Quantitative Ecology and the Brown Trout

This book provides for the first time a synthesiws of quantitative information on the ecology of the brown trout including sea-trout and comparisons with closely related species such as the Atlantic salmon Pacific salmon and rainbow trout. Much of this work especially the case studies is relevant to general problems in quantitative animal ecology as well as to fisheries management. One theme emphasized throughout is the development testing and use of realistic mathematical models as important tools for conservation and management of fish and other animals.
