LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2022 'A remarkable and powerful
book, the rarest of things ... Nicolson is unique as a writer ... I
loved it' EDMUND DE WAAL Few places are as familiar as the shore -
and few as full of mystery and surprise. How do sandhoppers inherit
an inbuilt compass from their parents? How do crabs understand the
tides? How can the death of one winkle guarantee the lives of its
companions? What does a prawn know? In Life Between the Tides, Adam
Nicolson explores the natural wonders of the shoreline, from the
extraordinary biology of its curious animals to the flow of our
human history. This is an invitation to the water, where marvellous
things wait an inch below the surface. Previously published as The
Sea is Not Made of Water
Salmon are one of the most popular and commonly eaten fish and are
among the most important fishery resources in the world. They are
born and die in fresh water but can live in both fresh water and
seawater where they migrate between rivers and oceans, showing
amazing abilities to home to their natal stream precisely. However,
their dynamic life cycles and mysterious abilities of natal stream
imprinting and homing migration are not well understood.
Physiological Aspects of Imprinting and Homing Migration in Salmon:
Emerging Researches and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source
that introduces the dynamic and complicated life cycle of salmon
connected with fish migration and climate changes and presents
physiological mechanisms of natal stream imprinting and homing in
salmon with special references to hormone, olfaction, memory, and
behavior. Additionally, salmon resources concerning salmon
commercial fisheries, aquaculture, and global propagation systems
are discussed. This book is ideally designed for ichthyologists,
environmentalists, pisciculture professionals, fisheries, marine
biologists, scientists, researchers, academicians, and students
seeking coverage on one of the most integral species of fish in the
world.
