Fish reproductive biology: implications for assessment and management

The reproductive success and subsequent recruitment of young fish into the exploitable population is the single most important factor for determining annual abundance levels of fishes in major commercial fisheries. The objective of this important new book is to argue for stronger linkages between basic and applied research on fisheries recruitment. INDICE: Chapter 1. Introduction (Tore Jakobsen, Michael J.
