Fish Pheromones and Related Cues offers a comprehensive exploration of chemical communication within the realm of fisheries biology. Edited by P.W. Sorensen, this first edition delves into the intricacies of pheromones—chemical cues that facilitate interactions among members of the same species—and their significance in aquatic environments. The book highlights how these substances and related chemicals influence fish behavior, contributing to various biological processes including reproduction and predation.

Divided into several chapters, the text begins with foundational theories on chemical communication before delving into specific applications and research findings. It covers the evolution of pheromones, their production, release mechanisms, and detection by fish nervous systems. Additionally, it explores practical aspects such as measuring pheromones, understanding how environmental pollution disrupts these signals, and utilizing this knowledge in fishery management—ranging from enhancing cultured species to conserving wild populations and managing invasive species.

Published on December 16, 2014, by Wiley-Blackwell, the book is a vital resource for researchers, students, and professionals interested in understanding and applying pheromone research in fisheries biology. With its detailed insights into both theoretical and practical dimensions, it serves as an essential guide in this expanding field.
