| Summary: | Many fish species that occur in fresh water make journeys between habitats in response to seasonal changes, reproductive patterns, feeding needs and so on. Many workers are familiar with the migrations made by salmon and anguillid eels for example, but may be less so with many other freshwater species. This new title redresses this balance by providing comprehensive information on the nature and extent of migration by freshwater fishes, including diadromous species, world-wide. Covering topics such as the incidence and types of migration exhibited by freshwater fishes, the capacity and stimulus to migrate, the methods used to study the spatial behaviour of freshwater fishes, and applied issues of freshwater fish migration, this important book will be invaluable for a wide range of fish biologists and fisheries managers. |
