River Habitats for Coarse Fish: How Fish Use Rivers and How We Can Help Them

By Everard Mark and Mark Everard

Here is an illustrated guide aimed at real world river users in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It arms fishery and river managers, anglers clubs, and fishermen, with the knowledge and practical guidance they need to best direct their efforts to enhance the prospects for all types of fish and other wildlife that depends on rivers. Chapters include: How Coarse Fish Use River Habitats *Bottlenecks and Pressures *Taking Action *Practical Fish *Why Fish Matter *And more! Fisheries expert and author Mark Everard describes the many ways that coarse fish species (those not normally considered game or food fish like Chub, Bream, Pike, Rudd, and Tench) depend upon the diversity of habitats in river systems and considers how this dependence changes through the states of their lives, from spawning and eggers through juvenile and adult stages, and with the changing seasons and river conditions.
