Sturgeons
Sturgeons provides the first comprehensive review of the biology, conservation and recovery of sturgeons, with a particular emphasis on the southern European species Acipenser nacarii and A. sturio.
Included in the book is a wide range of cutting edge information, from details of the molecular basis for taxonomic identification of sturgeon species, to coverage of sturgeons' developmental processes, physiology, biogeography, the management and control of sturgeon fisheries and the optimum commercialisation of sturgeon and caviar. Particular focus is given to the conservation and recovery of sturgeon in their natural environments and on the means of ensuring that both the sturgeons' recovery, and activities relating to its culture, may have a favorable impact on the environment and for the wider benefit of society.
Drawing together chapters provided by a number of important authors from Europe, Russia and North America, the book is an essential reference to all those working with sturgeon, particularly those involved in conservation issues, including fish biologists, fisheries scientists, aquaculture personnel, conservation biologists, ecologists and environmental scientists.
