Developments in Fish Telemetry : Proceedings of the Sixth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe

This volume includes 33 peer-reviewed papers presented at the Sixth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe (Sesimbra, Portugal, 5-11 June 2005). The papers focus on the application of aquatic telemetry techniques by scientists to investigate fundamental aspects of animal biology in order to conserve and manage natural resources. The topics addressed in this issue are human impacts and fisheries, migration and behaviour, species conservation and habitat rehabilitation, and methodology and new technology. This book is aimed at scientists and engineers actively involved in aquatic telemetry projects, aquatic biologists (marine and freshwater), fisheries biologist and managers.

In South Africa, temporarily resident grunter Pomadasys commersonnii is evenly d- estuarine?sh populations are exploited for both tributed within the estuary and uniformly food, mainly subsistence, and recreation. Little is exploited by different groups of?shers. This was known about the status of estuarine?sheries, but done by investigating the movement behavior of it is widely believed that they have contributed legally undersized ( This volume includes 33 peer-reviewed papers presented at the Sixth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe (Sesimbra, Portugal, 5-11 June 2005).
