Ecology of Marine Fish

Ecology of Marine Fish offers updated reviews of the current knowledge on the ecology of marine fish. This book is an all-inclusive reference on the diversity of marine fish, their behaviors, their role in marine food webs, as well as the human and environmental impacts on marine fish, such as pollutants and climate change. The book takes a historical approach to discussing spatial and temporal patterns of fish populations and introduces the changing patterns that are currently taking place. Each chapter provides an in-depth review of the science behind marine fish populations and the methodological tools to study them. With contributions from nearly 100 worldwide experts on fish ecology, this book will be an excellent resource for anyone in the fisheries sector, including scientists and researchers, fisheries managers, marine resource managers, marine biologists, fish farmers, marine ecologists, policy makers, leaders and regulators, operations researchers, as well as students and faculty studying marine fish ecology.
