The eel

Más información sobre el libro

A strong demand for an English version of the third German Edition of this important book led to this new translation, which includes over 500 new publications not covered in the previous English edition. This work serves as the standard reference on eels, featuring chapters on body structure and functions, developmental stages, distribution, post-larval ecology and behavior, harvest and environmental relationships, fishing methods, eel culture, diseases, parasites, bodily damage, world trade, and processing of eels. Contributions from several world authorities provide new insights into genetic diversity in eel populations and its management implications. Authored by Friedrich-Wilhelm Tesch, a leading expert on eels, and carefully edited by Professor Thorpe, a recognized figure in fish biology, this book is essential for professionals working with eels, including fish biologists, physiologists, ecologists, aquatic scientists, fisheries managers, and fish farm personnel. It should be available in libraries of research institutions and universities where these subjects are studied. The Fisheries Society of the British Isles supported the translation and publication of this landmark work.
