Synopses & Reviews
What are the consequences of climatic changes, of the weather, and of man-orientated activities on the sea, its resources and fishing operations? What are the likely effects on distribution, resources and availability of species of fish, crustaceans and molluscs? How does fish behaviour change? These are just a few of the many questions and issues which are raised and answered in this new and authoritative work which is based on the critical analyses of a wealth of scientific experimentation and research. This new book summarises the present state of knowledge of the effects and manner of influence of surface weather processes on the ocean and on the behaviour, availability and abundance of fishery resources.
