This book is dedicated to the realisation that rivers, lakes, estuaries and coasts must be waters fit for the future, serving the wellbeing of all species: fishes, humans and all water-dependent life. Britain's Game Fishes provides an in-depth natural history of each native salmonid species in the British Isles: Atlantic salmon, brown trout / sea trout, Arctic charr, grayling and whitefishes, along with the familiar alien species, the rainbow trout. In the second section of the book, Everard and Knight detail the pressures these fish face from human activities such as changes in land use, agriculture, housing needs, and their concomitant pollution effects, as well as water abstraction, habitat destruction and climate change. The authors examine the cost to salmonid species of high-seas fisheries, coastal and estuarine netting, angling and fish farming. Highlighting the importance of fishes of the salmon family for the wellbeing of society, both as food and recreation, this book shows their critical importance as 'ambassadors of the wild' - iconic indicators of the health of the environment.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Game fishes, particularly those of the salmon family, are critical indicators of the health of those ecosystems upon which we now know we are dependent. As the authors of this important environmental book argue, "Our game fishes [then] serve as more than merely an indicator of healthy waters.  Instead, they can be regarded as iconic of the ecosystems in which they occur." Moreover, "the quality requirements of different types of fish population have formed the backbone of a great deal of water management in the UK, Europe and the USA over several decades."With sections on how and why Britain's game fishes are under pressure from changes in land use, agriculture, housing needs, etc. - and their concomitant pollution effects - this book assesses how our knowledge of these game fishes reflect the changing values we place on our surrounding wildlife.…
