Springer Ecology of Teleost Fishes: 24 - Fish & Fisheries Series

Teleost fishes represent nearly half of all known vertebrate species, inhabiting virtually every aquatic environment with remarkable diversity in behaviour and ecology. This second edition of the authoritative reference explores how individual fish respond to their surroundings and the cascading effects these responses create within populations and communities. Fully updated and rewritten throughout, this Springer publication maintains its respected focus on teleost ecology whilst incorporating contemporary research and insights. Essential for students, researchers, and professionals in fisheries science, aquaculture, and freshwater and marine biology, the book provides comprehensive coverage of the ecological principles governing these economically and ecologically vital organisms that support subsistence fisheries, commercial operations, and aquaculture systems worldwide.
