Synopsis (short abstract) The Symposium on Fisheries and Society (Social, Economic and Cultural Perspectives of Inland Fisheries) was held in Budapest, Hungary, from 1 to 3 June 2000, in concomitance with the Twenty-first Session of the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC). Ninety-nine participants from 27 countries attended the Symposium; 35 experience papers and 15 posters were presented. The Symposium demonstrated that the value of the inland fisheries resources in member countries of EIFAC considerab ly exceeds previous estimates. Indications are that in coming years there will be an increased demand for inland fishery products including especially recreational use. Inland fisheries resources will not be able to sustain increased levels of production and alternative use without careful management. Members of EIFAC, therefore, should endeavour to encourage policies directed at increasing the capacity of the inland fisheries to sustainably meet the expectation that the public place upon them.
