SLU calculates and reports emissions and uptake from Sweden's Land use, Land Use Change and Forestry sector (LULUCF).
The Department of Aquatic Resources' activities cover the entire chain from data collection and analysis to research, advice and education. It gives us unique opportunities to develop know-how about how to use the resources in our seas and freshwater in a way that is sustainable in the long term.
Are you interested in in the ecology and sustainable management of fishes and their habitats? In the course Ecology for Fish Management and Conservation you will apply your new knowledge on fish ecology in ongoing fish management and conservation projects and get hands-on training in how to monitor fish populations.
The course provides knowledge in fish ecology and in management of natural resources in freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. It suits those who are interested in marine biology and limnology (freshwater biology) and who want to work with future challenges in the environmental area.
The course Ecology for Fish Management and Conservation can preferably be taken in combination with the course Principles of Fisheries Science . The courses are held during the same term (semester) and form a solid basis for students who want to work nationally or internationally with water and fish management issues. The two courses can also be combined with a thesis project (independent project) which will altogether cover one whole academic year (60 ECTS).
The courses can be taken within the SLU (and partners) Master Programs EnvEuro, Sustainable Development, and Sustainable Food Systems.
The excursions were one of the main reasons for me to take the course. The excursions cover the course so well and give me a clear picture of recent issues in the fish ecology.

During the course, a larger project work is performed where you and your course mates adopt a real case in cooperation with actors in fish conservation and management projects.
The lectures cover fish ecology (e.g., fish life cycles, spatial fish ecology, fish migration and population genetics), European and national legislation regarding nature and environment, global fisheries issues and resource use aspects such as sport fishing and fisheries policy.
