Book Description
Excerpt from Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology Bulletin, Vol. 1: June 1928 For some time the Museum has felt the need of some medium by means of which those interested in its work and expansion could be kept in more intimate touch with its activities. It is perhaps not sufficiently realized to what an extent the develop ment of a Museum of Zoology depends on the active interest of those persons in the community for whom natural history has a special appeal. A Museum is a public institution. Its collections of beautiful and interesting objects, the creations of man and of nature are maintained for the enjoyment and education of the public. It is therefore the duty of the interested public to give some thought to the enlargement and improvement of its collection. It is the aim of the series of bulletins, of which this is the first, to keep those interested in the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology informed as to happenings and accomplishments in its field of work. For the present at least the bulletin will appear only at irregular intervals, although it is hoped that with the increase of the Museum's staff and financial resources it may develop into a regular periodical.

Book Description
Recent decades have witnessed strong declines in fish stocks aroundthe globe, amid growing concerns about the impact of fisheries onmarine and freshwater biodiversity. Fisheries biologists andmanagers are therefore increasingly asking about aspects ofecology, behaviour, evolution and biodiversity that weretraditionally studied by people working in very separate fields.This has highlighted the need to work more closely together, inorder to help ensure future success both in management andconservation. The Handbook of Fish Biology and Fisheries has beenwritten by an international team of scientists and practitioners,to provide an overview of the biology of freshwater and marine fishspecies together with the science that supports fisheriesmanagement and conservation. This volume, subtitled Fish Biology, reviews a broadvariety of topics from evolutionary relationships and globalbiogeography to physiology, recruitment, life histories, genetics,foraging behaviour, reproductive behaviour and community ecology.The second volume, subtitled Fisheries, uses much of thisinformation in a wide-ranging review of fisheries biology,including methods of capture, marketing, economics, stockassessment, forecasting, ecosystem impacts and conservation. Together, these books present the state of the art in ourunderstanding of fish biology and fisheries and will serve asvaluable references for undergraduates and graduates looking for acomprehensive source on a wide variety of topics in fisheriesscience. They will also be useful to researchers who needup-to-date reviews of topics that impinge on their fields, anddecision makers who need to appreciate the scientific backgroundfor management and conservation of aquatic ecosystems. To order volume I, go to the box in the top right hand corner.Alternatively to order volume II, go to:http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/book.asp?ref=063206482X or toorder the 2 volume set, go to:http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/book.asp?ref=0632064838. Provides a unique overview of the study of fish biology andecology, and the assessment and management of fish populations andecosystems. The first volume concentrates on aspects of fish biology andecology, both at the individual and population levels, whilst thesecond volume addresses the assessment and management of fishpopulations and ecosystems. Written by an international team of expert scientists andpractitioners. An invaluable reference tool for both students, researchers andpractitioners working in the fields of fish biology andfisheries.
