Fish Energetics New Perspectives

Fish Energetics New Perspectives / edited by Peter Tytler, Peter Calow.

It is almost thirty years since Professor G. G. Winberg established the basis for experimental studies in fish energetics with the publication of his monograph, Rate of Metabolism and Food Requirements of Fishes. His ultimate aim was to develop a scientific approach to fish culture and management, a...
