No Thumbnail AvailableBook (series)Fisheries Management of small water bodies in seven Countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America 1997

No results found.The current interest in small water bodies derives mainly from their utilization for fisheries enhancement, which involves guidance on stocking, exploitation and species management in order to obtain optimum yield on a sustainable basis. The present study is an attempt to probe into the national experience in management of small water bodies in a selected few tropical countries with a view to gauging the resource size and assessing the strength, weaknesses and issues involved in their management from a global perspective in order to facilitate bilateral or multilateral interaction among nations displaying similar characteristics. This report provides an overview of the small water bodies and their fisheries in southern Africa, Asia and Latin America, represented by Zimbabwe, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Cuba and Mexico. It depends heavily on the secondary data collected from various government agencies of the countries. A main constraint has been the remote and nondescript nat ure of the resources, the details of which, if available, were scattered among various agencies. Nevertheless, major facets of fisheries management in small water bodies in the seven countries have been highlighted. The main emphasis was on the resource size, organization of fisheries, fisheries management and species management, depending on the availability of data and information. An endeavour has also been made to offer policy prescriptions of operational significance for streamlining the fi shery management of small water bodies, particularly the reservoirs and other man-made impoundments which have promising fishery potential. -

Also available in:
No results found.The International Seminar on Mass Removal of (Unwanted) Fish in Large Inland Waters took place from 10 to 12 June 1991, Lahti, Finland. The Seminar was attended by 102 participants from 12 EIFAC member countries, Canada, China and USA. The papers were grouped under the following topic sessions: Mass removal of fish in inland waters; the effects of intensive fishing on fish populations; biological control: the use of predatory fish; the role of fish behaviour, habitat alteration and interspecific competition. Twelve posters were exhibited. The Seminar recommended that attention be paid to the development of fishing methods for mass removal of fish from large inland waters and to the assessment of the subsequent impact on stocks, and that such work should result in a manual. Methods for processing of mass-removed fish also need to be investigated. -
