Although a commercially and recreationally important fish species, the management and scientific knowledge about sea trout has often been overshadowed by a focus on the salmon.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The final product is significant contribution to the body of knowledge for this species. This book serves as a valuable resource...and is an informative reference book for anyone interested in the biology, conservation, and management of anadromous salmonids." (Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, November 2008)

Book Description

The sea trout is an important fish species both commercially and recreationally but until recently it has been largely neglected and overshadowed by interest in salmon. In July 2004 a major international conference was convened, attracting world class international scientists who have contributed to this most important volume. The contents are broadly divided into four sections covering: stocks and fisheries; genetics and life history; ecology and population dynamics; and managing stocks and world fisheries. The book is an essential purchase for many fisheries managers and fish biologists.
