Summary

Although a commercially and recreationally important fish species, the management and scientific knowledge about sea trout has often been overshadowed by a focus on the salmon. Sea Trout: Biology, conservation and management sets out to redress this with chapters from an international team of authors brought together in this comprehensive single volume.
