Fisheries, Biodiversity and Resource management - Specialization
Fisheries, Biodiversity, and Resource Management specialization
Fishing is one of the most important human activities influencing aquatic ecosystems. The study line deals with the sustainable exploitation of aquatic living resources and gives the student a deeper understanding of the current government policy within aquatic ecosystem-based management and conservation of biodiversity. There will be a focus on sustainable fishing and conservation of the aquatic ecosystems. The student will be prepared for an interdisciplinary and international work context and will be equipped to make contributions to the scientific advisory process, scientific research, and the development of models and technical solutions. Along the way, the student will become familiar with a wide range of current topics, methods and examples of application. Topics include e.g. productivity and genetics of fish populations and how these are affected by fishing pressure and environmental and climate changes. Furthermore, the latest knowledge and research within the development of sustainable fishing gear and other means of actions, that can help to ensure a sustainable use of the resources, are uncovered.
To obtain the specialization in Fisheries, Biodiversity, and Ressource Management the following courses are mandatory:
