8 Introduction Two events have recently improved the prospects of protecting fish and their environment in Switzerland: the acceptance of a new Federal Water Protection Law in the plebiscite of May 17th 1992, and the new Federal Legislation on Fisheries, in force since January 1st With this legal framework, the possibilities for protection of nature and landscape have now considerably improved in Switzerland. The most important aims of the Federal Law on Water Protection are to safeguard the natural habitats of the native flora and fauna and water as the habitat of aquatic organisms. This includes not only the preservation or restoration of water quality in lakes and rivers, but also, in rivers used for hydroelectricity, irrigation or as industrial or other water supplies, the maintenance of sufficient water to fulfill the minimal requirements for fish. However, good quality water in sufficient quantities alone is not enough to guarantee the survival of fish. Intact fish habitats comprise various physical structures including plenty of hiding places, hunting grounds, reproduction and nursery areas within suitable distances from each other. This third aspect of conservation and restoration of aquatic habitats is a central point in the new Federal Law on Fisheries. Whereas the former versions of this law were more concerned with fishery regulations, the recent legislation defines new areas of responsibility for the federal and the cantonal governments. Aspects concerning fishery management lie now within the competence of the latter, leaving the federal administration more freedom to concentrate on the protection of endangered species and habitats. These objectives are acknowledged as a national responsibility, in agreement with the international engagement of Switzerland, e.g., in the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats which has been ratified by the Swiss Parliament. Fish conservation in Swiss legislation The new fishery law includes the conservation of the diversity of natural communities, especially all native fish and cyclostomes, independent of their commercial or halieutic value. Furthermore, clear priorities are set for the conservation of endangered species with a list of taxa to be protected and encouraged with appropriate measures enforced by the cantons. This list was compiled on the basis of a national distribution atlas of fish and cyclostomes (Pedroli, J.C., Zaugg, B. and Kirchhofer, A., 1991, Verbreitungsatlas der Fische und Rundmauler der Schweiz / Atlas de distribution des poissons et cyclostomes de Suisse. Documenta Faunistica Helvetiae 11: 1-207) and a Red List (Kirchhofer, A., Zaugg, B. and Pedroli, J.C., 1990, Rote Liste der Fische und Rundmauler der
9 x Schweiz I Liste rouge des poissons et cyclostomes de Suisse. Documenta Faunistica Helvetiae 9: 1-26). From the 54 native taxa of fish and cyclostomes in Switzerland, the taxa requiring protection are classified in the legislation in five categories: Category 0 (already extinct) Category 1 (in danger of extinction) Category 2 (strongly endangered) Category 3 (endangered) Category 4 (potentially endangered) Lampetra jluviatilis, Acipenser sturio. Alosa alosa alosa, A. alosa nilotica. Salmo salar, S. trutta trutta. Hucho hucho L. planeri, S. trutta marmoratus, Chondrostoma toxostoma, Misgumusfossilis, Zingel asper S. trutta lacustris, Barbus meridionalis, C. nasus. C. soetta, Leuciscus souffia. Rhodeus sericeus amarus. Blenniusjluviatilis, Padogobius panizzai A.fallax lacustris. Salve linus alpinus, Thymallus thymallus, Alburnoides bipunctatus. B. barbus plebe jus. Leucaspius delineatus, Leuciscus souffia muticellus, Cobitis-taenia Anguilla anguilla. S. truttafario. Coregonus spp, Cyprinus carpio, Albumus albumus. A. albidus. B. barbus barbus, Gobio gobio. Phoxinus phoxinus. Rutilus pigus. R. rubilio. Silurus glanis. Gasterosteus aculeatus. Cottus gobio The following 12 species are not included in this list, as their populations appear not to be threatened: Esox lucius, Abramis brama, Blicca bjoerkna, Leuciscus leuciscus. L. cephalus, Rutilus rutilus. Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Tinea tinea. Noemacheilus barbatulus, Lota Iota, Perea jluviatilis and Gymnocephalus cemua. With only less than a quarter of the total native fish fauna classified as not threatened, the situation in Switzerland may be judged as fairly critical. Just knowing the nature of the problem may already lead to significant improvements for some species, whereas for others, specific conservation programmes have to be implemented to ensure their survival. A profound knowledge of the ecological requirements of the species concerned is a prerequisite for an efficient protection policy. Therefore, the federal government not only supports the restoration and revitalisation of fish habitats, but also finances scientific research related to endangered species. Sustainable fishery management In Switzerland, the management of fish stocks and detailed regulations about fishery gears and methods now lie in the competence of the cantons. The federal regulations only determine minimal lengths and closed seasons for the majority of the commercial fish species. This allows an optimal exploitation on a small scale, taking into account the ecological specificities of the lakes
10 XI and rivers, as well as the biological characteristics of local fish populations. Nevertheless, the cantons are obliged to manage the fishery activities in such a way that fishery remains sustainable. The introduction 9f alien species into natural systems belongs to fishery management and the conservation of the native fish fauna. Exotic species can have a detrimental influence on the naturally evolved interactions in. aquatic ecosystems or even transmit new diseases, to which the native fauna is not adapted. Similarly, the introduction of hatchery strains from distant catchment basins can strongly affect indigenous populations which are considered as optimally adapted to the local environmental conditions. Both these kinds of introduction alter the structure of natural communities, and therefore the new Federal Law on Fishery contains restrictive regulations concerning the import and introduction of live fish intended for stocking. For each introduction of both alien species and genetically poorly adapted races or strains into natural systems, an authorisation is required, so a restrictive practice can be enforced. For example, the introduction of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is now limited exclusively to mountain lakes and reservoirs with no free connection to a river system. In all other open natural waters the introduction of this species is banned. Henceforth restocking programmes must rely on indigenous fish, and large-scale introductions of alien species or genetically poorly adapted races have to cease. The main objective of this legislative framework is to guarantee the integrity of the aquatic environment combined with the conservation of the aquatic fauna. This "new spirit" in fishery legislation was also the motive for the organisation of the Symposium on the Conservation of Endangered Freshwater Fish in Europe, which took place in July, 1994 at the University of Bern. With over 100 participants from 22 nations, the 65 spoken and poster contributions presented a survey of the situation in other countries or specific catchment areas together with many new research results in the fields of ecology, genetics and systematics on which the conservation of endangered species must be based. Examples of species or community rehabilitations also illustrated the past and present efforts to conserve the European fish fauna. In the three workshops organised by Peter S. Maitland (Faunistic surveys and vulnerability assessments), Josef WanzenbOck (Conservation of European mudminnow, Umbra krameri) and Antonin Lelek (Management and rehabilitation of habitat of endangered fishes) the ways and means for effective conservation were intensively discussed. All manuscripts submitted for these proceedings were reviewed by specialists. The editors would like to thank H. Ahnelt, J. Allardi, M.W. Aprahamian, L. Bematchez, P.G. Bianco, R. Bless, S.J. de Groot, W. Donni, P.S. Economidis, B. Elvira, J. Holcik, R. Hofer, E. Kainz, H. Keckeis, R. Kinzelbach, M. Kottelat, H.R. Kristiansen, A. Lelek, P.S. Maitland, W. Meyer, R. Muller, M.

11 XII We are grateful to all the sponsors of this publication. Thanks are also due to Daniel Bernet, Beatrice Dobmann, Kurt Hofer, Carlo Largiader, Therese Lindt Kirchhofer, Maja Mezzera, Erich Staub and Gabriela Zehnder for their help during the symposium, to Daphne Zbiiren-Colbourn for linguistic improvements to some manuscripts and especially to J'herese Lindt Kirchhofer for her assistance in the final editing of the present volume. We are perfectly aware that legislation or knowledge alone is not sufficient to preserve the biodiversity of the aquatic environment, and that Red Lists provide no solution to the problems involved but can only indicate the urgent need for action. We hope, however, that it is not too late for the European fish fauna to recover and that further efforts in fish conservation will be stimulated by this contribution.
