Recenzje

'This volume provides a good overview of a wide range of tools that can be used to evaluate the ecosystem consequences of fishing. Link presents a range of ecosystem concerns, going well beyond trophic interaction to include major environmental shifts impacting productivity … will provide a good introduction to anyone interested in understanding the history and the state of the science.' Ray Hilborn, The Quarterly Review of Biology
