Produktbeschreibung

Written by leading scientific experts, this book presents up-to-date reviews on key topics of sea bass biology. It covers the biology and ecology of the different sea basses and the latest findings in molecular biology, physiology, and behavior of this species. Ranging from larval development to nutrition to pathology and immune system, the chapters cover a broad spectrum. The final chapter deals with novel tools such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. The social and commercial impact (fisheries and aquaculture) of sea bass is also assessed.
