The authors have based their experiences and results of ecosystems simulation in the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center in Seattle but its application is universal. They take a synthetic look at the total marine ecosystem showing ways of utilizing all accumulated knowledge about it and how to apply this knowledge in the quantitative simulation of the ecosystem for the evaluation of fishery resources and their management by modern methods. This therefore is a useful manual for ecosystem simulation, fisheries research and management, as well as a valuable textbook on the marine ecosystem and its processes.

Marine Fisheries Ecosystem: Its Quantitative Evaluation and Management

Science & Math

Laevastu, Taivo

Biological Sciences

Fisheries oceanography deals with those aspects of oceanography which can be of practical use in commercial fishing, fisheries management and fisheries ecology. So this book summarizes in concise and easily read form, the principal results of research in fisheries oceanography and marine fish ecology during the last eight decades. It describes the influence of various environmental conditions such as temperature and currents, on fish behaviour and on fishery resources. One of the author's main objectives is to show how the results of research can benefit fishing and the book will be of value to skippers, fisheries managers, and administrators as well as to fisheries biologists and students.

Fisheries Oceanography and Ecology

Earth Sciences

This book grew out of Professor Von Brandt's lifetime devotion to the study of fishing gears and catching methods from prehistoric times to the present. In it, he shows how the main components of early methods - netting, lines, hooks, floats and sinkers - are still in common use even though their efficiency has been improved. His extensive travels have enabled him to include examples from many eras and many different parts of the world, and his descriptions are enhanced by numerous illustrations. The author describes gears in logical sequence from the most primitive gathering methods to the possible use of fully-automated harvesting machines totally operated by computers. Also, it has developed a rational classification system for the multitude of fish devices and techniques. Although this has been done in a scholarly way, the text is enlivened by anecdotes. This book should be of interest to everyone concerned with commercial fisheries, as well as sport fishermen and all those with an interest in fish or its capture.

Fish Catching Methods of the World (Fn106)

Brandt, Andres Von

Technology

<p>The primary purpose of this book is to disseminate the knowledge needed for designing improved small fishing vessels. It has been structured to cover items which need to be taken into account, working in easy stages from background material to the specification for a finished design. The book takes the reader through general principles to factors specific to fishing vessels.</p>

This fourth edition reflects the changes which continually affect trout farmers. It starts with the life history of the rainbow trout and the various rearing methods before going on to consider in greater detail hatching and fry production, disease, hygiene, food and feeding, broodstock management and trout farming in saltwater and freshwater cages. The production of fish for put-and-take fisheries, pollution from fish farms, aspects of design and equipment, and fish processing are also considered. A chapter on markets and profitability concludes the book. This is a practical book based on many year's involvement in fish farming in different countries.

Trout Farming Handbook

Nature & Ecology

The discovery of new diseases and improved methods of diagnosis necessitated production of this greatly expanded and updated version of a classic handbook. The book covers the culture, anatomy and husbandry of salmonids, infectious diseases and diagnosis on the farm, diseases of eggs, sac-fry, early geeding, growers and marine culture, nutritional diseases, fish kills, diseases of wild fish and brood stock, prevention and treatment. The fist edition was successful because it did not presuppose any prior knowledge of fish biology or pathology and used common names where they would not cause confusion. It was valuable to fish breeders, proved a unique reference source for scientists and was a recommended test for students at many levels.

Shepherd, C. Jonathan

<p>First written for training purposes, this book provides a basic introduction to the important fishing methods of the world and the gear used in them. It has also become an invaluable primer for anyone becoming involved with the fishing industry and needing practical guidance on the fish catching gear and methods. The types described include bottom otter trawling, bottom pair trawling, side trawling, stern trawling, multi-rig trawling, mid-water trawling, dredging, purse seining and seine netting, gill nets, traps, longlines and pots, trolling, harpooning, pole and line and liftnetting. The book has been updated and redesigned with the addition of many new pictures.</p>
