Red Snapper Biology in a Changing World (CRC Marine Biology Series)
by Stephen T. Szedlmayer Stephen A. BortoneRed Snapper Lutjanus campechanus, is an important commercial and recreational fish species and there has been much interest in maintaining its status among a variety of scientific, social and economic levels. Stocks are influenced by varying environmental conditions, changing fishing effort and efficiency, anthropogenic effects, inter- and intraspecific interactions, bycatch from other fisheries, and habitat alterations. Red Snapper Biology in a Changing World explores these changing factors and their potential effects on Red Snapper in the Eastern Atlantic region including the Gulf of Mexico and Southeastern U.S. The book will provide a better understanding of Red Snapper population fluctuations that will subsequently allow for better management decisions and more informed user groups in their efforts to maintain a sustainable fishery. It explores the responses Red Snapper have made, and are making, relative to their life history attributes such as early life history and adult ecology, especially attributes associated with population distribution and abundance, movement patterns, fish health issues and management success. A compendium of many papers presented at the 147th annual meeting of the American Fisheries Society in Tampa, Florida, this volume also includes additional research completed as a result of the symposium. It will be essential reading for fisheries scientists and managers, ichthyologists, resource and environmental managers, and policymakers who are involved with coastal fisheries.

Red Summer: The Danger, Madness, and Exaltation of Salmon Fishing in a Remote Alaskan Village
by Bill CarterA vivid, unforgettable account of the danger, pain, and joy of working on a salmon fishing boat and living in a small village on the farthest edge of Alaska Set in the tiny Native village of Egegik on the shores of Alaska's Bristol Bay, Bill Carter's Red Summer is the thrilling story of one man's journey from novice to seasoned fisherman over the course of four beautiful, brutal summers in one of the earth's few remaining wild places. As millions of salmon race toward their annual spawning grounds, Carter learns the ancient, backbreaking trade of the set net fisherman, one of the most exhilarating and dangerous jobs in the world. Housed in a dilapidated shack with no hot water and boarded-up windows that keep the bears at bay, Carter spends his days battling the elements on the river and his nights drinking whiskey with a memorable group of hardworking, hard-living characters. There's Sharon, the tough, charismatic woman who runs Carter's fishing crew; Carl, her stoic but warmhearted colleague; and a half-dozen local fishermen, many born and raised in this unforgiving place. Their stories -- harrowing, touching, full of humor -- all underscore the credo of the village's fishermen: Do the work or leave. Carter's crew is imperiled a number of times as tides rise, nets are snagged, and the weight of too many fish threatens to sink their boat. Written with gusto and honesty, Red Summer brims with astonishing human experience and joins the grand tradition of books written by great American outdoorsmen-writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Edward Abbey, Peter Matthiessen, and Sebastian Junger. Red Summer will appeal not only to fishermen, naturalists, adventurers, and armchair anthropologists alike but also to anyone who has ever yearned, however privately, to escape the bonds of modern civilization.
Red Tartar
by Page CooperRed Tartar, the thoroughbred’ chestnut Randy had raised himself, was the Courtney’s one consolation for the loss of the family fortune; but for the life of him Randy couldn’t see how he and the Colonel, his grandfather, could manage to keep him. Despite the sympathy and friendship of Sue Anne, the awkward girl whose father had bought the old Courtney home, Randy’s hopes of ever racing the big horse were dim until irrepressible Dave Black came to the farm as a paying guest for the summer. The three young people joined forces to launch Red Tartar’s career and, inspired by neighboring Monticello and a hoard of colonial costumes in the big house, they were soon deep in plans for a revival of a Revolutionary Hunt Meet in full regalia. With the enthusiastic support of the local hunt club the prospect of racing Red at least once on his home ground was encouraging. But Red was still cranky with other horses and with most people, and Sue Anne’s brother was determined to beat him by fair or foul means. Rich in the everyday details of caring for and working with horses, set in the heart of rural Virginia where the horse is still a way of life, this story will delight anyone who has had, or dreamed of, a horse of his own.
