| Summary: | "This timely book provides reviews and recent research on the biology, conservation, and management of paddlefish. Paddlefish are a unique species found throughout the Mississippi River drainage that are managed as a sport and commercial fish in some states, but are considered protected or a species of special concern in other states. The 27 chapters range from an overview of the biology of the species to specific studies on paddlefish propagation, ecology, and management. In addition, chapters that emphasize new information related to genetic conservation and propagation and the potential effects of invasive species on paddlefish provide updated information on the status, threats, and conservation of paddlefish in the United States. This book will be a valuable reference for anyone working on paddlefish conservation and management."--Publisher's description. |
