This book deals with the bottom-living fishes of the world's
largest ecosystem, the deep-sea. After a brief review of the
oceanographic setting, the diversity and ecology of this unique
ichthyofauna are considered in detail. The book goes on to deal
explicitly with slope fisheries, both developed and developing. The
interaction of the ecology of the species involved (examples
include orange roughy, grenadier, Greenland halibut and black
scabbardfish) with fishing practices and management regimes is then
discussed. An ecological framework for management is necessary for
the resources to be sustainable it is argued, rather than simply
extending approaches used on the Continental Shelf to the deep-sea.
