Interrelationships Between Corals and Fisheries

Beschreibung

There is extensive concern about the impact of fishing on coral reef structure and, conversely, the impact of decreasing coral on fisheries. Written by a team of notable authorities in coral reef research and fisheries management, this book examines the short- and long-term consequences of trends in coral health for fisheries. It addresses current and emerging threats as well as challenges and opportunities for managing corals and associated fisheries. Its inclusive coverage makes this an important resource for both researchers and environmental resource managers.
