READING LIST


Back to Workshop Overview               Program & Abstracts



This reading list provides an introduction to the issue of fish stocking in lakes. Rather than a comprehensive list, it is a compilation of references that scientists currently working on the issue have suggested may be relevant to managers, policy makers, and other scientists. Here the issue is separated into the following categories: Comments/updates to the list can be sent to the Leopold Institute.
