Stock Assessment in Inland Fisheries

Herausgeber: Cowx, Ian G

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on an international symposium and workshop to be hosted by the University of Hull International Fisheries Institute, this new reference includes expert reviews of the advantages and shortcomings of all current techniques and management strategies used in assessment of freshwater fish stocks, worldwide. Contributions to this new reference will address the following major areas: Survey Methods, Fisheries Statistics, Population Dynamics, Catch Effort Methods, Stock Assessment in Large Lakes, Stock Assessment in Large Rivers, Management of Freshwater Fish Stocks. In addition to the core reports, overview papers will present a summary of our current status of knowledge in each of the major subject areas, and a final chapter will offer an expert appraisal of present and future perspectives in relation to the concept of stock assessment. All contributions will be fully illustrated and referenced. Stock Assessment in Inland Fisheries will become the international, standard reference for all fisheries departments offering a single source of contemporary and definitive information. It is also intended that the book serve as a course text for all studying within the various areas of freshwater fisheries management.

Preface..
I: Survey Methods.
1. Fish population survey methods: a synthesis (P. Hickley).
2. Electric fishing for the assessment of fish stocks in large rivers (J.
Harvey and I.G. Cowx).
3. The use of resistivity fish counters in fish stock assessment (M.
Aprahamians, S. Nicholson, D. McCubbing and I. Davidson).
4. Evaluation of a low disturbance methods for estimating population
densities of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and trout (Salmo
trutta L.) juveniles in chalk streams (D.J. Bird, G.W. Lightfoot and A.P.
Strevens).
5. Assessment of the deep water trawl fisheries of the South East Arm of
Lake Malawi using exploratory surveys and commercial catch data (M. Banda,
T. Tomasson and D. Tweddle).
6. Selectivity of Breder traps for sampling fish fry (J. Kubecka).
7. Estimation of migrant yellow eel stock in large rivers through the
survey of fish passes: a preliminary investigation in the River Meuse
(Belgium) (E. Baras, J-CI, Philippart and B. Salmon).
II: Catch Effort Methods.
8. Catch census of coarse anglers in England and Wales (R. Steel, K. O'Hara
and P.A. Smith).
9. Log books as a mechanism for assessing long-term trends in the salmonid
fisheries, with particular reference to the sea trout stocks of the River
Tywi (D.M. Evans).
10. Estimating historical trends of migratory fish runs into rivers without
counters (I. Small).
11. Interpreting trends in adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
Populations from angling records: an analysis of catch and effort data from
the River Spey (G.W. SMith, R. Laughton and S.J. Dora).
12. Catch and effort data and the management of the commercial fisheries of
Itaipu reservoir in the upper Parana river, Brazil (E.D. Okada, A.A.
Agostinho and M. Petrere Jr.).
III: Hydroacoustic Assessment.
13. Use of horizontal dual-beam sonar for fish surveys in shallow waters
(J. Kubecka).
14. Application of a hydroacoustic sampling technique in a large
wind-exposed, shallow lake (P.J. Mous, J. Kemper).
15. A hydroacoustic assessment of a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
population in a deep oligotrophic lake (M. Cryer).
16. Stock assessment of the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) Population in
Loch Ness, UK (C.W. Bean, I.J. Winfield and J.M. Fletcher).
17. Estimating fish production and biomass in the pelagic zone of Lake
Malawi?Niassa: a comparison between acoustic observations and predictions
based on biomass size-distribution theory (E.H. Allison).
IV: Population Models.
