Fisheries science is the academic discipline of
managing and understanding fisheries. It is a multidisciplinary science, which draws
on the disciplines of limnology, oceanography,
freshwater biology, marine
biology, conservation, ecology, population dynamics, economics and
management
to attempt to provide an integrated picture of fisheries. In some cases new
disciplines have emerged, as in the case of bioeconomics and fisheries
law.
Fisheries science is typically taught in a university
setting, and can be the focus of an undergraduate,
master's
or Ph.D. program. Some universities offer fully
integrated programs in fisheries science.
Fisheries research
Fisheries research
vessels (FRVs) require platforms which are capable of towing different
types of fishing
nets, collecting plankton or water samples from a range of depths, and
carrying acoustic
fish-finding equipment. Fisheries research vessels are often designed and built
along the same lines as a large fishing
vessel, but with space given over to laboratories
and equipment storage, as opposed to storage of the catch.
