The spotted seatrout is an important species not only for recreational and commercial fisheries, but also as an integral part of many estuarine ecosystems. As one of the few fishes that live its entire life within an estuarine system, the species has tremendous potential as a monitor or sentinel for estuarine conditions. Prepared by the foremost authorities in their respective fields, Biology of... Read more

"There is a large amount of information presented that should be useful not only for those studying spotted seatrout and their estuarine homes but also for those searching for sentinel species for other waters."
