Um námskeiðið

The course covers topics associated with marine fisheries, including population assessments, fish-habitat associations, life-history, population dynamics and management, and introduces the main principles, approaches and issues associated with fishing activities. The course provides an understanding of the benchmarks and reference points used to evaluate stock status, the types of data used in biological assessment, and the theory and practice behind the collection of those data. Models for growth, mortality and population size are explored and discussed, as well as concepts related to the political structures and processes behind fisheries management and governance. Finally, the course reviews the present stage of technology used in the marine environment with special emphasis on the potentials, limitations, environmental impacts, and future development of fisheries technology.
