Summary

Grenadiers or rattails are widely distributed in the oceans from the Arctic to the Antarctic. This is the first book to examine different aspects of the distribution, ecology, life history, stock assessment, and fisheries of different grenadier species in the oceans. The 25 chapters, written by 65 international experts, provide the most current data on the biology and fisheries of grenadiers.

This volume will appeal to a wide spectrum of professionals, including fisheries scientists and managers, marine biologists and ecologists, and oceanographers.
