Eels at the Edge: Science, Status, and Conservation Concerns

Editors Casselman (biology, Queen's U., Ontario) and Cairns (Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Prince Edward Island, Canada) have included research papers presented at the 2003 International Eel Symposium of the American Fisheries Society in this volume for fellow researchers and scientists who are interested in the status and conservation of these marine animals. Expert contributors discuss the science, ecology and life history of eels in regions such as Japan, Taiwan, Europe and the Chesapeake Bay while offering sessions on migration patterns, ecological barriers and stock assessments. A reprint of the Québec Declaration of Concern, courtesy of Fisheries magazine, is also included. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
