Biomanipulation - Toolfor Water Management ix Preface The Conference on 'Biomanipulation, Tool for Water Management' held in Amsterdam (8-11 August, 1989) was undoubtedly the first international get-together on biomanipulation studies. The aim of the Conference was to stimulate and enhance discussions among aquatic ecologists engaged in studies on trophic interactions and those working in the field of water and fish management. The choice of the Conference venue could not have been more befitting than the city of Amsterdam and that too in the midst of its legendary Artis Zoo. The 'watery' city with its thousand canals is a constant reminder of how Man has manipulated (or biomanipulated?) its harsh surroundings and its environment, to make life more livable, and the Zoo of the need to protect and preserve Mother nature. About 175 participants, representing 28 countries attended the Conference, nearly 100 coming from the Nordic countries and The Netherlands, the hosting country. Among the 40 lectures and 35 poster presentations there were 9 keynote lectures. Most of the pioneers in the field of biomanipulation (Jan Hrbacek and Joseph Shapiro, to name but two) were present. There was a great variety of topics presented, exhibited and discussed and opined for future work. We as editors felt obliged to do the almost impossible task of attempting a synthesis of the Conference contributions (Lammens et al., 1990). In a nutshell, the studies presented dealt with trophic interactions: in lakes, enclosures and in laboratory systems. Several of these related to the management aspects, attempts to model biomanipulation were few and far between. The major bottleneck in the studies dealing with phytoplankton and zooplankton was apparently the controversy around the edibility, or otherwise, of cyanobacteria, the so-called blue-green algae, particularly in relation to the size structure of zooplankton, especially daphnids. Most of the lake experiments for which data were presented involved 50-100 % reduction of fish, mainly planktivores, or alternatively heavy stocking with piscivores. The shallow lakes in particular appear to respond dramatically to biomanipulation; the response was generally manifest as improvement in light climate accompanying increased grazing pressure of zooplankton, and consequent luxuriant growth of macrophytes. The stabilizing effects of refugia for zooplankton and fish were stressed, though only a few studies actually attempted this approach and results were equivocal. The Conference deliberations reaffirmed - rather than resolved - the controversy around the complexity and nature of top-down effects in relation to trophic state, especially those concerning the role of fish and zooplankton in the development of phytoplankton succession. As editors of this Proceedings Volume our task would have been considerably more difficult but for the excellent cooperation of most of the 63 contributors (to mention the first authors) and about 75 external referees. Thanks are especially due to the referees (we wish we could name some of them, but the space would not allow us). I am proud to say that seldom did we let the several deadlines beat us. The credit, however, goes to the referees who were either punctual (needing no reminders) or responded promptly to the reminders. Dr S. Parma (Director, Limnological Institute, Nieuwersluis/Oosterzee) and Dr J. de Jong (Director, Institute oflnland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment, Lelystad) are thankfully acknow ledged for their initiative in organizing the Conference. The members of the Conference Organizing Committee chaired by Dr S. Parma, with Ir S. H. Hosper (Institute oflnland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment, Lelystad) and all three of my fellow editors are also to be thanked for their very satisfactory organisational work. We thank Mr R. Nagel who designed the Conference folder as well as the cover pages of the Abstracts and the Proceedings Volume. The Convention Bureau Van Namen and Westerlaken (Nijmegen) made the task of the Organizing Committee much lighter through x their professional and cooperative approach as well as readiness to resolve both big and small, but sometimes very specific, problems. We are very grateful to Mrs C. C. C. Janssen-Kroon for taking excellent care of the typing work and the editorial correspondence, as well as the several reminders she sent to those contributors who were late or 'lazy' in returning their manuscripts on time. The Conference was financially supported by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, the Ministry of Housing, Physical Planning and Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Province of Utrecht, the Union of Water Boards and the Organization for the Improvement of Inland Fisheries. We hope, with optimism, that this Proceedings Volume will help pave the way for future work as well as inspire and stimulate many an aquatic ecologist and water manager to choose biomanipulation as a complementary measure for lake restoration wherever feasible. A similar follow-up Conference in the near future, somewhere in Nordic Europe (?), or perhaps in another suitable geographical area, should not be asking too much! Nieuwersluis, 1 June 1990 Ramesh D.
