General information
Yearly summerschool in the end of August, 2.5 ECTS
This is a 5 days intensive summer course based in Hirtshals (Denmark) in close proximity to the fishing industry and the facilities of the North Sea science park.
The main fish capturing methods will be described together with the underlying technological and biological principles. The effects caused by the fish capturing process on the stocks and on the environment will be described and discussed in relation to present and future management strategies for effective and sustainable fisheries. Principles for design, innovation and development of fishing gears and methods will be explained and demonstrated during lectures and excursions to net companies, commercial fishing vessels and the Hirtshals flume tank.
Computer exercises will be used to demonstrate methods that make inference about the selective properties of fishing gears. The student will learn to formulate and implement computer models for size selection processes in fishing gears.
A practical training exercise will be conducted where experimental methodologies and relevant technology will be tried.
Contact the course responsible for dates of the next course (2017).
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Describe the most important fish capturing methods and the technological and biological principles behind these
- Describe the fish capturing process on the marine environment and exploited stocks
- Identify relevant management strategies in relation to sustainable fish capture methods
- Identify fishing gears and methods in relation to future management strategies for effective and sustainable fisheries
- Apply computer models to make inference about the selective properties of fishing gears
- Set up and conduct experimental work at sea
- Analyse experimental data and make inference about the selective properties of a gear
To understand the fish capturing process in relation to technological and biological principles, and its effects on the marine environment and exploited stocks. To use computer models and conduct experimental work. To design and develop the types of fishing gear that will enable fisheries to become sustainable.
To be able to develop fishing gear and conduct experimental work at sea as well as use computer based models that meet the criteria for future management strategies for sustainable fisheries.
