The Blackwells Science Series on Fish and Aquatic Resources Series is an initiative aimed at providing key text in
this fast-moving field, published to a high international standard.
The Series includes books that review major themes and issues in the science of fishes and the interdisciplinary
study of their exploitation in human fisheries. Volumes in the Series combine a broad geographical scope with
in-depth focus in concepts, research frontiers and analytical frameworks. These books will be of interest to research
workers in the biology, zoology, ichthyology, ecology and physiology of fish, and economics, anthropology, sociology
and all aspects of fisheries. They will also appeal to non-specialist such as those with a commercial or industrial
stake in fisheries.
It is the aim of the editorial team that books in the Blackwells Science
Fish and Aquatic Resources Series should
adhere to the highest academic standards through being fully peer reviewed and edited by specialist in the field.
The Series books are produced by
Blackwells Science
in a prestigious and distinctive format. The Series Editor,
Dr Tony J. Pitcher
is an experienced international author, and founding editor of the leading review journal
for the field of fish and fisheries. The Series Editor and the publisher at Blackwells Science,
Nigel Balmforth,
will be pleased to discuss suggestions, advise on scope, and provide evaluation of proposals for books intended
for the Series.
Kluwer Academic from Dordrecht, Holland, publishes a series of books covering topics in the science of fish and
fisheries. The series was formerly published by Chapman & Hall.
Former Series editor:
Dr Tony J. Pitcher.
There are 24 volumes in the series.
The Kluwer
Fish and Fisheries Series aimed to present timely reviews of important aspects of fish biology and
their exploitation. Most volumes are of interest to research workers in biology, zoology, ecology and physiology
but an additional aim is for the books to be accessible to a wide spectrum of non-specialist readers ranging from
undergraduates and postgraduates to those with an interest in industrial and commercial aspects of fish and fisheries.
