520 1 $a"Bivalve Molluscs is a book covering all major
aspects of this important class of invertebrates. As well as
being an important class biologically and ecologically, many
of the bivalves are fished and cultured commercially (e.g.
mussels, oysters, scallops and clams) in a multi-billion
dollar worldwide industry." "Elizabeth Gosling who has a
huge wealth of research, teaching and hands on experience
working with bivalves, has written a book that will stand
for many years as the standard work on the subject. Chapters
in Bivalve Molluscs cover morphology, ecology, feeding,
reproduction, settlement and recruitment, growth,
physiology, fisheries, aquaculture, genetics, diseases and
parasites, and public health issues. A full understanding of
many of these aspects is vital for all those working in
bivalve fisheries and culture."
520 8 $a"An essential purchase for anyone concerned with
this important class of animals, copies of Bivalve Molluscs
should be on the shelves of biologists, ecologists,
environmental scientists, fisheries scientists and personnel
within the aquaculture industry."--BOOK JACKET.
