Summary

There has been explosive growth in research on the early life history of fishes during recent years and it is widely recognised that a full understanding of this aspect of fish life history is vital to the study of fish biology, fisheries and aquaculture. This important new book brings together a vast wealth of information in this subject providing a text that will be of great use to upper level students of fisheries science and aquaculture. Each chapter of the book covers a topic traditionally taught in fisheries science courses, from the point of view of the importance of early life stages.
