BIO505: Fish and Fisheries Biology
(Not available in 2010)
Students will gain a sound understanding of fundamental aspects of fish biology (e.g. age, growth, reproduction) and their importance for managing fisheries and the ecosystems that support fisheries. Case histories of selected fisheries for crustaceans, molluscs and finfish will be discussed. Students will also gain an understanding of current trends in fisheries and their management, particularly the move towards ecosystem based fisheries management. Other topics include the use of Excel in fish research, modelling for management and rebuilding fisheries.
