Fish Atlas of the Celtic Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea: Based on International Research-vessel Surveys

Fish Atlas of the Celtic Sea, North Sea, and Baltic Sea: Based on International Research-vessel Surveys by Henk J. L. Heessen, Niels Daan, Jim R. Ellis
2015 | ISBN: 9086862667, 9050115373 | English | 572 pages | PDF | 101 MB

The atlas presents a unique set of abundance data to describe the spatial, depth, size, and temporal distribution of demersal and pelagic fish species over an extensive marine area, together with accounts of their biology. A large number of pictures, graphs and distribution maps illustrate the text. By largely avoiding - or at least explaining - scientific terms and providing extensive references, the book should be useful for both laymen and scientists.The quantitative information on some 200 fish taxa is derived from 72,000 stations fished by research vessels during the period 1977-2013. The area covers the northwest European shelf from west of Ireland to the central Baltic Sea and from Brittany to the Shetlands. Although the surveys extend beyond the shelf edge, only taxa reported at least once in waters less than 200 m are included. Typical deep-water species and typical fresh-water species are excluded.We hope this publication will contribute to gaining a better understanding of the ocean ecosystems.
