Fisheries Managment
Information from the course leader
Välkomna till kursen Fiskevård!
Kursen ges på distans och på kvartsfart (25%) genom hela höstterminen och har två obligatoriska kursträffar i Umeå (helgerna: 26-27 september och 16-17 januari). Vi träffas i rummet ”Laxen” som du hittar på 5:e våning inom SLU byggnad på Campus i Umeå. Kursens preliminära schema hittar du i Canvas. Kursen/terminen startar 31 augusti med självstudier av inspelade lektioner, kurslitteraturen ”Fiskevård - för friskare fiskbestånd i friska vatten" (Redaktörer Degerman & Näslund; förlag Sportfiskarna), samt olika faktablad mm. Mer information kommer i samband med kursstart, dvs 2020-08-31. Information från biblioteket för distansstudenter: https://www.slu.se/site/bibliotek/anvanda-biblioteket/distansstud/ I nuläget utgår SLU ifrån att undervisningen kommer återgå till vanliga rutiner under höstterminen. Detta betyder att vi utgår ifrån att de två planerade kursträffar kommer ges i Umeå som planerat. Om det även i höst blir en rekommendation för distansundervisning, så kommer ges de två kursträffar på samma tid enligt schemat, men kommer vara online istället för träffar på plats. Vi återkommer i så fall hur vi löser exkursionsdelen.
