World Fisheries Trust is announcing the publication of "Action before
extinction: an international conference on conservation of fish genetic
diversity."

Action Before Extinction was a conference held by World Fisheries Trust in
Vancouver, BC, Canada in February 1998. 22 papers were presented by
academic researchers involved in the conservation of fish genetic
diversity. They cover topics of international genetic conservation
rationale and efforts for freshwater and salterwater species in Finland,
Russia, The Ukraine, India, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, Norway, Scotland and
other countries. As well, a plant genetic resources paper lends perspective
to the topic of the development of fish genetic conservation policy.

John Fraser, Ambassador for the Environment, Canada, in paperback (259
