Migration of Freshwater Fishes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Many fish species that occur in fresh water make journeys between habitats in response to seasonal changes, reproductive patterns, feeding needs and so on. Many workers are familiar with the migrations made by salmon and anguillid eels for example, but may be less so with many other freshwater species. This new title redresses this balance by providing comprehensive information on the nature and extent of migration by freshwater fishes, including diadromous species, world-wide. Covering topics such as the incidence and types of migration exhibited by freshwater fishes, the capacity and stimulus to migrate, the methods used to study the spatial behaviour of freshwater fishes, and applied issues of freshwater fish migration, this important book will be invaluable for a wide range of fish biologists and fisheries managers.

Rezensionen

"...a source of detailed information on freshwater fish migrations,particularly given its taxonomic and geographical breadth, thisvolume will prove to be exceedingly valuable." (American Societyof Ichthyologists and Herpetologists)

"This is an excellent, well researched and presented text thatprovides solid information on a subject of increasing importance toour knowledge of fish populations in freshwater systems."(Fish)

"Many know about salmon, but few know as much about freshwaterfish movements as is contained in this volume. Therein lies itsvalue." (Fish and Fisheries)

"This text is almost certainly the most comprehensive andup-to-date one there is on the subject of freshwater fish migrationand it is bound to become the standard reference work for manyyears." (Fisheries Research)
