Description
Book SynopsisThe impact of pollution on fisheries and the potential health implications of eating contaminated fish are areas of considerable concern for the fishing and aquaculture communities, government bodies and the general public. Pollution, as well as over fishing, may well be contributory to recent serious declines in global fish stocks.
Trade Review"This book will be an important resource for environmental toxicologists and fishery biologists. Postgraduates and researchers new to the field will also find the book invaluable. For others, working within narrow specialist fields, it provides an insight into the wider impacts that pollution in fish can cause."
Journal of Fish Biology, Vol. 67, October 2005 "The main readership of the book will be fish physiologists and environmental biologists with interests in aquatic ecophysiology and ecotoxicology."
