The genus Perca includes only three species of fish, but they are
ubiquitous and abundant in freshwater and brackish environments of
the northern hemisphere, from North America to Europe and Asia.
These species are important both ecologically and economically. In
Biology of Perch, world-renowned specialists review and update the
biology of these fish. The book opens with a review of the genetic
makeup of this complex assemblage from early post-glacial
dispersion to the colonization of new habitats. The influences of
geomorphological and biological factors on the dispersal of yellow
perch (Perca flavescens) are explored. Two case studies exploit
unique historical databases to follow population dynamics of yellow
perch and European perch (P. fluviatilis) and to demonstrate how
fisheries and habitat management can drastically influence the fate
of fish populations. Three other chapters are dedicated to the
general reproductive physiology, parasitology, and behavior of
Perca species. The third species, the Balkhash perch (P.
schrenkii), is a rare and threatened species of the Balkans, and a
chapter is dedicated to its biology. The book ends with a review of
the use of Perca species around the world as sentinels of
ecological integrity and biomonitors in ecotoxicological studies.
