Fisheries Management is a beautifully–produced full colour guide to
the management of still–water coarse fisheries. Carefully compiled
by three leading specialists, who each draw on many years’
experience, this book is an essential purchase for all still water
coarse fisheries managers. The correct management of still waters
and their fisheries is vital to ensure environmental protection and
an appropriate level of stocking densities of healthy fish. This new
book provides the reader with the necessary information to achieve
these goals.
The book's first part covers the ecology of still waters and
includes succinct and user–friendly information on physical and
chemical processes, nutrient cycles, energy movements, trophic
levels, bacteria, plants, invertebrates, fish, disease–causing
organisms, mammals and birds.
Part two provides in depth, but easily assimilated cutting edge
information, on how a still–water fishery should be set up,
developed and successfully managed. Coverage includes development,
preparation and construction; stock assessment and invertebrate
survey; control of water quality, aquatic plants, erosion, predators
and nuisance species; management of the impact of climate change;
fish disease and biosecurity; control of fishing activities, fish
nutrition, fishery enhancement and condition improvement, and
general administration.
The final part of this excellent manual covers legal and social
frameworks including general and environmental legislation, direct
fisheries–related legislation, and agencies and organizations. |

Fisheries Management provides fishery managers with an invaluable,
practical tool which none should be without. Students studying
fisheries biology, fisheries management and aquatic sciences will
find this a very useful learning resource, as will all those who are
considering buying or building and setting up lakes for fisheries.
All libraries in universities, research establishments and
government agencies where fisheries and biological sciences are
studied and taught should have copies of this landmark publication
on their shelves.
