Recreational Fisheries Fish and Aquatic Resources Series Series Editor: Tony J. Pitcher Director, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Canada The Blackwell Publishing Fish and Aquatic Resources Series is an initiative aimed at providing key books in this fast-moving fi eld, published to a high international standard. The Series includes books that review major themes and issues in the science of fi shes and the interdisciplinary study of their exploitation in human fi sheries. Volumes in the Series combine a broad geographical scope with in-depth focus on concepts, research frontiers and analytical frameworks. These books will be of interest to research workers in the biology, zoology, ichthyology, ecology and physiology of fi sh and the economics, anthropology, so- ciology and all aspects of fi sheries. They will also appeal to non-specialists such as those with a commercial or industrial stake in fi sheries. It is the aim of the editorial team that books in the Blackwell Publishing Fish and Aquatic Resources Series should adhere to the highest academic standards through being fully peer reviewed and edited by specialists in the fi eld. The Series books are produced by Blackwell Publishing in a prestigious and distinctive format. The Series Editor, Professor Tony J. Pitcher is an experienced international author, and founding editor of the leading journal in thefi eld of fi sh and fi sheries. The Series Editor and Publisher at Blackwell Publishing, Nigel Balmforth, will be pleased to discuss suggestions, advise on scope, and provide evaluations of proposals for books intended for the Series.
