  • Advances in Marine Biology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26
    • English
    Volume 26 of this important series will be of particular interest to fish biologists. Haug's review of Atlantic halibut presents a complete summary of this important species both as a subject of a pelagic fishery and a developing aquaculture industry. Kjorsvik and his colleagues focus on the importance of egg quality for the mass production of fish fry. They point to a number of characters that may be indicative of egg quality and which may help to assess their likelihood of producing good fry.****Neilson and Perry review the studies of diel movements in fish and conclude that they are often facultative in nature. The implications for fish sampling are discussed.****Finall... Burd and Nemec examine the development of practical approaches towards the methods of analyzing benthic infauna, pointing out the assumptions and limitations of each.

  • Principal Diseases of Marine and Shellfish

    • 2nd Edition
    • Carl J. Sindermann
    • English
    This Second Edition has been expanded to two volumes, the first of which focuses on marine fish. Volume 1 reviews the important diseases of wild, captive, or cultivated fish species, fish immunology, the effects of disease on populations, and public health aspects of fish diseases. Fishery scientists and managers, marine biologists, marine ecologists, and marine aquaculturists will find this volume indispensable.

  • Advances in Marine Biology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25
    • English
    Volume 25 of this authoritative review series continues the high standard set by the editors in the past. Marine biologists everywhere have come to value and enjoy the wide variety of thought-provoking papers written by invited experts.In this volume are reviews of four animal groups which span the entire range of the marine food chain. The role of parasites in ecology is a growing interest and the parasites of zooplankton are described in detail for the first time. Aspects of thegastropods, cephalopods and fish life are also examined in detail.

  • Fish Vaccination

    • 1st Edition
    • Anthony E. Ellis
    • English
    Fish disease is a major economic threat to the aquaculture industry. One key to combating this problem is the successful development and utilization of vaccines.A glossary of terms is included as an appendix to the book.Fish immunologists and pathologists, fish farmers, students and teachers of aquaculture, and veterinarians will find this text an indispensible guide.

  • The Gray Whale: Eschrichtius Robustus

    • 1st Edition
    • Mary Lou Jones + 2 more
    • English
    The Gray Whale: Eschrichtius robustus provides an introduction to the understanding of Eschrichtius robustus or the gray whale. This book explores the life processes, reproduction, and growth of large cetacean populations. Organized into four parts encompassing 25 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the gray whale evolution, fossils, and subfossil remains, range, and systematics in historical times. This text then presents the historical of gray whale exploitation and the economic importance of these whales to humans. Other chapters consider the gray whale migration, abundance, and seasonal distribution in the wake of the California population's recovery from depletion. This book discusses as well the methods used in shore-based censuses during migration and in aerial surveys of gray whales taken on their winter grounds. The final chapter deals with some innovative approaches to the study of free-ranging cetaceans. This book is a valuable resource for anthropologists, paleontologists, biologists, and naturalists.

  • The Biology and Management of Lobsters

    Ecology and Management
    • 1st Edition
    • J. Stanley Cobb + 1 more
    • English
    This two-volume work presents a summary and review of the current state of lobster biology, ecology, physiology, behavior, and management. It emphasizes the biology of clawed lobsters (Nephropidae) and spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), with attention also given to slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and coral lobsters (Synaxidae).The first chapter of Volume 1 provides an overview of the general aspects of lobster biology that serves as an introduction for readers of both volumes. Subsequent chapters examine the topics of growth, neurobiology, reproduction, nutrition, pathology, social behavior, and migration patterns.The chapters in Volume II consider the ecology, population dynamics, fishery biology, and aquaculture of spiny and clawed lobsters. The topics selected in both volumes represent areas of current research whose findings have not been previously synthesized into a coherent form.An important feature of these volumes is the emphasis on the interaction between biology and management and culture. Many of the contributors have done research in both applied and basic biology and can articulate both points of view. The interaction between basic and applied research is of fundamental importance in these volumes in which management aspects of the research have been integrated with the basic biology of lobsters.The Biology and Management of Lobsterswill be of interest to crustacean biologists, marine biologists and ecologists, zoologists, physiologists, animal behavior researchers, aquaculturalists, fisheries biologists and managers of fisheries, neurobiologists, pathologists, and food scientists.
