Beskrivning

The early life history of fish is of vital interest to biologists working with fish and fisheries. A full understanding of the developmental stages and processes involved is necessary to help avoid potential commercial losses in aquaculture systems, for example. This book brings together current knowledge of the growth of fish gonads, the endogenous feeding period and larval life, much of this work appearing here in the English language for the first time. Special attention is given to the effects of internal and external factors on growth rate and subsequent offspring quality with its effcts on aquaculture systems. As well as reviewing present information, the author also points out the relevance of our current knowledge to problems which will require further study in the future. "Early Life History of Fish" is aimed at all those with an interest in and working in the areas of fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, physiology and developmental biology.

'...this book is essential reading for marine ichthyologists! (The reviewer is certainly delighted to have a copy on his shelves.)...the book is full of useful information; it is quantitive, well written and well produced. It has an extensive bibliography, subject and species indexes, and a glossary. ...it should find a ready market with individual scientists as well as libraries.' Fisheries Research ' ...it contains a wealth of information obtained from an impressive array of sources...very useful reference text for researchers and advanced students of fish development and culture of these early and critical stages in fish. I predict that it will become a well-used reference text for postgraduate students in Aquaculture...a very useful text...easy to read...a good investment.' Aquaculture
