Description: This course examines advanced concepts and methods in fish population dynamics and stock assessment, with emphasis on design of harvest policies for sustainable fisheries. Through a mixture of lecture and tutorial sessions, students will learn to apply the main methods used today for fisheries assessment, alongside with their pitfalls and examples where these methods have failed. Presentations on harvest policy range from simple estimates of targets and reference points to the development of experimental, adaptive management policies.
