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. |
