Course Goals
Learning Objectives:
Fishery science is a quantitative, ecological discipline that
interfaces with socioeconomics. The course requires students to
draw on knowledge gained throughout the Fishery Biology curriculum
(math, statistics, and fishery and wildlife biology, ecology, economics
and human dimensions) to grasp complex concepts and apply that
understanding to real world datasets and contemporary fisheries
management issues.
Expected Competencies: By the end of the course, students will
have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of fish population dynamics,
including basic concepts and stock assessment methods, and will learn
how to apply demographic and ecological concepts to the management of
sport and non-game fish populations and communities. Students
will leave the laboratory section with essential computer skills for
analyzing and interpreting fishery data, and preparing reports in
scientific format.
Fishery science is a quantitative,
ecological discipline. My goal for the course is to provide
students
with an opportunity to review their math, statistics, and ecology
training,
and learn how to apply that knowledge to real world datasets relevant
to
contemporary fisheries management issues. Primary laboratory
goals
are 1) to provide you with essential computer skills that employers and
graduate schools will expect you to possess, 2) to learn how to apply
these
skills to analyze fish and fishery data, and 3) to allow you to hone
your
technical writing and scientific graphics skills.
