Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Naturally derived fish production from inland and inshore marine systems is becoming increasingly limited for two reasons. Firstly native fish assemblages have been unable to adapt to the declining quality of the aquatic environment and secondly, many fish species fail to compensate for excessive fishing through natural reproduction. As a result of these two stresses catch from inland fisheries based on naturally reproducing fish populations is declining and catches in some coastal areas are likewise threatened. One response to this crisis has been to use stocking with selected species to mitigate the damage and to maintain or increase catches. In this way some conventional inland and coastal fisheries are being transformed from capture fisheries to a form of aquaculture.
