Proceedings of a conference 4-5 September, 1990 Scientific interest in Lough Hyne, Co. Cork, reaches back almost a century and has resulted in over 250 scientific publications. This volume is the Proceedings of the First Conference on the Ecology of Lough Hyne, which was held at University College, Cork, in September 1990. The conference acted as a forum, bringing together researchers actively working at the Lough with scientists who had contributed greatly over many years to our understanding of Lough Hyne and with those involved in the management and conservation of the Lough. The Proceedings are therefore a unique compendium of information ranging from historical notes, through summaries of keystone papers in ecology, to recent and ongoing studies at the Lough. They include the work of zoologists, botanists, geologists, fisheries scientists and administrators. It is hoped that the volume will act both as a record of past endeavours and as an impetus for future work.
