Description
The Burbot: A Freshwater Fish with a Complex Past The burbot is a unique and ecologically important species found in freshwater environments across the Palaearctic region. Once widespread in Britain, it is now extinct, although efforts have been made to consider its potential reintroduction. This book provides valuable insights into the biology and ecology of the burbot, making it an essential resource for those involved in freshwater fish management, conservation, and exploitation. It will be of particular interest to professionals in fields such as ichthyology, environmental science, and fisheries management, as well as to anglers and natural history enthusiasts. With its diverse habitat requirements and other needs throughout its life stages, the burbot plays a significant role in restored river systems, highlighting the importance of these ecosystems for both wildlife and human benefits.
