Living Marine Resources provides a thorough, up-to-date
introduction to all aspects of fisheries science. This clearly
written text offers insight into a topic of increasing
importance--the wise utilization and management of sea fisheries to
maximize production without exceeding their carrying capacity.
Adoption of the approaches presented will improve the conservation
and management of the many world fisheries that are suffering from
years of inefficient practices. The book is divided into five
sections, beginning with an introduction to the ocean environment
and the various resource species. Part two examines fisheries
biology, including age, growth, fecundity, and mortality, enabling
readers to appreciate yield models designed to give estimates of
maximum sustainable yield and maximum economic yield. The third
part covers gear, methods, and landings and includes material on
the handling and processing of seafood as well as aquaculture. In
part four, yield models are presented to introduce students to
theories on population dynamics, stock assessment, and management.
The book concludes with coverage of recreational fisheries,
including socioeconomic importance, catch and effort research,
management techniques, and their interface with commercial
fisheries. Living Marine Resources is an invaluable introduction to
the subject for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of
fisheries science. In addition, the material presented will be
valuable to fishery and social scientists, fishery officers and
administrators, and students in biology, engineering, economics,
and law.
