Recensioner i media

"There is no one better to synthesize more than a century of research on behavior and ecology of Pacific salmon and trout. Quinn has marshalled his extensive experience in conducting salmon and trout research from Alaska to New Zealand to produce a technically comprehensive, highly readable, and beautifully illustrated volume as befits these noble fishes." * Quarterly Review of Biology * "The Behavior and Ecology of Pacific Salmon and Trout has rightly been described as a classic... It shows us exactly how in the right hands a huge volume of detailed and complex research can be presented in a manner that is highly authoritative and at the same time highly engaging." * Environmental Biology of Fishes *
