Integrative Approach to <strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>Ecology <strong>and</strong> ManagementEdited by P.

ParsonsFISH AND AQUATIC RESOURCES SERIES“This book is recommended as a good introduction to awide range of subject matter…The bibliography isextensive; it should be a treasure trove for those enteringthe field.The book should capture the interest of bothstudents <strong>and</strong> professionals seeking to strengthen thefoundation…for an integrative approach to fisheriesecology <strong>and</strong> management.” <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>This book provides vital information for fisheries,scientists, oceanographers, ecologists <strong>and</strong>environmental scientists, comprehensively covering thesubject of fisheries oceanography.2000, 360 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632055669,9780632055661<strong>Fish</strong>ery ScienceIN PREPARATIONThe Unique Contributionsof Early Life StagesEdited by Lee A. Fuiman &Robert G. WernerThere has been explosive growthin research on the early life historyof fishes during recent years <strong>and</strong> itis widely recognised that a fullunderst<strong>and</strong>ing of this aspect of fish TEXTBOOKlife history is vital to the study of fishbiology, fisheries <strong>and</strong> aquaculture. This important bookbrings together a vast wealth of information in thissubject providing a text that will be of great use to upperlevel students of fisheries science <strong>and</strong> aquaculture.2002, 336 PAGES, PAPERBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632056614,9780632056613<strong>Fish</strong>es <strong>and</strong>ForestryWorldwide WatershedInteractions <strong>and</strong>ManagementEdited by T.

These interactions also includethe aspects of forestry tied to human development,economics, population growth <strong>and</strong> even philosophies.2004, 800 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632058099,9780632058099<strong>Fish</strong>es in EstuariesEdited by M. Elliott & K. L. Hemingway“[This] should be the first book to be consulted byanyone, including fishers, scientists <strong>and</strong> managers,seeking information about estuarine fishes.” <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>and</strong><strong><strong>Fish</strong>eries</strong>“Provides a highly practical <strong>and</strong> valuable synthesis onfishes in estuaries…an excellent st<strong>and</strong>ard text.”Journal of <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>Biology</strong>Estuaries provide vital ecosystems for many species of fishto breed, grow, feed <strong>and</strong> migrate. These habitats areimportant relating to fish species that are takencommercially whilst either in the estuary, or in marine orfreshwater areas at other stages of their life cycle.In addition, estuarine habitats are amongst the mostthreatened environments <strong>and</strong> are subject to manyhuman impacts. This comprehensive book covers indetail the biology <strong>and</strong> exploitation of estuarine fishes<strong>and</strong> their habitats.2002, 656 PAGES, HARDBACK, ILLUSTRATED, 0632057335,9780632057337Food Intake in <strong>Fish</strong>Edited by D.
