Two events have recently improved the prospects of protecting fish and their environment in Switzerland: the acceptance of a new Federal Water Protection Law in the plebiscite of May 17th 1992, and the new Federal Legislation on Fisheries, in force since January 1st 1994. With this legal framework, the possibilities for protection of nature and landscape have now considerably improved in Switzerland. The most important aims of the Federal Law on Water Protection are to safeguard the natural habitats of the native flora and fauna and water as the habitat of aquatic organisms. This includes not only the preservation or restoration of water quality in lakes and rivers, but also, in rivers used for hydroelectricity, irrigation or as industrial or other water supplies, the maintenance of sufficient water to fulfill the minimal requirements for fish. However, good quality water in sufficient quan tities alone is not enough to guarantee the survival of fish. Intact fish habitats comprise various phYsical structures including plenty of hiding places, hunting grounds, reproduction and nursery areas within suitable distances from each other. This third aspect of conservation and restoration of aquatic habitats is a central point in the new Federal Law on Fisheries. Whereas the former versions of this law were more concerned with fishery regulations, the recent legislation defines new areas of responsibility for the federal and the cantonal governments.

Britain and Europe are home to hundreds of freshwater fish species, many found nowhere else, as well as those fish common to North America and other parts of the world. Over 250 species in 32 families appear in full color, carefully detailed paintings, along with data about their anatomy, physiology, habitat, behavior, development, distribution, and conservation status. Charts and tips cover collecting and breeding as well as sport fishing and ways to fight threats to fishes' survival.

For most British natural historians, there is one vertebrate order that could well be said to be “out of sight, out of mind.” This is our freshwater fishes, familiar principally only to anglers, those concerned with managing rivers and other waterbodies, and a few research scientists. The results of this project, which ran from 1998-2002, are published here in the form of comprehensive 10km square dot-distribution maps for the 54 species inhabiting England, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. These indicate the vulnerability of several of our native British species. Following a wide-ranging introductory chapter, and further chapters on distribution and the history of the project, Chapter 4 comprises the individual species accounts under the headings: Description; Biology and behaviour; Habitat; Distribution in Britain; World distribution; Status; Hybrids and related species; and a final section of the relationship of each species with Man. In addition to a map, each species is illustrated by fine lithographs taken from Francis Day's famous 19th century work, skilfully supplemented by Michael J. Roberts for those species unknown to Day. Chapter 5 covers conservation and management of freshwater fishes and is followed by four Appendices relating to (1) Publications; (2 & 3) Legislation; and (4) Selected websites relating to environmental protection, biodiversity information and fish conservation. The book concludes with a Glossary; a comprehensive Bibliography; and an Index. In his Foreword, Sir John Burnett, Chairman of the National Biodiversity Network Trust, commends this books as “a unique reliable source of clear and comprehensive information that is pleasing both to the mind and to the eyes” and expresses the hope that “it will lead to ... the more effective conservation of this ‘alien race’ in our midst.” A joint project of the Environment Agency, the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee; written by a team of 38 authors and compiled and edited by Cynthia Davies (CEH), Jonathan Shelley (EA), Paul Harding (Biological Records Centre, CEH), Ian McLean (JNCC), Ross Gardiner (Fisheries Research Services) and Graeme Peirson (EA).

Explores over 160 fish species in Europe, from the primitive lamprey to the magnificent Atlantic salmon, and from the massive sturgeon to the tiny guppy. Explains the appearance, range, habitat, courtship, breeding, life-cycle and feeding behavior of each species. The specially commissioned artworks and beautiful full-color photos allow quick and easy identification. The book is organized by fish family. Closely related species are grouped together, so that minor differences in appearance of behavior can be easily recognized. Fish species that have been introduced from other parts of the world, or that are found only rarely, are linked to their more important cousins. Explores the conservation issues that threaten fish throughout Europe.

The conservation of Europe's freshwater fish and their habitats is an important EU policy goal, supported not only through the habitats directive and the EU 2020 biodiversity strategy, but also, because of the clear and close links between water quality and fish conservation status, through the implementation of the water framework directive and associated river basin management plans. As the only specific source of European-level funding for nature conservation, the LIFE programme has made a huge contribution to the improved status of threatened fish species across the EU. This includes vital work in favour of near extinct species such as the houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus), allis shad (Alosa alosa) and saramugo (Anaecypris hispanica). In all, LIFE has already targeted 51 of the 65 freshwater fish species listed in the annexes of the habitats directive.^Projects within this publication can be divided into several categories: those that highlight the impact of river habitat restoration projects on fish species (some 80% of all freshwater fish projects); those that reintroduce or restock target fish species; those that overcome barriers to migratory species through the addition of fish passages; and those that raise awareness of the threats facing protected fish species and that engage with stakeholders to improve conditions for those species. In addition to highlighting the positive impacts of LIFE on freshwater fish conservation, this new brochure provides food for thought by outlining some lessons from completed projects and potential improvements or areas of renewed or increased focus in future. As the project examples highlighted in this publication demonstrate, in many cases LIFE co-funding has helped inspire further conservation actions that build on the work started through the programme.^In addition to their pump-priming effects, LIFE projects have had demonstrable effects in terms of ecosystem services, for instance by improving the overall health of river systems, increasing populations of species fished commercially and for leisure, and indirectly strengthening flood defences through reinstating natural river dynamics, an important co-benefit that helps in climate change adaptation. LIFE projects have also added value at European level through cross-border cooperation and through networking events such as the LIFE platform meeting on riverine species, held in Estonia in September 2014. Freshwater fish conservation and river habitat restoration will continue to be supported by traditional LIFE projects for the 2014-2020 funding period. The scope of funding has been widened to include species in the IUCN European Red List, enabling LIFE to have a positive impact on an even greater number of threatened species.^Furthermore, the addition of integrated projects to the programme's portfolio promises to improve linkage between the Natura 2000 network and the river basin management plans, as well as enabling larger and more ambitious projects at regional and national scale. In this way, LIFE funding can have an even greater impact in terms of job growth within the vitally important blue and green economy.

Periodic comprehensive overviews of the status of the diverse organisms that make up wildlife are essential to determining trends, threats and future prospects. Just over 25 years ago, leading authorities on different kinds of wildlife came together to prepare an assessment of their status of a wide range of organisms in Great Britain and Ireland i
