Dr Lockwood took over the UK's mackerel research programme at a critical time and this enables him to give a unique review of events which led to the revival of the English mackerel fishery in the 70s. Its subtitle clearly sums up the content of a book written by a scientist with the needs of the fishery industry in mind. The text is refreshingly uncluttered by scientific references but a full reading list is appended. Historical background to the fishing methods used and the development of the European mackerel fishery is followed by details of the mackerel's biology, life history and migratory habits. The second part deals with the size of the resource and the need for adequate management, discussing the many problems which can arise. The final chapter covers recent results and stock mackerel fishery regulations complete coverage of the subject.
