"The economic importance of fishes and their societal and culturalrelevance provide powerful incentives for large-scale, sustainedstudies of their dynamics"
--the Editors
The overall goal of this book is to give a picture of thepresent use of information on fish reproductive biology inassessment and management and its potential for improvingmanagement of these resources.
Compiled by an international team of authors, each an expert intheir field, this exceptional volume is divided into three majorsections:
* Biology, population dynamics, and recruitment
* Information critical to successful assessment andmanagement
* Incorporation of reproductive biology and recruitmentconsiderations into management advice and strategies
Including over 100 diagrams, this book is essential reading forall fisheries scientists. Libraries in universities and researchestablishments where this subject is studied and taught should havecopies on their shelves.
"As one author put it: the goal is to facilitate a 'dialoguebetween assessment scientists and biologists.' Readers of anyspecialty should accept this challenge, and this book is anexcellent resource to aid them."

"This book would certainly be an excellent choice for a reading course. ... This is the kind of book that challenges the dogma of introductory courses as well as the methods professionals use to address familiar problems. Each chapter provides personal perspectives, highlights emerging case histories, and illuminates the background conversations that go on at professional conferences and assessment workshops." (Fisheries, March 2010)
