"This book provides the latest information on the science, fisheries policy, and management decisions surrounding each of the three species of bluefin tunas in the Thunnus genus (Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern). This edited collection includes expert discussion of these tunas, which remain, despite their dwindling numbers, at the center of a multi-billion-dollar global fisheries industry. The book covers the collaborative scientific efforts of 15 nations, featuring the work of biologists, oceanographers, fisheries scientists, policy makers, and conservationists"--
