Résumé :
|
Data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and management of fish populations, including those of commercially important fisheries. The book demonstrates why fish eggs and larvae are important, how the characteristics of early life stages require a somewhat different research approach and how information on early life stages can be applied and interpreted to yield unique insights into fish populations. Contributions from researchers from North America, Asia and Europe. Chapters include a discussion of the nature of early life stages, age and growth, mortality, recruitment, populations analysis, habitats, human impacts and management. A set of case studies demonstrates several specific applications of early life history information to a number of fishery problems.
