King Crabs of the World (eBook, ePUB)

Biology and Fisheries Management
Redaktion: Stevens, Bradley G.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the first comprehensive reference that discusses king crab systematics, anatomy, biology, life history, behavior, and fisheries management, bringing together published information from scattered sources, including data from obscure sources that are difficult to access and are not in English. The text also includes many first-hand observations and underwater photographs that have never been published. This book consolidates extensive professional knowledge into a single volume that will serve as a basis for education and research for many decades to come.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Bradley G. Stevens received his Ph.D. in fisheries science from the University of Washington in 1982. From 1984 to 2006, he worked for the National Marine Fisheries Service in Kodiak, Alaska, where he studied ecology and reproductive biology of commercial crab species, including king, Tanner, and snow crabs. In Alaska, he pioneered the use of submersibles and ROVs for the study of crab ecology and behavior, and initiated king crab aquaculture studies after a sabbatical in Japan. He is currently a professor of marine science at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, where he serves as distinguished research scientist for the NOAA-funded Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center. Dr. Stevens' research interests are the ecology and early life history of crustaceans and molluscs, with an emphasis on reproductive biology and postlarval processes.
