Informationen zum Autor Ian G. Cowx is the editor of Management and Ecology of River Fisheries, published by Wiley. Klappentext This book brings together contributions from experts in river fisheries management and ecology to present an appraisal of the status of river fisheries, assessment methodology, constraints on their development, and issues and options regarding their management. Zusammenfassung * Assessment of fish community structure and dynamics. * Factors constraining stock recruitment. * Fish habitat requirements. * Instream flow needs. * Impact of water resource schemes. * Rehabilitation of river fisheries. * Enhancement of fish stocks.
