Fish are one of the most important global food sources, supplying a
significant share of the world's protein consumption. From stocks
of wild Alaskan salmon and North Sea cod to entire fish communities
with myriad species, fisheries require careful management to ensure
that stocks remain productive, and mathematical models are
essential tools for doing so. Fish Ecology, Evolution, and
Exploitation is an authoritative introduction to the modern size-
and trait-based approach to fish populations and communities. Ken
Andersen covers the theoretical foundations, mathematical
formulations, and real-world applications of this powerful new
modeling method, which is grounded in the latest ecological theory
and population biology. He begins with fundamental assumptions on
the level of individuals and goes on to cover population demography
and fisheries impact assessments. He shows how size- and
trait-based models shed new light on familiar fisheries concepts
such as maximum sustainable yield and fisheries
selectivity-insights that classic age-based theory can't
provide-and develops novel evolutionary impacts of fishing.
Andersen extends the theory to entire fish communities and uses it
to support the ecosystem approach to fisheries management, and
forges critical links between trait-based methods and evolutionary
ecology. Accessible to ecologists with a basic quantitative
background, this incisive book unifies the thinking in ecology and
fisheries science and is an indispensable reference for anyone
seeking to apply size- and trait-based models to fish demography,
fisheries impact assessments, and fish evolutionary ecology.
