This publication presents the results of an IDRC-funded workshop
held in Kathmandu, Nepal, 23-28 November 1987. Representatives from
15 countries reviewed the status of reservoir fishery research in Asia
under the following topics: existing fisheries, limnological aspects,
biological and resource aspects, management aspects, and culture.
Papers were presented on these topics, but the discussion sessions
were the main element of the workshop. Summaries of these discussions
as well as a series of general recommendations that were generated
during the final discussion are presented in this book. The potential
for increased fish production in reservoirs and the need for early
involvement of fisheries scientists in the planning and preimpoundment
studies before dam construction are emphasized. |
