They are endemic to Eastern North America where they form part of a multi-million dollar sports fishing industry, but they have also been widely introduced around the globe by recreational anglers, in aquaculture programs and by government fisheries agencies. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCentrarchid Fishes\u003c\/i\u003e provides comprehensive coverage of all major aspects of this ecologically and commercially important group of fishes. Coverage includes diversity, ecomorphology, phylogeny and genetics, hybridization, reproduction, early life history and recruitment, feeding and growth, ecology, migrations, bioenergetics, physiology, diseases, aquaculture, fisheries management and conservation. Chapters have been written by well-known and respected scientists and the whole has been drawn together by Professors Cooke and Philipp, themselves extremely well respected in the area of f\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction - Diversity of centrarchid fishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEcomorphology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhylogenetic relationships and genetics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHybridization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReproduction and parental care.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlternative reproductive tactics and sociobiology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEarly life history and recruitment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFeeding, nutrition, and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePopulation and community ecology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMovement and migrations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBioenergetics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOrganismal performance, tolerances, and physiological constraints.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWinter ecology of centrarchid fish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImmunocompetancy and disease.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in centrarchid aquaculture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in centrarchid management and conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatterns in centrarchid ecological diversity – conclusions and a research agenda\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407871058263,"sku":"9781405133425","price":197.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/centrarchid-fishes-9781405133425","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
