The objective of this study was to evaluatethe species composition and stock of aquatic products in the West Lake and to recommend management solutions for conservation and sustainable development of fisheries resources. By the general world classification method and domestic standards as well as reserve assessment, the results indicated aserious decline in composition of fish and molluscs, with 21 species of fishes and 3 species of molluscs being recorded. Bottom stocking biomass and mollusc stocking density were low (10.64 g/m2). The composition of fish species was not suitable withtilapia dominated, accounting for 88.87% of the total biomass. The fish farming and other natural fish species were very low. The reserve biomas was low, only 243-270 tonnes.
