EBFM by reviewing regional case studies, new analytical tools and practical approaches
to future progress; and offer advice for implementing EBFM. The collection describes
some of the pioneering efforts by scientists and policy makers to consider components
of marine ecosystems as a way to improve sustained yields and conservation of marine
fishes and invertebrates.Purchase a copy online for $75, or download individual chapters for $2.50 each.
