Survey and evaluation of water qualities. A field guide for managers of inland fisheries and fish farms
This field guide provides practical information on the field monitoring of the physical, chemical and biological properties of inland waters exploited by fisheries and aquaculture. After introducing the concept and topics, it discusses the qualities of inland waters in detail. Water properties are grouped by chapter, based on abiotic or biotic factor, or indeed both. Chapters and sections are supported by illustrations and practical explanations of how to discover, understand and solve water-quality-related problems. The practical guides presented at the end of each chapter discuss the different water properties important for fisheries and pond fish culture. As climate change is a problem of increasing importance, an additional chapter on climate and climate change implications, together with the application of meteorology to inland fisheries and aquaculture, is also included. The annexes provide a guide to identifying water types and the main organisms which live in them. Annex 4 systematically presents equipment, kits and instruments which could be used to check the physical, chemical and biological properties of inland waters used for fisheries and aquaculture. This richly illustrated guide also includes a glossary where simple and clear definitions and explanations, together with substantial science-based background information, can be found. Terms included in the glossary are asterisked and italicized.
