This clearly  written text  offers insight into a topic of increasing  importance--the wise  utilization and management of sea fisheries to  maximize production  without exceeding their carrying capacity.  Adoption of the  approaches presented will improve the conservation  and management of  the many world fisheries that are suffering from  years of inefficient  practices. The book is divided into five  sections, beginning with an  introduction to the ocean environment and  the various resource  species.  Part two examines fisheries biology,  including age, growth,  fecundity, and mortality, enabling readers to  appreciate yield models  designed to give estimates of maximum  sustainable yield and maximum  economic yield.  The third part covers  gear, methods, and landings  and includes material on the handling and  processing of seafood as  well as aquaculture.  In part four, yield  models are presented to  introduce students to theories on population  dynamics, stock  assessment, and management.  The book concludes with  coverage of  recreational fisheries, including socioeconomic  importance, catch and  effort research, management techniques, and  their interface with  commercial fisheries. Living Marine Resources is  an invaluable  introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduate  and graduate  students of fisheries science.  In addition, the  material presented  will be valuable to fishery and social scientists,  fishery officers  and administrators, and students in biology,  engineering, economics,  and law.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461285137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461285137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1211-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 404\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340584415372,"sku":"9781461285137","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461285137_3130353e-296a-4b90-970e-ac57d41c4e31.jpg?v=1755045264","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461285137","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
