Hello, I wish to thank all those who kindly replied to my request about "simple" or "basic" handbooks on fishery science. Below I give a summary of the suggestions received. Please forgive the numerous inaccuracies: in several cases the references were pretty "rough" (i.e. with no publication date, no publisher, etc.) I added them to the list, because they may be useful all the same.
Best regards, Carlo Pipitone.
