چکیده
The new book, Salmon: Biology, Ecological Impacts and Economic Importance, is a collection of scientific reviews in diverse fields of salmonid ecology, morphology, genetics, fisheries, aquaculture, and economic importance of salmon. Twenty-eight authors from seven “salmon-dependent” (a word from Chapter 14 that caught my fancy) countries represent 15 chapters filled with both well-known and new information on considered issues. The well-made book cover features mature salmon migrating upstream bringing new life for future generations, nutrients for freshwater ecosystems, and prosperity for coastal communities. In a similar fashion, this picture symbolizes that assimilation of the book’s information by the reader provides a baseline for new advances.
