What have we learned?
- We cannot assume that
angling fisheries are self-regulating
- easily accessible lakes
are vulnerable to high exploitation
- We cannot rely on angling
data to monitor changes in fish abundance
- need independent
assessment (e.g. index netting)
- Management action, driven
by anglers' complaints may be too late
- can populations recover
from low numbers?
- Need
proactive (not reactive)
approach to management.
