The European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission (EIFAC), a regional commission of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, convened a Symposium on Stock Enhancement in the Management of Freshwater Fisheries in conjunction with its 12th Session held at Budapest, Hungary, 29 May through 2 June 1982. The Symposium addressed the twin problems of introductions of exotic fishes and stockings of native fishes in an effort to define guidelines for both practices in European waters. These two specific aspects of stock manipulation were considered in seven sessions: 1) stocking with non‐salmonids; 2) stocking with brown trout (Salmo trutta); 3) stocking with Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); 4) introductions and transplantations‐case histories and experience with some species; 5) introductions‐overviews by country and the Lake Kinneret case; 6) ecological and practical aspects; and 7) conclusions and recommendations.
