a manual for still-water coarse fisheries
1 online resource (vii, 408 pages : : illustrations (some color), maps.)
The book's first part covers the ecology of still waters and includes 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 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 manual covers legal and social frameworks including general and environmental legislation, direct fisheries-related legislation, and agencies and organizations.
