PREPARATION OF THIS DOCUMENT
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).
The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those
of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations or COISPA.
