MAR 549 - Analysis of Tagging Data3 credits This course provides instruction, demonstration and student projects in modeling tagging data, as applied to the estimation of abundance, mortality, movement or growth of fishery resources. Mark-recapture experiments have been a tool for estimating population parameters for over a century, but tag technology and analytical methods have advanced rapidly over the last decade, producing a variety of methods. This course attempts to provide a unifying approach to modeling tagging data, from simple capture-recapture methods assuming closed populations to fully-integrated, demographic models of fishery, survey and conventional tagging or telemetry data.
