The burbot has a unique ecology as the only member of the order of
cod-like fishes found in freshwater. It is the second most widely
distributed freshwater fish in the Northern Hemisphere, variously
threatened, extinct or thriving across different parts of this wide
paleoarctic range. Burbot were driven to extinction from Britain
most probably in the 1970s, the last recorded specimen caught in
1969 in Cambridgeshire. Particularly over the past decade, a large
body of work has addressed potential reintroduction of the burbot
to Britain. The burbot's diverse habitat and other needs throughout
its life stages also mean that the species is a flagship for a
diversity of other wildlife of restored river systems, and of the
human benefits that these ecosystems can provide. Burbot is an
excellent source for all those involved in freshwater fish and
fisheries management, conservation and exploitation, including fish
biologists (ichthyologists), environmental scientists, freshwater
biologists, fisheries managers and scientists, conservation
biologists, engineers and hydrologists. The libraries of all
universities and research establishments where these subjects are
studied and taught should have a copy. Anglers and all those
interested in fishes and natural history will also benefit from
this book.
