Conservation of Endangered Freshwater Fish in Europe by Arthur Kirchhofer,Daniel Müller Pdf
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.
The Fresh-Water Fishes of Europe by H. G. Seeley Pdf
Excerpt from The Fresh-Water Fishes of Europe: A History of Their Genera, Species, Structure, Habits, and Distribution In this Volume the Fresh-water Fishes of Europe are systematically described for the first time. Such an undertaking has been rendered comparatively easy by the valuable special memoirs which have been published upon the Fishes of the several European countries. The classification of Dr. Grunther has been generally followed; and, although we have often ventured to differ from this distinguished writer in minor matters, it would have been impossible to have brought the Fishes of Europe into intelligible order without the aid of his Catalogue of the Fishes in the British Museum. To that great work readers may refer who would investigate the nomenclature of the species described. For the Fishes of Great Britain and Ireland we have consulted, among other works, Pennant's "British Zoology," Yarrell's "British Fishes," Couch's "Fishes of the British Isles," Houghton's "British Fresh-water Fishes," Day's "British Fishes," and memoirs in the various publications of the Linnaean and Zoological Societies. Buckland's "Natural History of British Fishes," and his Fishery Reports, have been frequently referred to, while among works of a more special character we may mention Mr. St. John's "Tour in Sutherlandshire, "Mr. Eussel's work on the Salmon, and the "Prose Halieutics" of the Rev. Dr. Badham. The method of description has been in general that used by Heckel and Kner in their "Susswasserfische der Ostreichischen Monarchie," upon which we have moulded the descriptions of external characters of the Fishes described. Among other German authors we have been indebted only in a less degree to Von Siebold's "Susswasserfische von Mitteleuropa," and Gunther's "Fische des Neckars;" the former invaluable for its critical discrimination of species, the latter rich in anatomical observations. Benecke's "Fische, Fischerei, und Fischzucht, in Ost-und Westpreussen, has also been consulted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Guide to Freshwater Fish of Britain and Europe by Peter S. Maitland Pdf
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.
The Freshwater Fishes of Suriname by Jan H.A. Mol Pdf
With some 480 currently known fresh- and brackish-water fish species, Suriname has a rich inland fish fauna that is related to the most diverse freshwater fish fauna on planet Earth, i.e. that of the Amazon River. Interest in the freshwater fishes of Suriname by naturalists and scientists extends back over more than two centuries. Suriname is undoubtedly the site of origin of the oldest extant preserved specimens of South American fishes and 19 Surinamese fish species were described and figured by Linnaeus. Building on ichthyological studies initiated in the 1960s by the Brokopondo Project, this book provides an introduction to the freshwater fish fauna of Suriname, including identification keys, photographs of the species and descriptions of their habitats, that should be especially useful to decision makers, conservation biologists, aquarium hobbyists and eco-tourists.
