The sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is an important species commercially, and increasing competition between sport anglers and commercial fisheries for bass stocks has resulted in a degree of over-exploitation in some areas. The authors of this book review the present state of knowledge and present the scientific background to the assessment and management of the bass fishery. The opening section of the book looks in detail at the biology, distribution, behaviour and ecology of the species, including a look at diseases affecting the species. The second section of the book covers exploitation, including full details of the rapidly increasing subject of aquaculture, sports fisheries, commercial fisheries, assessment and valuation, marketing and impact of fishing. The final section of the book details the conservation, management and future of bass fisheries. This book should be of interest to fisheries workers, aquaculturists, fish biologists and all those involved in the commercial exploitation of the species and research into its biology.

'To date little summary information on sea bass has been available, but this gap has been neatly filled by the publication of this solid, comprehensive monograph on the species' biology, exploitation, and conservation...edge of and passion for the sea bass show throughout this volume...there are few aspects of sea bass biology that are not covered at some level in this book...'
