Résumé :
|
This book summarizes the proceedings of the symposium "Black Bass 2000: Ecology, Conservation, and Management of Black Bass in North America" held at the AFS Annual Meeting in St. Louis. The symposium was the largest gathering to date of fisheries science and management professionals with responsibility for black bass fisheries. The book represents the majority of contributions made by keynote, invited, and regular session presenters covering the areas of ecology, conservation, and management. Issues such as population regulation and recruitment, conservation genetics and conservation of rare species, and new management approaches are all covered in this volume. The purpose of the book is to present a modern synthesis of knowledge in this area from scientists and managers who have been leading in some of the most recent advances in this field. This effort is long overdue considering the economic importance attached to this group of fish and the intense management issues associated with recreational fishing for bass.
