Centrarchid fishes, also known as freshwater sunfishes, include such prominent species as the Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass and Bluegill. They are endemic to Eastern North America where they form part of a multi-million dollar sports fishing industry, but they have also been widely introduced around the globe by recreational anglers, in aquaculture programs and by government fisheries agencies. Centrarchid Fishes provides comprehensive coverage of all major aspects of this ecologically and commercially important group of fishes. Coverage includes diversity, ecomorphology, phylogeny and genetics, hybridization, reproduction, early life history and recruitment, feeding and growth, ecology, migrations, bioenergetics, physiology, diseases, aquaculture, fisheries management and conservation. Chapters have been written by well-known and respected scientists and the whole has been drawn together by Professors Cooke and Philipp, themselves extremely well respected in the area of fisheries management and conservation. Centrarchid Fishes is an essential purchase for all fish biologists, ecologists, fisheries managers and fish farm personnel who work with centrarchid species across the globe.

Sitting tall in the saddle, with a wide-brimmed black hat and twin Colt pistols on his belt, Bass Reeves seemed bigger than life. Outlaws feared him. Law-abiding citizens respected him. As a peace officer, he was cunning and fearless. When a lawbreaker he

Biogeographic patterns were investigated within a single species and among its congenerics. Smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) were characterized by portions of the cytochrome b gene and the control region although bass in Lake Erie were also evaluated using eight nDNA microsatellites. Overall, little population structure was observed among sites in Lake Erie which was surprising given that most male smallmouth bass exhibit nest site fidelity. But, these lake bass were divergent from bass residing in nearby tributaries indicating that lacustrine bass are reproductively isolated from riverine bass even though both groups may spawn in the same rivers. Adjacent riverine populations have also diverged from each other. Smallmouth bass from 71 sampling sites spanning their native distribution were analyzed to examine post-glaciation colonizing routes from glacial refugia into the Great Lakes. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that ancestral haplotypes exist in today's Interior and Eastern Highlands, and the tree structure supported sequential colonization events northward with a loss of diversity in more distant populations. Western rivers and the upper Great Lakes were characterized by one phylogroup thatwas distinct from bass occupying the Ouachita Highlands. Bass from Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay, and the St. Lawrence River were characterized largely by just a single, derived haplotype of unknown geographical origin. The two central lakes, Huron and Erie, were composed of multiple phylogroups indicating numerous source populations and access routes. The unique biogeography of smallmouth bass and its congenerics (Micropterus, Centrarchidae) was addressed using comparative morphology to complement the molecularly based phylogeographic component. The genus' greatest diversity is centered in the southeastern USA although several outliers are restricted to watersheds in Texas or the Interior Highlands. Myological variation was quantified for all black bass, but characters suitable for phylogenetic analysis were minimal. Observed variation was characterized primarily as unique abnormalities, often within a single specimen, or mimicking variants that were shared irregularly among species. The lack of significant myological variation may be correlated with the low degree of ecological, anatomical, and life history diversity among black bass. Because black bass displayed myological stasis, they should be excellent outgroups in higher-level systematic analyses of perciform fishes.

This is the first comprehensive study of an east African lake for thirty years. It represents the culmination of research expeditions which stretch back twenty years and is thus able to pick up long term changes which the individual research activities do not reveal. Lake Naivasha is a tropical lake whose natural fluctuations are now dwarfed by human impacts. Papers show how the irrigation for horticulture and power cooling has reduced the lake depth significantly; exotic arrivals have altered the plant community beyond recognition and its commercial value as a fishery and a tourist feature are reduced by over use. Despite this, the lake has considerable conservation value at present. It provides a different case study in the ever-growing library of the effects of human follies. Lake Naivasha has achieved global importance in the past ten years because its waters are used to sustain the largest horticultural industry in Africa. The book highlights its fragility under such pressure and points out the way towards sustainable use of the water and the ecosystem.
