Fish Population Dynamics

Catalog description

Course will demonstrate the analysis of fisheries-dependent and scientific survey data using theories of fish population dynamics for management purposes. Methods for estimating fish population parameters (e.g., growth, recruitment, and mortality) will be conducted. This course is intended for graduate students and will provide students with a foundation of fisheries management and knowledge of commonly used analytical techniques employed by fisheries managers to manage fisheries. We will use R and Microsoft Excel in the course. The course will be taught at the Center for Marine Sciences and Technology (CMAST), Morehead City, NC and broadcast synchronously to remote students via Zoom.
