The impact of species changes in African lakes
1995
Pitcher, Tony J. | Hart, Paul J. B.
The subject of species changes in African lakes has been widely studied over recent years and is one of great ecological and environmental interest. The editors of this interdisciplinary book, well known for their work in fisheries ecology, have brought together a wealth of information from many internationally recognized scientists. This important book covers the impact of species changes engendered by the introduction of fish species, impoundment and heavy exploitation. Aspects considered include reduction of biodiversity, the conservation of unique endemic fauna, the assessment of changes in habitat, species and genetic diversity, the evaluation of economic wealth generated by new fisheries, sustainability and social equity, and comparative forecasts from a range of management scenarios. The Impact of Species Changes in African Lakes will be of great use and interest to scientists across a wide range of disciplines, including fish biologists and fisheries workers, ecologists, conservationists and environmental scientists, and all those involved in work on introductions, economics of natural resources and development of fisheries.
