The Second International Symposium on the Management of Large Rivers for Fisheries was held on 11 – 14 February 2003 in Phnom Penh, Kingdom of Cambodia. It had three primary objectives: 1) to provide a forum to review and synthesize the latest information on large rivers; 2) to raise the political, public and scientific awareness of the importance of river systems, the living aquatic resources they support and the people who depend on them; and 3) to contribute to better management, conservation and restoration of the living aquatic resources of large rivers. These are collected papers of the second volume.
