Book Description
Tropical Asian resevoir fisheries yield may be best managed by enhancement of indigenous fish species stocks, and its resource managed by a holistic and ecosystemic approach, taking natural resource base and land-water use into consideration. A comprehensive analysis of the subsitence resevoir fisheries of a lowland tropical Asian reservoir in Malaysia, Bukit Merah Reservoir is best obtained by comparative resource assessment models. Such preliminary case study demonstrates the utility of the fisheries stock assessment methodology and management theory for fishery management problems in humid tropical Asia (Yap, 1982), and makes possible an overview of several meaningful problems in reservoir and fisheries management in a scientific and perceptive manner.
