Abstract
This co-publication by FAO and COISPA is a compilation of 29 selected papers presented at the Fifth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe which COISPA organized in Ustica, Italy, in 2003 to bring together researchers and fisheries biologists involved in telemetry and biotelemetry studies in marine and freshwater ecosystems.
This co-publication by FAO and COISPA is a compilation of 29 selected papers presented at the Fifth Conference on Fish Telemetry held in Europe which COISPA organized in Ustica, Italy, in 2003 to bring together researchers and fisheries biologists involved in telemetry and biotelemetry studies in marine and freshwater ecosystems. In line with its attempts to make the use of the aquatic resources more sustainable, the FAO Fisheries Department decided to publish these Proceedings to put emphasis on telemetry as a useful tool for gathering biological information to serve as a basis for management decisions.
The submitted papers examined and selected for publication by the Scientific Committee of the Conference and peer-reviewed by independent referees. Thus, this publication complies with the high international scientific standards. The document was compiled and technically edited by Maria Teresa Spedicato and Giuseppe Lembo, COISPA, in cooperation with Gerd Marmulla, FAO. The desktop processing was done by Linopuglia (Bari, Italy).
