"Advances in Fish and Wildlife Ecology and Biology is a compendium of original research articles written by eminent scholars. The book has two sections namely fish and limnology and wildlife. In the section on fish and limnology papers relating to fish structure, fish food organisms, rotifers zooplankton, aquatic insects, feeding habits, reproduction, development and many other related topics on fish ecology and biology have been included.; The section on wildlife includes papers on habitat studies, behaviour, management of wildlife, threat to wildlife and shrinking wetlands."
