This is excellent for anyone in, or new to, the field who want an all- inclusive reference on the diversity of marine fish, their behaviors, their role in marine food webs as well as their human and environmental impacts on marine fish, such as pollutants and climate change. The book takes an historical approach to discussing spatial and temporal patterns of fish populations to the changing patterns of the present.
Each chapter provides and in-depth review of the science behind marine fish populations and the methodological tools to the study them.
