Reviews
'... a refreshing and fresh book that is easy to read ...Dr Link's largely open-minded and pragmatic approach to EBFM in this book is particularly helpful in terms of guiding and encouraging its application.' Fish and Fisheries
'This volume provides a good overview of a wide range of tools that can be used to evaluate the ecosystem consequences of fishing. Link presents a range of ecosystem concerns, going well beyond trophic interaction to include major environmental shifts impacting productivity ... will provide a good introduction to anyone interested in understanding the history and the state of the science.' Ray Hilborn, The Quarterly Review of Biology
