This topical and exciting textbook describes fisheries
exploitation, biology, conservation and management, and reflects
many recent and important changes in fisheries science. These
include growing concerns about the environmental impacts of
fisheries, the role of ecological interactions in determining
population dynamics, and the incorporation of uncertainty and
precautionary principles into management advice. The book draws
upon examples from tropical, temperate and polar environments, and
provides readers with a broad understanding of the biological,
economic and social aspects of fisheries ecology and the interplay
between them. As well as covering 'classical' fisheries science,
the book focuses on contemporary issues such as industrial fishing,
poverty and conflict in fishing communities, marine reserves, the
effects of fishing on coral reefs and by-catches of mammals,
seabirds and reptiles. The book is primarily written for students
of fisheries science and marine ecology, but should also appeal to
practicing fisheries scientists and those interested in
conservation and the impacts of humans on the marine
environment.
