The bookis broadly divided into two sections which discuss first, thestatus of current understanding concerning the relationship betweenlotic habitat management, the response of salmonid fisheries andthe theory of river restoration, and secondly, the application ofthis to habitat management and river restoration.
Salmonid Fisheries is an extremely valuable work of referencefor fisheries managers, ecologists, environmental scientists, fishbiologists, conservation biologists and geomorphologists. Librariesin all universities and research establishments where biologicaland earth sciences, and fisheries management are studied or taughtshould have copies of this book on their shelves.
* Contributions from a wide range of well known experts
* Published in association with the Atlantic Salmon Trust
