Descripción
The International Seminar on Mass Removal of (Unwanted) Fish in Large Inland Waters took place from 10 to 12 June 1991, Lahti, Finland. The Seminar was attended by 102 participants from 12 EIFAC member countries, Canada, China and USA. The papers were grouped under the following topic sessions: Mass removal of fish in inland waters; the effects of intensive fishing on fish populations; biological control: the use of predatory fish; the role of fish behaviour, habitat alteration and interspecific competition. Twelve posters were exhibited. The Seminar recommended that attention be paid to the development of fishing methods for mass removal of fish from large inland waters and to the assessment of the subsequent impact on stocks, and that such work should result in a manual. Methods for processing of mass-removed fish also need to be investigated.
