Interactions Between Fish and Aquatic Macrophytes in Inland Waters A Review

For a fishery manager it is important to understand the role of aquatic macrophytes in inland waters, as this will assist in adjusting strategies for optimizing capture fisheries. Fish, crayfish, some mammals and birds and some other organisms use macrophytes to their benefit, such as spawning, nursery, feeding grounds and as a refuge. Macrophytes play an important role in the fish food chain, especially as a substrate for aquatic organisms on which the fish feed. The present review has been compiled in response to requests for an update on such interactions, and aims to assist policy planners, managers, field specialists, and other persons interested in this topic.Petr, T. is the author of 'Interactions Between Fish and Aquatic Macrophytes in Inland Waters A Review' with ISBN 9789251044537 and ISBN 9251044538.
