Population Dynamics of Commercial Fish in Inland Reservoirs


Book Description

This text analyzes the structure of fish populations in inland reservoirs, based on absolute values of their mass. The structure of population and its changes have been examined in seven fish species from small lakes, two from large lakes and seven from large reservoirs in plains. Special attention has been paid to the main indicator of the structure of population-correlation between the age of ichthyomass and mass maturation.













Conservation of Freshwater Fishes


Book Description

A global assessment of the current state of freshwater fish biodiversity and the opportunities and challenges to conservation.




Biology and Ecology of Pike


Book Description

This book sets out to bridge the order scales among pike researchers, populations, communities, management, and fisheries. It emphasizes the progress of pike research during the last two decades, during which the order-bridging approach emerged. This framework underpins the text and the message, to convey its importance to pike research and to fish research in general. In addition, a considerable part of the book is devoted to management implications and highlights aspects of human dimensions in recreational fisheries.




Quantitative Fisheries Stock Assessment


Book Description

This book really began in 1980 with our first microcomputer, an Apple II +. The great value of the Apple II + was that we could take the computer programs we had been building on mainframe and mini-computers, and make them available to the many fisheries biologists who also had Apple II + 's. About 6 months after we got our first Apple, John Glaister came through Vancouver and saw what we were doing and realized that his agency (New South Wales State Fisheries) had the same equipment and could run the same programs. John organized a training course in Australia where we showed about 25 Australian fisheries biologists how to use microcomputers to do many standard fisheries analyses. In the process of organizing this and sub sequent courses we developed a series of lecture notes. Over the last 10 years these notes have evolved into the chapters of this book.







Inland Fisheries Management in North America


Book Description

"The book covers fishery assessments, habitat and community manipulations, and common practices for managing stream, river, lake, and anadromous fisheries. Chapters on history; ecosystem management; management processes; communications with the public; introduced, undesirable, and endangered species; and the legal and regulatory frameworks provide the context for modern fisheries management."
