| Summary: | In this compilation of 34 papers and extended abstracts harvested from the December 1999 symposium, contributors from US coastal states, Canada, Bermuda, Norway, and Australia review what one calls "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of catch-and-release fishing. Lucy (Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and Mary) and Studholme (James J. Howard Marine Sciences Laboratory) introduce issues involved in this conservation practice cum management tool still evolving in the marine recreational fisheries domain: e.g. post-release mortality and stress effects, angler attitudes and behavior, tagging studies (conventional and ultrasonic), and management issues. Includes color photos. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
