Recenzje

"..useful in fishery science, population dynamics and fisheries management courses, especially at the undergraduate level...a valuable resource to scientists engaged in fish stock assessment and to fishery managers who wish to advance the state of their art."
(Journal of Natural Resources Modeling)
"...It is an excellent book and should be read by students and practitioners of stock assessment and management of fisheries...I enjoyed the book and commend it."
(ICES Journal of Marine Science)
"Risk and uncertainty have generally received short shrift in the fisheries literature. Hilborn and Waters take a big step toward overcoming this deficiency...I strongly recommend it to serious students and teachers as well as to practicing managers of fisheries for guidance in making more effective marketing decisions."
(Bioscience)
"I will certainly recommend this as one book fisheries scientists must read."
(NAGA, The ICLARM Quarterly)
