This volume focuses on the US-Canadian experience with the shared fishery resources of the Laurentian Great Lakes, a vast and complex ecosystem that holds 20 percent of the world's surface fresh water supply and a wide array of fish and fisheries. Written by scientists from federal, state, and provincial management agencies, contributions address current knowledge of the ecological, sociological, and policy issues that face the region's fishery managers and policy makers in both countries. Lacks a subject index.
