Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching continues to be a major industry concern, and the enhancement of fish stocks through sea ranching is of global interest.

Stock Enhancement and Sea Ranching has been written and edited by nearly 80 international fisheries experts and is essential reading for all fisheries scientists throughout the world.
