The growth of the fishery resulted also in a need for well thought out science based on legislation and administrati011 of the fishery. This text examines whether any of several variables had effects on the stocks and the successes or failures of the fisheries. with the aim of more infom1ed planning of scientific studies, …

Wetlands Evaluation And Management In Virginia, Eileen L. Shea, N. Bartlett Theberge
