Coregonid fishes are an interesting and important group of freshwater and anadromous fishes. Coregonids are highly adaptable to diverse environmental conditions and are widely distributed throughout the Holarctic. They support substantial commercial, subsistence, and recreational fisheries. Also, Coregonid fishes are the basis of aquaculture operations in some countries and rearing techniques are important for aquaculture and for sustaining and augmenting natural populations. Coregonids are fascinating subjects for the study of evolutionary and zoogeographic problems. These fishes are also useful in the study of general fish biology and interspecific interactions. This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International Symposium on the Biology and Management of Coregonid Fishes. The objectives of the symposium were to address all aspects of biology, genetics, aquaculture and management of coregonid fishes, throughout their entire geographic range. The conference themes were: biology, life history and population dynamics; genetics and systematics; aquaculture; fisheries and fisheries management and human interventions.
Coregonids (whitefish, vendace, cisco, etc.) are cold-water adapted fishes common throughout the Holarctic in North America, Europe and Asia. They have evolved into a myriad of forms, subspecies and species during and after the Pleistocene glaciations. They are therefore rich subjects for the study of evolutionary problems. Coregonids support important commercial, subsistence and recreational fisheries and are the subject of significant aquaculture operations around the world. Although coregonids are generally considered to be fairly adaptable to the pressures of exploitation, they do appear to be sensitive to changing environmental conditions such as eutrophication and a number of populations and species have been extirpated, usually by deteriorating environments coupled with the introduction of exotic species and by commercial exploitation. This sizeable volume contains 40 peer-reviewed contributions on current topics of coregonid research presented at the Ninth International Symposium on the Biology and Management of Coregonid Fishes, held in August 2005, in Olsztyn, Poland. They cover all aspects of coregonid life and managment. The contributions can be grouped into of five subject areas: genetics and evolution; biology, life history and population dynamics; invasive species; fisheries in Europe and fisheries in North America
Biologie des poissons d’eau douce européens, par son champ d’étude vaste et ambitieux, est un ouvrage de référence en ichtyologie dulçaquicole. Couvrant l’ensemble des aspects écologiques, écobiologiques, écophysiologiques et éthologiques, il dresse une présentation détaillée de 88 espèces auto- ou allochtones : morphologie, anatomie, distribution géographique, habitats, modes de vie et activités physiologiques. 453 autres espèces sont également répertoriées. Cette 2e édition a été largement revue et augmentée, compte tenu de l’importance des données scientifiques récentes. Outre des compléments utiles portant sur les habitats et les modes de vie, cet ouvrage s’enrichit des nombreux apports génétiques qui ont parfois « révolutionné » les concepts anciens relatifs aux origines paléo-historiques et paléo-géographiques des espèces. Des extensions ou des réductions de répartitions géographiques ont été consécutives à des transferts d’origine anthropique, à des dégradations physiques et chimiques et à la récente influence du Global Warming, sans oublier les changements de statut dans le domaine de la systématique. Au fil d’un livre d’une grande rigueur scientifique, abondamment illustré (dont 64 aquarelles originales et plus de 70 cartes géographiques pertinentes) et complété par un glossaire et une importante bibliographie, le lecteur abordera la connaissance des poissons européens d’une façon à la fois originale et attrayante. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à un large public : étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles en biologie, zoologie, écologie, hydrobiologie, environnement, ingénieurs et techniciens chargés de l’aménagement, de la gestion, de la qualité et de la protection des milieux aquatiques (services vétérinaires, de l’Environnement, de l’Agriculture, de l’Équipement…) auxquels il apportera les bases fondamentales nécessaires à leur action, et plus largement tous les passionnés d’ichtyofaune.
Continuing concern about water supply and quality, ecosystem sustainability and restoration demands that the modern approach to the management of lakes and reservoirs should be based on a sound understanding of the application of the scientific and ecological principles that underlie freshwater processes. The Lakes Handbook provides an up-to-date overview of the application of ecologically sound approaches, methods and tools using experience gained around the world for an understanding of lakes and their management. Volume one of the Handbook addresses the physical and biological aspects of lakes pertinent to lake management, emphasising those aspects particularly relevant to large, still bodies of water. Volume two then considers lake management, with particular emphasis on sustainability, restoration and rehabilitation. This handbook will be invaluable to ecologists, environmental scientists, physical geographers and hydrologists involved in limnological research, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students looking for authoritative reviews of the key areas of limnological study. Brings together basic science and management issues. International coverage and international authors. Reviews management issues at a level suitable for the non-expert.
The current volume represents a broad and diverse selection of the presentations shared in Bayfield, Wisconsin (USA) at the 13th International Symposium on the Biology and Management of Coregonid Fishes. This meeting, which was held 10-15 September 2017, embraced the traditions founded by previous meetings and celebrated the diversity of research conducted across the Northern Hemisphere. The published proceedings that have resulted from the twelve previous meetings have become an important foundation for our understanding of coregonids and the aquatic systems in which they reside. We are confident that the current volume adds to that tradition by providing novel insights that will inspire new approaches to the research and management of coregonids. Coregonids in Lake Superior support large-scale commercial operations and smaller-scale subsistence fisheries. The importance of coregonids to native communities across North America, Europe, and Asia cannot be overstated and a special session at the symposium highlighted several cases in point. The first invited note describes the cultural significance of European whitefish to communities along the Tornio River, which divides Finland and Sweden. The second invited note acknowledges that social media has become an important form of communication and describes the effort to expand the access and reach of the 13th International Coregonid Symposium. Management strategies for coregonid fisheries range from absent to complex. The first section of this volume provides several accounts of management actions employed in Finland, the USA, and Russia. Any attempt at management requires some understanding of stock status. The second section includes novel attempts to better appreciate population dynamics and behavior of coregonids and includes eight manuscripts from the USA, Norway, and Canada. The third section highlights the role of coregonids within lacustrine and riverine systems and includes six manuscripts from the USA, Canada, and Finland. Managers attempting to restore coregonid populations often rely on stocking programs to achieve objectives. The fourth section is comprised of insights from propagation efforts in Europe and North America and includes contributions from Austria, Germany, and the USA. The final section is devoted to evolutionary ecology and genetics and includes two manuscripts from the Great Lakes region of the USA and Canada. The one hundred scientists from nine countries that attended the first symposium in Winnipeg, Canada in 1969 could not have known the future influence of that formative meeting. The recognition by the organizers that "the international character of the problems make desirable the greatest possible scientific discussion and exchange between specialists in different countries" has been the guiding tenet of all thirteen meetings. This collection of manuscripts represents a continuation of the institution that has become of the Biology and Management of Coregonid Fishes and will be a valued source of information for those committed to understanding, sustaining, and restoring this remarkable group of fish.
