Reservoir Fisheries Management: Strategies for the 80's

Reservoirs now constitute and will undoubtedly continue to be one of our most valuable fishery resources - a resource that is exceedingly complex, poorly understood, and crudely managed, at best. As such, reservoirs continue to provide major fishery management problems and consequently offer tremendous opportunities for improvement. We hope this volume will provide a better understanding of the current state of reservoir fisheries and will stimulate the development of more effective management techniques. This symposium was held in Lexington, Kentucky, on June 13-16, 1983. The program featured a general session with a keynote address, seven technical sessions, tow poster sessions, and evening panel session, and a summarization fo the symposium.
