MAR 547 - Fisheries Survey Sampling

Credits 3
This course will prepare students for the real-world challenge of estimating abundance of animal populations. Emphasis will be placed on working in the marine environment, where sampling must usually be conducted with remote techniques (trawls, dredges), or visual methods (video, ROVs, submersibles), and where the observer cannot usually interact directly with the surrounding environment. Problems and examples will be drawn from fisheries research and will be analyzed using standard statistical software. The class will also participate in a field trip to obtain data that will be analyzed during the course.
