Fishing is a major form of ecological disturbance to aquatic
communities throughout the world. In the past, many fisheries
biologists have concentrated on the study of direct effects of
fishing on stocks of target species and understanding the processes
of recruitment. However, there is now a growing appreciation of the
ecological imp0licaitons of the wider effects of fishing activities
on aquatic organisms and their habitats.
The editors of this important book have drawn together an
impressive collection of internationally-recognized experts in
these areas of research. Coverage includes: the physical effects o
fishing gears on the seabed; distribution of and trends in fishing
effort; ecological effects on benthic fauna; long-term community
changes; the effects of food subsidies in the marine environment;
conservation methods and the socio-economic implications and
mechanism for reducing the impacts of fisheries.
This comprehensive book will be an invaluable reference source
for all those studying and researching in the areas of fisheries
science, fish and aquatic biology and environmental science, marine
biology, oceanography and ecology.
