Book Description
The genus Sebastes is derived from a predominantly tropical family, yet represents an important component of shelf and slope fish faunas of temperate and subarctic regions. Although ecologically important in many habitats, most Sebastes spp. have reproductive and early life history features that are rather poorly understood. Understanding the dynamics of the reproductive process and the ecology of early life history stages is essential to knowledge of fisheries exploitation, stock dynamics and aquaculture. Recent research on the genus has modified our thinking about reproduction, particularly related to energetics and mechanisms involved in the live-bearing mode of reproduction. Equally significant advances have been made in our understanding of the early life history of many species.
