This book presents a definitive volume on perch and related fish. First of all the order Perciformes, which includes the Nile perch, basses, sunfish and cichlids, is described, but the bulk of the book reviews the biology of perch, walleye and zander. Special emphasis is placed on population dynamics and fisheries. The final part of the book considers other genera which are economically unimportant but of ecological interest, particularly the darters of North America. This book should be of interest to anyone involved with the field of fisheries, marine biology, aquabiology and fish management.
