'It is a book aimed at meeting the requirements of colleges and university students - a task it fulfills splendidly...this book is excellently well written and illustrated with 130 figures and 20 tables on 455 pages. Not only will students find pleasure in reading this book but anyone who has worked in specific fields of fish biology and is interested in fish and the question - 'how does it work?"

It really meets the requirements of college and university students, as is promised in the preface. And I would like to add that it also meets my requirements to brush up my knowledge and to help in teaching fisheries biology and ecology.' Limnologica '...this information-packed book is a very useful introduction to the environmental biology of fishes.' Aquaculture
