Beschreibung
Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespreadexistence of spatio-temporal variations in the abundance anddistribution of species of freshwater fishes, previously assumednot to move between habitats. These movements are often on aseasonal or ontogenetic basis, for spawning, feeding and refuge,and in many cases are fundamental for the successful completion oflifecycles.
This important book provides a single source for a range ofpreviously widely dispersed information on these movements of fishin fresh waters, covering potamodromous fishes as well as the morefamiliar diadromous species, worldwide. Contents include fulldescriptions of types of migration and spatial behaviour, thestimulus and capacity for fish to migrate, the effects of climateon patterns of migratory behaviour, a taxonomic analysis (mostly byfamily) of freshwater fish migration, methods for studyingmigration, and details of the impacts of man's activities onfreshwater fish migration.
Migration of Freshwater Fishes provides an excellent andcomprehensive reference to which the river manager, biologist orstudent can now refer to obtain information, advice and currentopinion on the migratory behaviour of most taxonomic groups offishes occurring in fresh water. University libraries and aquaticresearch stations should also have copies of this essentialreference book on their shelves.
* Well-known international authors.

* Draws together much new information in one place.
* Detailed review of world wide migratory behaviour for mostgroups of freshwater fishes.
* Pure and applied relevance, for academics, fisheriesscientists, river managers and conservationists.

Stimmen zu »Migration of Freshwater Fishes«
"...a source of detailed information on freshwater fish migrations,particularly given its taxonomic and geographical breadth, thisvolume will prove to be exceedingly valuable." (American Societyof Ichthyologists and Herpetologists)
"This is an excellent, well researched and presented text thatprovides solid information on a subject of increasing importance toour knowledge of fish populations in freshwater systems."(Fish)
"Many know about salmon, but few know as much about freshwaterfish movements as is contained in this volume. Therein lies itsvalue." (Fish and Fisheries)
"This text is almost certainly the most comprehensive andup-to-date one there is on the subject of freshwater fish migrationand it is bound to become the standard reference work for manyyears." (Fisheries Research)
