- Abstract
The article reports the authors' effort in providing guidance for managing a recreational fishery for taimen, the giant Eurasian trout in Mongolia. It is reported that the species has declined dramatically across its range of Siberia and Central Asia, and is currently listed as endangered in Mongolia. Through a combination of statistical models, climate data, knowledge of taimen biology and geographical information systems, the authors model taimen spawning dates for potential habitat. They recommend the designation of three fisheries management zones, with opening date recommendations that are less restrictive than existing regulations.
