EDITORIAL REVIEWS

Product Description
This book serves as an advanced text on fisheries and fishery population dynamics and as a reference for fisheries scientists. It provides a thorough treatment of contemporary topics in quantitative fisheries science and emphasizes the link between biology and theory by explaining the assumptions inherent in the quantitative methods. The analytical methods are accessible to a wide range of biologists, and the book includes numerous examples. The book is unique in covering such advanced topics as optimal harvesting, migratory stocks, age-structured models, and size models.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 4 reviews)

This is THE reference for quantitative fish biologists!  
This is a well organized book that includes relevant real-world examples and all the latest in contemporary population dynamics. Aside from an appalling cover design, this book is a winner!

The good book...  
This is the book -I- keep on the nightstand. Covers a broad base of contemporary population dynamics with relevant examples. Disregarding the insipid cover design, its an essential addition to any biologist's library

An everyday reference for fishery managers and modelers.  
This one is a keeper! A comprehensive masterpiece of the world of dynamic fish populaton modeling. Excellent examples using a multitude of fish species makes this book a must for anyone involved in fishery research or management into the new millenium. I give the books content 5 stars although I, also, would like to see the release of a new book jacket.

A thorough review of fish population dynamic modeling  
An excellent resource for anyone involved in the world of fisheries stock assessment or population dynamics. I only give it 4 stars because of the poor cover design.
