Genetic Management of Natural Fish Populations

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 248))

Abstract

Serious declines in wild fish populations have been described for several aquatic systems, particularly the Great Lakes of North America. The primary causes of these declines are regarded as overexploitation of fish populations and deteriorations in aquatic environments. Fishery management, aimed at restoring wild fish populations, generally consists of controlling the fishing pressure, improving water quality, and restocking programs. No attempts are made at the genetic management of wild fish populations.
