Stock Identification Methods, 2e, continues to provide a comprehensive review of the various disciplines used to study the population structure of fishery resources. It represents the worldwide experience and perspectives of experts on each method, assembled through a working group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. The book is organized to foster interdisciplinary analyses and conclusions about stock structure, a crucial topic for fishery science and management. Technological advances have promoted the development of stock identification methods in many directions, resulting in a confusing variety of approaches. Based on central tenets of population biology and management needs, this valuable resource offers a unified framework for understanding stock structure by promoting an understanding of the relative merits and sensitivities of each approach. - Describes 18 distinct approaches to stock identification grouped into sections on life history traits, environmental signals, genetic analyses, and applied marks - Features experts' reviews of benchmark case studies, general protocols, and the strengths and weaknesses of each identification method - Reviews statistical techniques for exploring stock patterns, testing for differences among putative stocks, stock discrimination, and stock composition analysis - Focuses on the challenges of interpreting data and managing mixed-stock fisheries

The author spent much of 1989 and 1990 living within the Muscovite community and came into contact with people at all levels, from pimps to philosophers. He provides a portrait of a society which is struggling to survive the traumas and changes of the Gorbachev years. In some ways more medieval and Oriental than modern and Western, Moscow is a city in which tales of flying saucers and masonic conspiracies co-exist with endless queues, corruption, anti-semitism and a black market in guns. Durden-Smith also discovered in Moscow an intellectual passion and energy which puts most Western capitals to shame and which makes Moscow not only one of the most important, but also one of the most complex, contradictory and fascinating cities on earth.

The book on "General Ichthyology" deals with air-breathing fishes which have evolved on several occasions. Evolution of the first bony fishes during the late Silurian and Devonian period produced two new features, lobe fins and the lung fishes. Animals inhabiting the water/air interface show many morphological and physiological adaptations designed with different types of function in that unique environments. In the present age there are new challenges. These include climatic change and contamination of the environment by anthropogenic activities. The subject matter has been delineated in 13 (Thirteen) chapters: Evolutionary Biology, Origin of Fishes, Evolution of Air-breathing Habit in Vertebrates, Morphometrics of the respiratory organs, Evolutionary Transformations of the Respiratory Islets of Air-breathing Organs in Teleostean Fishes, Chloride cells in the Gills of Fresh water teleosts, Respiratory Surface Area Metabolism relationship in Air-breathing Fishes of India, Water/Air Transition in Biology, Structure of the heart of Amphipnous cuchia and their vasculature of the head and respiratory organs. Histochemistry and Functional Organisation, Fine Structure of the Respiratory Organs, Cytology of Macrophages in normal and mercury treated air-breathing fish, Oxygen Uptake and Phylogeny. The book will interest students and research workers in the filed of General Ichthyology.
