The current high demand for fish and increased awareness of the role of the environment in supporting human well being has led to a situation where attitudes to inland water resources are changing rapidly. Trends in resource use and environmental impact are very evident in inland waters which are particularly vulnerable as they act as collectors of all the activities occurring in their basins and rank as some of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. The principle changes influencing the evolution of the aquatic resource for fisheries are described in this book, which has been compiled for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Aimed at anybody that uses electro-fishing such as river keepers, members of rivers trusts, Environment Agency staff or anyone involved in the assessment of fish in rivers and is intended primarily for users of equipment in Great Britain and Republic of Ireland. To help users of electric-fishing equipment improve their understanding of the theory and practice of this important fisheries management tool, Bill Beaumont, from the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust and an acknowledged world authority on this activity, has produced a unique 95 page operators manual, which gives clearly explained information on both the theory and practice of using the method.
