This important title encompasses features of genetic processes incomplexly organised population systems of salmonids, one of themost commercially valuable families of fish worldwide. Translatedfrom the original work in Russian, the authors have taken theopportunity to update and revise the work, much of it appearing inthe English language for the first time.
Covering such important concepts as optimal gene diversity andthe unfavourable influence of fishery and hatchery reproduction onthe genetic structure of salmon populations, the authors have drawntogether a huge wealth of information that will form thecornerstone of much new work in the future.
The authors of Salmonid Fishes have between them manyyears of research experience and practical knowledge in the areaand the English translation of this important work, which has beenedited by Professor John Thorpe and Professor Gary Carvalho,provides vital information for all those involved in salmonidmanagement, exploitation and conservation, including fishbiologists, fisheries managers, conservation and populationbiologists, ecologists and geneticists.
