"Bivalve Molluscs" is an extremely comprehensive book covering all
major aspects of this important class of invertebrates. As well as
being an important class biologically and ecologically, many of the
bivalves are fished and cultured commercially (e.g. mussels,
oysters, scallops and clams) in a multi-billion dollar worldwide
industry.
Elizabeth Gosling who has a huge wealth of research, teaching
and hands on experience working with bivalves, has written a
landmark book that will stand for many years as the standard work
on the subject. Chapters in "Bivalve Molluscs" cover morphology,
ecology, feeding, reproduction, settlement and recruitment, growth,
physiology, fisheries, aquaculture, genetics, diseases and
parasites, and public health issues. A full understanding of many
of these aspects is vital for all those working in bivalve
fisheries and culture.
An essential purchase for anyone concerned with this important
class of animals, copies of "Bivalve Molluscs" should be on the
shelves of biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists,
fisheries scientists and personnel within the aquaculture industry.
Copies of the book should be available in all libraries and
research establishments where these subjects are studied or
taught.
Elizabeth Gosling is based at the Galway-Mayo Institute of
Technology, Galway, Ireland.
