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.
This volume, subtitled Fisheries, focuses 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. It builds on material in Volume 1, Fish
Biology, which ranges from phylogenetics and biogeography to
physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics, foraging,
reproductive behaviour and community ecology.
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.

* * Provides a unique overview of the study of fish biology and
ecology, and the assessment and management of fish populations and
ecosystems.
* The first volume concentrates on aspects of fish biology and
ecology, both at the individual and population levels, whilst the
second volume addresses the assessment and management of fish
populations and ecosystems.
* Written by an international team of expert scientists and
practitioners.
* An invaluable reference tool for both students, researchers and
practitioners working in the fields of fish biology and
fisheries.

Tentang Penulis
Paul J.B. Hart is a Reader in the Department of Biology,
University of Leicester, UK. His research focuses on the role of
trophic ecology and competition in fish speciation and on the
management of commercial marine fisheries. His publications include
a co-authored textbook Fisheries Ecology (1982) and he has
co-edited The Impact of Species Changes in African Lakes
(1995) and Reinventing Fisheries Management (1998). He is
co-editor of the review journal, Fish and Fisheries
(Blackwell Science) and he is a past President of the Fisheries
Society of the British Isles.
John D. Reynolds is a Professor of Evolutionary Ecology
at the University of East Anglia, UK. His research examines the
evolution of reproductive behaviour and life histories, with an
emphasis on conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. He has
co-authored a textbook, Marine Fisheries Ecology (2001), has
co-edited Conservation of Exploited Species (2001) and is
co-editor of the journal, Animal Conservation. He was
awarded the FSBI medal of the Fisheries Society of the British
Isles in 2000.
