The Speargun in Marine Biology
Can a tool used in fishing also become part of a marine biologist's skill set?
The Speargun in Marine Biology examines the use of selective underwater techniques for the removal of invasive alien fish and the transferable skills that may later support specialist, non-lethal underwater tagging.
From species identification and controlled underwater approach to research ethics, animal welfare, data collection and approved tagging protocols, this book separates recreational spearfishing from scientifically justified intervention.
Designed for marine biologists, conservation practitioners, fisheries researchers and experienced underwater naturalists, it presents a responsible pathway from underwater competence to highly specialized research applications.
Targeted removal. Scientific training. Better underwater research.
