More about Trout and Char of the World:

This is the first comprehensive look at the taxonomy, life history, and conservation status of the world's trout and char. These are fascinating and beautiful fish that rate high for the angler as well as for tourist and recreational economies. Trout and char also play key roles in the ecology of many lake and river systems around the world.

Trout and char are abundant in many regions, but most native species are on the decline. Some are classified as vulnerable, threatened, or endangered. Because of their widespread stocking in regions where they are not native, some trout and char also are the cause for threats to other native species. Loss of habitat, an expanding human population, and rapid climate change are challenging their future as streams warm and waters become more variable in their flows. This book examines trout and char from all these perspectives.

Early chapters explore the unique diversity and life history aspects of trout and char and provide information on the taxonomy and systematics while also detailing some of unique life histories. New information is presented about species diversity and distributions by country. Summary chapters explore significant conservation and management challenges of broad interest to scientists, resource managers, anglers, and interested public. The book end s with a series of essays exploring the future of trout and char over the next 50 years.

This book will be a primary resource for trout and char biologists, conservationists, and anglers in the many countries where trout and char are native or have been introduced, and a resource for anyone interested in learning more about the diversity and distribution of trout and char worldwide.

More about Investigation and Monetary Values of Fish and Freshwater Mollusk Kills:

This book is an update of the widely accepted monetary values of fish that have been published by AFS since 1975 (last updated in 2003 as Special Publication 30). This publication has been adopted as the legal basis for restitution or fines in more than half the states and has been upheld in numerous legal challenges. This current version presents freshwater mussel values that have been substantially refined since their initial appearance in 2003, and updates the comprehensive methods for assessing fish kills and freshwater mussel kill events.

Tables containing updated replacement cost values for most major fish species that are cultured and for freshwater mussel species in the USA are included. This book is a must for anyone involved with fish or freshwater mussel kills, propagation, and water pollution policy.

More about From Catastrophe to Recovery: Stories of Fishery Management Success:

This book provides eyewitness "good news" accounts of true stories of successful fishery management in action that have resulted in bringing fish populations from the brink of extinction to full recovery with viable naturally reproducing, self-sustaining, and productive populations. The text provides incontrovertible evidence that good things can indeed happen with well- thought out and implemented fish management programs, demonstrating that fishery professionals working together with their stakeholders can make a difference in restoring and maintaining fish and their habitats to productive levels.

Contains 22 case histories of fishery management success spanning rivers, lakes, and marine systems. Each account ends with the authors' reflections of lessons learned that could be applied to other fisheries.

The book will be useful as a college text and invaluable to natural resources researchers, managers, and their allied publics.

More about Standard Methods for Sampling North American Freshwater Fishes:

This important reference book provides standard sampling methods recommended by the American Fisheries Society for assessing and monitoring freshwater fish populations in North America. Methods apply to ponds, reservoirs, natural lakes, and streams and rivers containing cold and warmwater fishes. Range-wide and eco-regional averages for indices of abundance, population structure, and condition for individual species are supplied to facilitate comparisons of standard data among populations. Provides information on converting nonstandard to standard data, statistical and database procedures for analyzing and storing standard data, and methods to prevent transfer of invasive species while sampling.

284 biologists and managers from 107 agencies, universities, and businesses contributed to the book as authors, reviewers, or sponsors.

More about Age and Growth of Fishes: Principles and Techniques:

Estimating age structure of fish populations and growth of individuals is fundamental to evaluating fish population demographics and dynamics. This text provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and techniques associated with estimating age and growth of fishes. Although the material presented in the book is applicable to systems around the world, the primary focus is on post-larval fish in North American freshwater systems.

The book is organized into four sections. Chapters in the first section (Chapters 1-2) provide an overview of the history and importance of age and growth information, as well as an introduction to how calcified structures grow. The second section (Chapters 3-5) focuses on validation and verification of structures, choice of structures, and sampling considerations. The third section (Chapters 6-9) provides a discussion of the most common structures used to estimate the age of fish. The last section (Chapters 10-12) details methods for data summarization and analysis.

This book is intended for practicing fisheries managers, researchers, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students.

This is a great opportunity to nab some of our most popular titles for a steal!

William (Bill) Franzin, AFS Past President, and Sharon Williams Franzin will deliver (free of charge to the bidder) one numbered copy (first edition, of 2,000) of our first book, A Day on Crocus Hill with Sweetgrass, hand-signed by Firmin Michiels and Sharon Williams Franzin. It is a hardcover book, profusely illustrated with high-quality color photographs of prairie wildflowers. The edition was published in 2004 and has sold out.

They will include a signed, numbered copy (early edition, of 100) of our second book, Hiking Alone on Nahanni Plateau, published in 2017 to commemorate Canada's 150th birthday and celebrate our colleague Firmin Michiels' sudden death in 2008. This book is also well illustrated with photographs of flowers and the landscapes of the remote Nahanni Plateau. Firmin Michiels was dropped off for 18 days of solitary camping and hiking on the plateau in 1994. We were able to reconstruct his experience from his comments while living and from his personal notes and photographs when we completed the book years after his death.

For more information, please see accompanying images of the front and back covers of the first book and of the dust jacket of the second book.
