Inland fisheries are vital for the livelihoods and food resourcesof humans worldwide but their importance is underestimated,probably because large numbers of small, local operators areinvolved. This book defines what we have globally, what we aregoing to lose and mitigate for, and what, given the right tools, wecan save. To estimate potential production, the dynamics offreshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes and estuaries) need to beunderstood. As these dynamics are diverse so are the earth sfreshwater fisheries resources (from boreal to tropical regions),and these influence how fisheries are utilized and abused. Threemain types of fisheries: artisanal, commercial and recreational,and the tools that have evolved for fisheries governance andmanagement, including assessment methods are described. Fisheriesdevelopment concentrates on improving fisheries throughenvironmental and habitat evaluation, enhancement andrehabilitation, aquaculture, genetically modified fishes andsustainability. The negative impacts on fisheries include excessiveharvesting, climate change, toxicology, impoundments, barriers andabstractions, non–native species and eutrophication. Finally, keyareas of future research are outlined. The global approach makesthis book, written by leading experts in the field, of interest tostudents, scientists, politicians and other policy makers and theinformed layman.
