The Behavior, Ecology and Evolution of Cichlid Fishes
Author: Maria E. Abate
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9402420800
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 832
Book Description
This volume constitutes the most recent and most comprehensive consideration of the largest family of bony fishes, the Cichlidae. This book offers an integrated perspective of cichlid fishes ranging from conservation of threatened species to management of cichlids as invasive species themselves. Long-standing models of taxonomy and systematics are subjected to the most recent applications and interpretations of molecular evidence and multivariate analyses; and cichlid adaptive radiations at different scales are elucidated. The incredible diversity of endemic cichlid species in African lakes is revisited as possible examples of sympatric speciation and as serious cases for management in complex anthropogenic environments. Extreme hydrology and bathymetry as driver of micro-allopatric speciation is explored in the African riverine hotspot of diversity of the lower Congo River. Dramatic new molecular evidence draws attention to the complex taxonomy and systematics of Neotropical cichlids including the crater lakes of Central America. Molecular genetics, genomics, imaging tools and field study techniques assess the roles of natural, sexual and kin selection in shaping cichlid traits and beyond. The complex behavioral adaptations of cichlids are considered from a number of sub-disciplines including sensory biology, neurobiology, development, and evolutionary ecology. Most importantly, this volume puts forth a wealth of new interpretations, explanatory hypotheses and proposals for practical management and applications that will shape the future for these remarkable fishes in nature as well as their use as models for the study of biology.

Restoration and Management of Tropical Eutrophic Lakes
Author: M V Reddy
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1482294486
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
This book is an essential knowledge base for both ecological restoration and management. Although tropical lakes are not identical, and therefore require individually developed and restoration and management practices; there are general principles in both restoration and management that can be derived from the case histories in this book and the limnological literature in general.

Fish Stocks and Fisheries of Lake Victoria
Author: Frans Witte
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Fish stock assessment
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
"The results of eighteen years research on the fisheries of Lake Victoria are presented here in a single volume. The introduction is followed by sections dealing successively with fish and fisheries, methodologies for sampling, gear and boats, methods for monitoring fish stocks, management and processing of data, fishery statistics and methods for monitoring the fishery. It, therefore, proceeds logically from fish to fisherman, passing through the scientific administrative steps needed to acquire and interpret the data necessary to ensure good management. The main body of the text is complemented by appendices which provide specific biological information on the major fish species of Lake Victoria, including a detailed key."--BOOK JACKET.
