Fishes in Estuaries [PDF ebook] 

This landmark publication collates information and studies on the
use of estuaries, and specific habitats within them, as nursery,
feeding and refuge areas, and migration routes of marine and other
fish, many of which are of commercial and conservation importance.
The editors and authors of the book have carefully compiled a huge
wealth of information from the work of 18 organizations across 11
countries, providing a unique collection of data never before
brought together within the covers of one book.
Chapters within this exceptional publication cover habitat use
by fishes, recruitment and production in estuaries, links between
fish and other trophic levels, endangered and rare species,
estuarine development and restoration, environmental quality of
estuaries and the management of estuarine fishes. The book notably
contains extensive chapters on field methods and data analysis.
Fishes in Estuaries is an essential tool and reference
source for fisheries and environmental managers, fish biologists,
environmental scientists, aquatic ecologists and conservation
biologists. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where biological sciences are studied and taught
should have copies of this book on their shelves, as should
personnel employed in regulatory and consultant capacities, such as
within rivers authorities, environment agencies and fish and
wildlife departments.
