    This course surveys principles and fields of study that fisheries resource professionals use as a guide in their careers, including basic concepts associated with fish biology and fisheries management and the application of these concepts to solve complex fisheries problems. The course explores contemporary fisheries resource issues within and beyond Alaska's borders, human values associated with fish management and conservation, and the importance of fish resources for the world's economies and cultures. Offered Fall
  • 1.00 Credits

    This seminar will promote active learning, critical thinking, and problem solving through a series of case studies involving current issues in fisheries conservation and management. Students enrolled in this course will also receive instruction on fundamental skills required to successfully complete a four-year degree at UAF. Attendance is mandatory. Offered Fall

    This course will explore the scientific and popular literature related to the exploitation of global marine fisheries resources. Specific topics of the course will be based on three core themes: (1) early exploitation of marine resources, leading to the need for fisheries management; (2) overexploitation of fish and marine mammal stocks driven largely by technological advancements culminating from the Industrial Revolution; and (3) the current status and future sustainability of marine fisheries resources. This course is largely discussion based; as a result, weekly attendance and preparation is a critical component of the course. Prerequisites: FISH F102; FISH F110; placement in WRTG F111X. Offered Spring

    This course is an exploration of the patterns of fish diversity, and the resilience and sustainability that results. The topics that we will cover are intended to act as foundational principles that fisheries resource professionals will use throughout their careers. Together we will examine the complexity of what constitutes a "fishery" and better understand the factors that have led some fisheries to collapse and others to persist. In addition to lectures, students will read, discuss and write extensively and by doing so, can expect to gain better understanding of the "science of sustainability" with regards to 21st century fisheries in Alaska and beyond.

    This course will provide mid-level undergraduate students with an introduction to the biology and fisheries of Alaskan fish, shellfish and marine mammals, with important finfishes as the main focus of the course. First, we will examine important recreational, subsistence and commercial shellfish and finfish species. Next we will briefly cover fisheries economics and then turn our attention to lesser known freshwater and marine mammal fisheries in Alaska. The amount of coverage of each topic will vary depending on what is known about each group of organisms. Before enrolling students should have a basic understanding of biological and ecological concepts. This course is required of all fisheries students but should appeal to anyone interested in Alaska's fish and fisheries. Prerequisites: FISH F110. Offered Spring Prerequisite:    FISH F101 UF C- (AND BIOL F116X UF C- OR BIOL F105X UF C- )
  • 1.00 Credits
