Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS including; marketing, management, and stock assessment. The commercial fisheries chapters are mostly aimed at fishermen and fisheries scientists. Part three is labelled conservation and management, which would better have been titled management and conservation to reflect the emphasis given. Conservation here refers to the management and regulation of the fishery as a sustainable resource, rather than in the broader sense of nature conservation. This is rather unfortunate as the bass provides an interesting and well publicized example of a species uniquely vulnerable within the estuarine environment. There is only one section on threats to the fishes and their environment and this chapter only briefly mentions human impacts. This could have been expanded in view of recent debates on bass conservation and the dramatic changes in the stocks that have been recorded in recent years. The effects (both good and bad) of power stations on bass populations could have been explored in a wider context without losing focus on the subject. This section finishes with a consideration of the regulations needed of bass fisheries and puts forward management proposals for such a fishery and the difficulties encountered in arriving at international agreement.
