Recent decades have witnessed strong declines in fish stocks around
the globe, amid growing concerns about the impact of fisheries on
marine and freshwater biodiversity. Fisheries biologists and
managers are therefore increasingly asking about aspects of
ecology, behaviour, evolution and biodiversity that were
traditionally studied by people working in very separate fields.
This has highlighted the need to work more closely together, in
order to help ensure future success both in management and
conservation.
The Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries has been
written by an international team of scientists and practitioners,
to provide an overview of the biology of freshwater and marine fish
species together with the science that supports fisheries
management and conservation.
The first volume, subtitled Fish Biology, reviews a broad
variety of topics from evolutionary relationships and global
biogeography to physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics,
foraging, reproductive behaviour and community ecology. Volume two,
subtitled Fisheries, builds on the material from volume one,
focusing on a wide range of topics including the history of
fisheries science, methods of capture, marketing, economics, major
models used in stock assessments and forecasting, ecosystem
impacts, marine protected areas and conservation.
Together, these books present the state of the art in our
understanding of fish biology and fisheries and will serve as
valuable references for undergraduates and graduates looking for a
comprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fisheries
science. They will also be useful to researchers who need
up-to-date reviews of topics that impinge on their fields, and
decision makers who need to appreciate the scientific background
for management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems.

"A must for any library maintaining holdings on fish, fisheries,
fish management, or conservation. It is the best review of the
state of the art available and should be mandatory review reading
for fish managers everywhere." G L Hendrickson, Humboldt State
University for CHOICE, May 2003

"The 54 authors have compressed a vast seascape of modern
fisheries knowledge into two eminently readable volumes, very
successfully meeting their goal of integrating fish biology with
fisheries science... Chapter after chapter, I was pleasantly
surprised at the clarity and simplicity of these excellent
overviews. Full credit goes to the editors .... who have skilfully
crafted these chapters into elegant coherence...I have been
recommending these books wholeheartedly to my colleagues and plan
to have copies in each of our regional offices." Michael G
Sullivan, Fish and Wildlife Division, Government of Alberta in
Fish and Fisheries, March 2004
