Rehabilitation of Freshwater Fisheries

Edited by an international leading authority, this major now reference work is based on papers which were presented at the third International Fisheries Symposium hosted by the Humberside international Fisheries Institute. In recognition of the urgent need to prevent further degradation of freshwater fisheries, this volume describes and analyses the impacts of man's activities on inland waters, with particular reference to fisheries, and identities the current problems which managers of these aquatic resources face. Furthermore, the book offers detailed description and assessment of the effectiveness and shortfalls of techniques and management practices currently used in the rehabilitation of freshwater fisheries. As a single source of modern information for fisheries managers, fisheries scientists, river engineers and conservationists, this volume is unrivalled. Rehabilitation of Freshwater Fisheries is divided into seven major sections:-Part I - Global perspectives on fisheries degradation and rehabilitation. Part I - Rehabilitation methodology. Part Ill - Stocking and introduction of fish. Part IV Environmental factors affecting fish.
Part V - Waterquality problems, eutrophication and biomanipulation. Part VI - Management and economics. Part VII - Recommendations for future action
