<DIV class=productDetail-richDataText>Centrarchid fishes, also known as
freshwater sunfishes, include such prominent species as the Largemouth Bass,
Smallmouth Bass and Bluegill. They are endemic to Eastern North America where
they form part of a multi-million dollar sports fishing industry, but they have
also been widely introduced around the globe by recreational anglers, in
aquaculture programs and by government fisheries agencies.<BR>
<P><I>Centrarchid Fishes</I> provides comprehensive coverage of all major
aspects of this ecologically and commercially important group of fishes.
Coverage includes diversity, ecomorphology, phylogeny and genetics,
hybridization, reproduction, early life history and recruitment, feeding and
growth, ecology, migrations, bioenergetics, physiology, diseases, aquaculture,
fisheries management and conservation. Chapters have been written by well-known
and respected scientists and the whole has been drawn together by Professors
Cooke and Philipp, themselves extremely well respected in the area of fisheries
management and conservation. <BR><I></I></P>
<P><I>Centrarchid Fishes</I> is an essential purchase for all fish biologists,
ecologists, fisheries managers and fish farm personnel who work with centrarchid
species across the globe </P>
