Fisheries Oceanography and Ecology

Fisheries oceanography deals with those aspects of oceanography which can be of practical use in commercial fishing, fisheries management and fisheries ecology. So this book summarizes in concise and easily read form, the principal results of research in fisheries oceanography and marine fish ecology during the last eight decades. It describes the influence of various environmental conditions such as temperature and currents, on fish behaviour and on fishery resources. One of the author's main objectives is to show how the results of research can benefit fishing and the book will be of value to skippers, fisheries managers, and administrators as well as to fisheries biologists and students.
