This book was released on 2000 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clupeoid species are important ecological components within marine and riverine ecosystems of the Gulf of Maine. This report summarizes information (1953-1995) for eight species of c1upeid fishes (Clupeidae) and two species of anchovy (Engraulidae) occurring in the Gulf of Maine. Accounts are presented for Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), Atlantic thread herring (Opisrhonema oglinum), Atlantic round herring (Etrumeus teres), Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), Hickory shad (Alosa mediocris), American shad (A. sapidissima), Alewife (A. pseudoharengus), Blueback herring (A. aestivalis), Bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) and Striped anchovy (Anchoa hepsetus). Identification keys to families, genera and species are provided. Systematic, biological, ecological, distributional and fisheries data are summarized for each species, with emphasis on data derived from populations in the Gulf of Maine. Whenever possible, natural and human-induced environmental factors affecting populations of clupeoid species in the Gulf are discussed. An extensive bibliography of the literature on these species is also provided, with special concentration on populations occurring in the western Atlantic. Recent declines in abundance, especially of anadromous species and the Atlantic herring, are discussed relative to environmental and fishery practices, as well as the conservation measures being afforded these species. Although considerable information is available for most c1upeoid species occurring in the Gulf of Maine, significant gaps in our information remain for some species. Information needs should be addressed to improve understanding of the population biology and ecological interactions of these species within Gulf of Maine communities.

Book excerpt: Fascinating and instantly recognizable, flatfishes are unique in their asymmetric postlarval body form. With over 800 extant species recognized and a distribution stretching around the globe, these fishes are of considerable research interest and provide a major contribution to commercial and recreational fisheries worldwide. This second edition of Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation has been completely revised, updated and enlarged to respond to the ever-growing body of research. It provides: • Overviews of systematics, distribution, life history strategies, reproduction, recruitment, ecology and behaviour • Descriptions of the major fisheries and their management • An assessment of the synergies between ecological and aquaculture research of flatfishes. Carefully compiled and edited by four internationally-known scientists and with chapters written by many world leaders in the field, this excellent new edition of a very popular and successful book is essential reading for fish biologists, fisheries scientists, marine biologists, aquaculture personnel, ecologists, environmental scientists, and government workers in fisheries and fish and wildlife departments. Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation, Second Edition, should be found in all libraries of research establishments and universities where life sciences, fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, marine sciences, oceanography, ecology and environmental sciences are studied and taught. Reviews of the First Edition • A solid, up-to-date book that advanced students and research scientists with interests in fish biology will find interesting and useful. Aquaculture International • A data-rich book that outlines much of what you might ever want to know about flatfishes. Fish & Fisheries • Well presented with clear illustrations and a valuable source of information for those with a general interest in fish ecology or for the more specialist reader. You should make sure that your library has a copy. J Fish Biology • An excellent and very practical overview of the whole, global flatfish scene. Anyone interested in flatfish at whichever stage of the economic food chain should invest in a copy immediately. Ausmarine • Because of the high quality of each chapter, written by international experts, it is a valuable reference. Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries

Book excerpt: This book presents all Malacostracan cructaceans occurring in the Baltic Sea in water salinity from 2 to 15 psu. The Baltic sea is very special due to its low salinity and characteristic fauna. For each of the 58 species the systematic position, the origin and distribution in European waters are given, and the environmental preferences, the role in the food web and human economy described. The book describes the history of the Baltic sea and the occurrence of crustaceans in its history against the terms of hydrological conditions, explaining why in the Baltic sea only part of all marine crustaceans occur. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and beautiful pictures of animals specifically prepared for this book.
