Quantitative Fish Dynamics

Klappentext This book serves as an advanced text on fisheries and fishery population dynamics and as a reference for fisheries scientists. It provides a thorough treatment of contemporary topics in quantitative fisheries science and emphasizes the link between biology and theory by explaining the assumptions inherent in the quantitative methods. The analytical methods are accessible to a wide range of biologists! and the book includes numerous examples. The book is unique in covering such advanced topics as optimal harvesting! migratory stocks! age-structured models! and size models. Zusammenfassung Intended as an advanced text in fisheries and their population dynamics, this book provides coverage of contemporary topics in quantitative fisheries science and emphasizes the link between biology and theory by explaining the assumptions inherent in the quantitative methods.
