More recently, geostatistics has been applied to fishery science and consequently new developments have been required to extend and validate their application. This important book describes the fundamentals of geostatistics and how they are applied to fisheries survey data for fish stock assessment. Geostatistics is a tool that will be invaluable for all those involved in fisheries research.
