Teleost fishes account for nearly half of all known vertebrate species.
They have representatives in virtually all aquatic systems and an
enormous variety in the ways they live. Moreover, teleost fishes support
subsistence and commercial fisheries and aquaculture systems throughout
the world.
The second edition of this highly respected book retains the aims and
structure of the first edition, emphasizing the responses of individual
fish to their environment and the consequences of these responses for
the population and community to which the individuals belong.
Fully updated and rewritten, this new edition of Ecology of Teleost
Fishes offers a thorough and integrated approach to the area and is
essential reading for all students of fish biology and ecology,
fisheries science and aquaculture. Fish biologists, fisheries
scientists, ecologists and researchers in fish population studies,
genetics and aquaculture will also find this book to be an invaluable
reference source.
