Ekologi för fiskevård

Är du intresserad av ekologi och hållbar förvaltning av fiskar och deras livsmiljöer? Då är kursen Ekologi för fiskevård en kurs för dig. Du kommer att tillämpa din nya kunskap om fiskekologi i pågående fiskevårdsprojekt och få praktisk träning i hur fiskpopulationer övervakas.



Kursen ger dig kunskap och träning i fiskekologi och dess tillämpningar i akvatisk resursvård. Den ger dig färdigheter som behövs för att arbeta med nationella och internationella förvaltningsfrågor. Den passar dig som är intresserad av fisk, marinbiologi och limnologi (sötvattensbiologi) och som vill arbeta inom sådana områden med hållbar förvaltning.



Kursen innefattar föreläsningar av forskare som specialiserat sig på deras ämnen, föreläsningar som täcker många aspekter av fiskekologi, liksom aspekter på strategier och lagstiftning med fiskevård som mål. Under kursen kommer du att göra ett projektarbete där du och dina kurskamrater tar er an ett verkligt fall i samarbete med aktörer i fiskevårdsprojekt. Du kommer också att delta i exkursioner och få praktisk träning i olika typer av provfiskemetoder och i hur ekologisk kunskap och information effektivt kommuniceras inom förvaltningen av fiskresurser.

Betygskriterier

Marking scale: 5: Pass with Distinction, 4: Pass with Credit, 3: Pass, U: Fail

Objective: The course aims at training students in fish ecology and its applications in aquatic resource management and conservation of fish populations in freshwater, coastal and marine environments. This course gives students skills for working with national and international water and fisheries management issues.

Learning outcomes: After completing the course, students should be able to:

1. Describe essential ecological terms and theory as well as legislation and management goals relevant for fish management and conservation

2. Identify and apply ecological knowledge to current real-life issues in fish management and conservation

3. Evaluate fish management and conservation plans or measures from a fish ecological perspective

4. Summarize and communicate relevant ecological knowledge on aquatic resource management to stakeholders and fish management and conservation organizations

Learning outcome

Grade 3

Grade 4

Grade 5

1

Describe essential ecological terms and theory, as well as legislation and management goals, relevant for fish management and conservation

…discuss how ecological terms and theory relate to different types of fish management and conservation measures

(grade 5 not possible for this learning outcome)

2

Identify and apply ecological knowledge to real-life issues in fish management and conservation

…discuss and evaluate the effects of management measures from an ecological perspective

..use ecological knowledge to evaluate and compare the effects of alternative mangement measures

3

Evaluate fish management and conservation plans or measures from a fish ecological perspective

…evaluate and compare fish management and conservation measures based on their expected ecological effects in an applied case

…suggest and motivate fish management and conservation measures based on their expected ecological effects in an applied case

4

Summarize and communicate, in text, orally and with a poster, ecological knowledge on aquatic resource management to stakeholders and organizations

(grade 4 not possible for this learning outcome)

(grade 5 not possible for this learning outcome)

Requirements for examination:

Module 1. Active participation in seminars and excursions. Active participation includes: -preparation of course literature before seminar -active contribution to discussions and other learning-teaching activities during the seminars -presentation of progress of case study -giving feedback on other case studies

You are expected to attend all exercises and excursions. Exercises you missed shall be replaced by supplementary assignments which will be assessed depending on the character of the exercise and roughly resembles the time and work load of the exercise.

Module 2. Completed and approved oral and written presentation of project work. Grading is based on a written report about the case study (groupwise), compilation of a poster, as well as oral presentation of the case study.

The group report on the case study consists of a text of 10 to 12 pages (max 15) that includes a description of the case, the management question(s) and the ecological questions, the approach decided in the group to identify and analyse ecological information, discussion and suggestions for management, literature/reference list. The report shall be written as a scientific report.

The group poster presentation includes a real poster illustrating a relevant ecological issue related to the case study. The poster should be used to inform the general public about an ecological aspect that the case study representatives like to inform about. Poster presentations include a motivation why this specific ecological aspect was selected, what scientific work the students have carried out underlying the information presented, as well as an explanation of which visual clues were used to illustrate the information for a wider public.

Module 3. Individual written assignment

The individual written assignment will be in the form of a take-home exam with essay questions based on the lectures.

Grading:

Module 1. Seminars, exercises and supplementary assignments: 3: Pass, U: Fail

Module 2. Case study Report and Poster presentation (group): 3: Pass, U: Fail

Module 3. Individual written assignment: 5: Pass with Distinction, 4: Pass with Credit, 3: Pass, U: Fail

Final grades are based on grades for Module 3, given Grade 3 for both Module 1 and Module 2.
