Advances in Fisheries Science brings readers up to date on the wide range of advances made in fisheries science since the publication in 1957 of On the Dynamics of Exploited Fish Populations.

In Advances in Fisheries Science several chapters offer stimulating philosophical discussion of the many controversial areas still existing.
