A special feature of the book will bedetailed reviews of the spiny lobster fishery, research activitiesand marketing process in Japan, where customers are willing to paymore than US$50 per pound for live lobsters.
Reviews / Votes
"While it is generally written for scientists by scientists, [Spiny Lobsters] is of much wider value than that. None of the papers are so complex that the lobster fisherman would find them too tedious or incomprehensible to read... A very valued contribution to the body of the knowledge on a very important fishery" - Fishing Boat WorldMore details
