The following section covers life cycles, growth, physiological ecology, reproductive strategies and early life histories. There follows a section on ecology, which provides details of slope and shelf species, oceanic and deep sea species, population ecology, trophic ecology and cephalopods as prey. The final section of the book deals with fisheries and ecological interactions, with chapters on fishing methods and scientific sampling, fisheries resources, fisheries oceanography and assessment and mana\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This splendid book offers much more than what its title seems to promise! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wider biological background is explained in a sequence of lucidly structured, superbly illustrated chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe authors have perfectly succeeded in writing a book for students and researchers as well as for lay readers interested in marine zoology.
