| Description : | The purpose of this module is to learn modern fisheries theory and “hands-on” techniques in a field setting. In terms of theory, students will learn basic principles of fisheries biology, as well as current issues affecting regional and national fisheries. The hands-on aspect of the course will focus on current techniques used by researchers, as well as government agencies (e.g. OMNR) to study local fish communities. If time permits, students may get involved in individual, or small group, research projects during the second week of the course. |
