Summary
Trends in Fisheries Science and Management 1
Rotenone is currently the most commonly used piscicide in North America. Its continued use
has become a concern for environmental and animal rights groups. In response, the Rotenone
Stewardship Program has produced a number of products designed to promote its safe and
effective use and to ensure its continued availability as a fish management tool. These products
included the symposium "Rotenone Use in Fisheries: Are the Rewards Worth the Risks."
These proceedings from the symposium, the first book in a new series by AFS, cover a variety
of topics, including stewardship and use policies, environmental safety issues, and several case
histories from across the United States. This important resource will increase the
understanding of fish toxicants and further promote the safe and effective use of rotenone.
