Can anyone suggest a fisheries textbook that recently has been effectively
used to teach (or learn) an overview of the entire range of fishery
science?  I am considering using Jennings, Kaiser, and Reynolds. 2001.
Marine Fisheries Ecology as a text that would be used to teach a survey
course to biological oceanography and environmental science graduate
students (students who will not become traditional fishery biologists).

Has anyone used this book as a text, and can you offer your opinions.  Does
anyone have a suggestion for a better text?  What are considered the best
recently available (or older standard) fisheries textbooks?  Also, can
anyone please point me toward any available (online) class outlines or
syllabi that would jump start my design of such a class?

I will be glad to compile responses and make them available to others who
are contemplating teaching a survey course in fisheries.

Thank you,

Randy
