Fishery Science
It is now clear that data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of unique contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and management of fish populations, including those of commercially important fisheries. This valuable book demonstrates why fish eggs and larvae are important, how the characteristics of early life stages require a somewhat different research approach and how information on early life stages can be applied and interpreted to yield unique insights into fish populations. The editors of Fishery Science have drawn together an extremely useful and well-written book with contributions from internationally respected researchers fro...
Introduction to the Practice of Fishery Science, Revised Edition
Revised and updated, Royce's Introduction to the Practice of Fishery Science is a classic text. With a new chapter on aquaculture, this book provides the background for a first course in fishery science. Intentionally focused on the practical and professional requirements of careers in the management and maintenance of fisheries, this text will be useful to students as well as to established professionals.
On the Sex of Fish and the Gender of Scientists
Daniel Pauly is the most widely cited fisheries scientist of his generation. On the Sex of Fish and the Gender of Scientists comprises an edited and updated collection of 27 of Daniel Pauly's essays, spanning a great range of exciting and sometimes controversial topics, many of them breaking new scientific ground.
Introduction to the Practice of Fishery Science
Introduction to the Practice of Fishery Science covers the role of fishery science in various social affairs. This book is divided into three parts encompassing 15 chapters. Part I is about the profession, what is embodied in a professional career and the expanding challenges to the profession, with a summary of the work of organizations that employ fishery scientists. Part II deals with the traditional sciences that apply to the aquatic environment and its organisms. This part also tackles their biology, ecology, populations, and culture. Part III presents an overall qualitative concept of the activity of fishery scientists. This part also provides a perspective on fishery problems in several major areas and the ways in which the many kinds of scientists are attacking them. This book will prove useful to fishery scientists, researchers, and students.
Introduction to the Fishery Sciences
Introduction to the Fishery Sciences provides a broad introduction into the study of aquatic organisms and ecology of fisheries and some of the legal, social, and political aspects of their use. The book is intended to be used by students and those who want to broaden their knowledge on the science of fishery. The text provides discussions on a wide range of topics such as trends in foodfish production; managing of fishery aquatic environment; identification and classification of fishery resources; and fishery resource management. Limnologists, freshwater biologists, ecologists, fisheries managers, and students in fisheries science will find the book a good reference material.
Recruiting Fishery Scientists
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) employs many fishery scientists with diverse skills. The agency finds that the supply of fishery biologists is adequate to meet most of its demand. However, increasing demands on the agency to understand fish populations and the social and economic conditions in fishing communities have created a need for additional experts in the fields of fisheries stock assessment and social sciences. NMFS has developed plans for meeting its anticipated staff needs in stock assessment and social sciences and asked the National Research Council (NRC) to convene a workshop to discuss the plans and suggest other actions the agency might take to ensure an adequate supply of experts in these fields. Approximately 30 individuals gathered in Woods Hole, Massachusetts on July 17, 2000 under the auspices of the NRC's Ocean Studies Board to discuss NMFS' plans. This document summarizes the presentations and discussions at that one-day workshop. No attempt was made to reach consensus among the participants; thus, the suggestions recorded in this summary represent the personal views of workshop participants, as summarized by NRC staff.
Advances in Fisheries Science
This timely book brings readers up to date on the wide range of advances made in fisheries science since the publication in 1957 of On the Dynamics of Exploited Fish Populations (Beverton and Holt), regarded by many fisheries scientists as one of the most important books on fisheries yet published. Traditional fishery subjects covered include historic declines and changes in fishing fleets, fisheries management and stock assessments, data-poor situations, simulation and modelling of fished stocks, fisheries economics, assessing reproductive potential and dispersal of larvae, fisheries for sharks and rays, and use of marine technology. Additionally, related subjects of increasing importance n...
Applied Fishery Science
The Present Book Applied Fishery Science Is The Outcome Of The Intensive Efforts Made By The Author For More Than Five Consecutive Years To Bring The Universally Spread Documented Informations And Data, Both Traditional As Well As Research Oriented Recent Findings, Before The Scientific World In A Consolidated Form, Specially Before Those Who Are Concerned With Fish Farming And For Capture Of Fishes From Varied Water Sources. Several Valuable Informations Have Been Provided On The Fish Farming Requisites, Such As Methods Of The Quality Fish Seed Procurement, Their Safe Transportation, Design And Layout For The Construction Of New Ponds, Maintenance Of Required Water Quality In The Ponds, Ava...
Scaling Fisheries
In this 1994 book, Tim Smith examines the economic and political pressures which have affected fisheries science, and the problems that still face it. This is a fascinating resource for all those interested in the way fisheries science has developed in the last 150 years.
Stock Identification Methods
Stock Identification Methods, 2e, continues to provide a comprehensive review of the various disciplines used to study the population structure of fishery resources. It represents the worldwide experience and perspectives of experts on each method, assembled through a working group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The book is organized to foster interdisciplinary analyses and conclusions about stock structure, a crucial topic for fishery science and management. Technological advances have promoted the development of stock identification methods in many directions, resulting in a confusing variety of approaches. Based on central tenets of population biology and man...
