This subject evaluates the grand challenges in fisheries science and management, with
an emphasis on tropical fisheries and societies. Issues such as food security, resource
sharing, environmental effects of fishing, fishery induced selection, and many others
will be considered. Students will attend regular seminars from leading researchers,
managers and industry agents speaking on current fisheries issues. Students will then
discuss the context, results and impact of issues presented in follow up workshops.
The subject develops students' perspectives on global and small-scale fisheries topics,
promoting a multi discipline approach and evaluation of stakeholder's needs and potential
solutions.
Learning Outcomes
- critically evaluate past and current research results and management decisions and
their impact in fisheries;
