| The conference, organised by The Institute of Fisheries Management, will feature new developments in the management, and ecological knowledge, of these valuable conservation species. The conference will be of direct relevance to any whose work involves the ecology or management (including impact assessment or exploitation) of these species.There are a number of species of fish in the UK which are afforded special protection through their scarcity or unique life history. Amongst these, the lampreys (Sea Lamprey, Petromyzon marinus and River Lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis) have, for some time, been included within the provisions of the Habitats Directive. Since the enactment of the Marine and Coastal Access Act in 2009, regulation of lamprey fisheries has become the responsibility of the Environment Agency. The smelt, Osmerus eperlanus , was also included within the regulatory provisions of the Act.
