Reservoir fisheries management strategies for the 80’s
Reservoirs constitute one of our most valuable fishery resources - a resource that is exceedingly complex, poorly understood, and crudely managed. As such, reservoirs continue to provide major fishery management problems, and consequently, offer tremendous opportunities for improvement. A symposium was held in Lexington, Kentucky, on June 13-16, 1983 to explore management of reservoir fisheries. Specific objectives of the symposium were (1) to provide a critical assessment of current practices for managing reservoir fisheries; (2) to provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas among users and managers of reservoir fishery resources; (3) to stimulate new ideas and approaches for managing reservoir fishery resources; (4) to identify critical research and management needs; and (5) to clarify the role of fishery management relative to reservoir planning, operation, and other recreational uses. This compilation from the symposium includes technical papers on development of management programs and measurement of economic values, assessment of fish populations and measurement of angler harvest, management of the physical and chemical environment, management of reservoir fish communities by influencing species interactions and by harvest regulation, management implications of energy development and management of reservoir releases. Abstracts of poster presentation focus on harvest regulation and reservoir stocking.
