The living marine resources of the Eastern Central Atlantic
This multivolume field guide covers the species of interest to fisheries of the major marine resource groups exploited in the Eastern Central Atlantic. The area of coverage includes FAO fishing area 34 and part of 47. The marine re source groups included are bivalves, gastro pods, chitons, cephalopods, stomatopods, shrimps, lobsters, crabs, hagfishes, sharks, batoid fishes, chimaeras, bony fishes and sea turtles. The introductory chapter outlines the environmental, ecological, and biogeographical factors influencing the marine biota, and the basic components of the fisheries in the Eastern Central Atlantic. Within the field guide, the sections on the re source groups are arranged phylogenetically according to higher taxonomic levels such as class, or der, and family. Each re source group is introduced by general re marks on the group, an illustrated section on technical terms and measurements, and a key or guide to orders or families. Each family generally has an ac count summarizing family diagnostic characters, bi o logical and fish eries in formation, notes on sim i lar fam i lies occur ring in the area, a key to species, a check list of species, and a short list of rel e vant lit er a ture. Fam i lies that are less im por tant to fish er ies in clude an ab bre vi ated fam ily ac count and no de tailed spe cies in for ma tion. Spe cies in the im por tant fam i lies are treated in de tail (ar ranged al pha bet i cally by ge nus and spe cies) and in clude the spe cies name, fre quent syn onyms and names of similar species, an il lus tra tion, FAO common name(s), diagnostic characters, biology and fisheries in for ma tion, notes on geo graphical distribution, and a distribu tion map. For less important species, abbreviated accounts are used. Generally, this includes the species name, FAO common name(s), an illustration, a distribution map, and notes on biology, fisheries, and distribution. Each volume concludes with its own index of scientific and common names.
