Summary: "Lobsters have been the focus of research studies due to heavy fishing pressure for more than a century. There has been a steady increase in interest in the basic and applied biology of lobsters. This is due to the significant commercial importance of the lobsters as well as the fact that lobsters make excellent and fruitful research subjects in the fields of physiology, biochemistry and neurobiology. Despite having a wide range of species and a variable morphology, lobsters share many physiological traits and appear to have few significant ecological differences. A significant scientific advancement will improve knowledge of how lobsters succeed biologically. Their value as a fishery increases interest and broadens engagement as well as offering some guidance and support for parts of the studies. The fact that they are large, many species with significant ecological functions makes them especially noteworthy. Almost all of the species are under heavy and uniform fishing pressure. The management of the precious lobster populations and the related research have received a lot of interest. The long history of the study of lobster biology serves as a good example of how basic and practical research are intertwined. Many lobster fisheries across the world are overfished as well as overcapitalized and their management plans are based on knowledge that is more than 50 years old. However, there are other requirements for good management in addition to biological understanding. The management of extensively fished lobster populations appears to be a political issue in many nations, in addition to being a biological and economic one. For undergraduates and graduate students as well as research scientists who want to learn the fundamental elements of lobster aquaculture, this book will serve as a guide"-- Back cover.
