As well as being an important class biologically and ecologically, many of the bivalves are fished and cultured commercially (e.g. mussels, oysters, scallops and clams) in a multi-billion dollar worldwide industry.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Gosling has written a landmark book that will stand for many years as the standard work on the subject. Chapters in \u003ci\u003eMarine Bivalve Molluscs\u003c\/i\u003e cover morphology, ecology, feeding, reproduction, settlement and recruitment, growth, physiology, fisheries, aquaculture, genetics, diseases and parasites, and public health issues. A full understanding of many of these aspects is vital for all those working in bivalve fisheries and culture.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential purchase for anyone concerned with this important class of animals, copies of \u003ci\u003eMarine Bivalve Molluscs\u003c\/i\u003e should be on the shelves of biologists, ecologists, environmental scientists, fisheries scientists and personnel within the aquaculture industry. Copies of the book should be available in all libraries and research establishments where these subjects are studied or taught.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eREVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn admirable achievement…a valuable addition to marine sciences libraries everywhere.
