The chapters in this book cover a variety of topics, but all describe studies that employed or examined fisheries bioengineering techniques that are important to the continued protection and enhancement of the world’s fish populations. Of particular significance is the international diversity in the research that was presented at the Fourth Fisheries Bioengineering Symposium. Consequently, a common theme that was evident at the symposium was that fisheries researchers and managers throughout the world are tackling the same issues in their efforts to better understand and study how fisheries bioengineering techniques can be used to address man-made impacts on fish populations. Sharing of this information on an international level is extremely important to the continued development and advancement of fisheries bioengineering techniques.
