Reviews for Fishes in Estuaries
"This book is impressive because it is so comprehensive and yet usable... Fishes in Estuaries should be the first book to be consulted by anyone, including fishers, scientists and managers, seeking information about estuarine fishes, and should be on all their bookshelves!" Fish and Fisheries "It is anticipated that the findings of this book could be used to provide ecologically based guidelines for the preservation, restoration, and management of fish populations... this book would be a useful addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in estuarine fishes." Copeia "This book provides a highly practical and valuable synthesis on fishes in esturies... It provides the reader with a good starting point to the wealth of divers information on the subject. Its logical layout means that the book is easy to dip onto to find the desired pointers. As such, it is an excellent standard text and will be widely used." Journal of Fish Biology
