| ► Description: |
The
technological advances of the last twenty
years have brought huge advances in our
understanding of the deep sea and of the
species inhabiting this elusive and
fascinating environment. Synthesising the
very latest research and discoveries, this
is a comprehensive and much-needed account
of deep-sea fishes. Priede examines all
aspects of this incredibly diverse group of
animals, reviewing almost 3,500 species and
covering deep-sea fish evolution, physiology
and ecology as well as charting the history
of their discovery from the eighteenth
century to the present day. Providing a
global account of both pelagic and demersal
species, the book ultimately considers the
effect of the growing deep-sea fishing
industry on sustainability. Copiously
illustrated with explanations of the
deep-sea environment, drawings of fishes and
information on how they adapt to the deep,
this is an essential resource for
biologists, conservationists, fishery
managers and anyone interested in marine
evolution and natural history. |
