SUMMARY:ICES Training Course: Stock assessment introduction
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:This course provides instruction, demonstration, and exercises in population modelling as applied to fishery resources. Stock assessment synthesizes information on life history, fishery monitoring, and resource surveys, using mathematical models of population dynamics. Results from stock assessments are used to determine stock size and sustainability of the fishery, and evaluate the consequences of alternative fishery management actions. First principles of population dynamics are reviewed from the perspective of modelling biological production, and several dimensions of complexity are explored. A wide range of conventional stock assessment methods are introduced.

SUMMARY:ICES Training Course: Opening the box: Stock Assessment and Fisheries advice for stakeholders, NGOs and policy makers
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:ICES is well known for providing advice on many different topics regarding marine ecosystems. One of the advice topics deals with advice on fisheries management in the North East Atlantic. While the advisory process has been opened up to external observers since 2006, there is still a need to provide a better insight to the background and methods that are used to underpin the advice. This course is intended to fill that need. The course is directed at policy makers, NGO representatives and fisheries organizations.
Registration deadline 25 August 2012
Please visit the following link for further details: http://www.ices.dk/iceswork/training/Stock%20Assessment%20and%20Fisheries%20advice%20for%20stakeholders_October2012.pdf

SUMMARY:ICES Training Course: Stock Assessment (introduction)
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:This course provides instruction, demonstration, and exercises in population modelling as applied to fishery resources. Stock assessment synthesizes information on life history, fishery monitoring, and resource surveys, using mathematical models of population dynamics. Results from stock assessments are used to determine stock size and sustainability of the fishery, and evaluate the consequences of alternative fishery management actions. First principles of population dynamics are reviewed from the perspective of modelling biological production, and several dimensions of complexity are explored. A wide range of conventional stock assessment methods are introduced.

SUMMARY:2013 Annual Symposium of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:DEEP SEA FISH BIOLOGY
BACKGROUND
The deep sea, the largest marine ecosystem on the planet, contains a remarkable diversity of fishes. It is still in an age of discovery and in the last two decades, as research technologies have advanced, our understanding of the evolution, ecology and physiology of deep-sea fishes has increased dramatically. Over the same time period, conservation of the deep sea emerged as a global concern and the sustainable management of human activities in the deep sea remains a major challenge. This timely symposium will bring together biologists from around the world who have a particular interest in deep-sea fishes. The aim is to review progress in the field and present the latest research findings. The symposium will also provide a forum for networking and fostering collaborations that further develop and advance this fascinating field of research. The proceedings of the symposium will published in a special issue of the Journal of Fish Biology.
THEME
Abstracts are encouraged that address the following themes:
Life histories
Population structure and genetics
Physiological adaptations and bioluminescence
Community structure and food-webs

SUMMARY:ICES Training Course: Ecosystem Modelling for Fishery Management
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:The course will provide an introduction to using ecosystem modelling for strategic evaluations as part of fishery management. It includes,
o a review of ecosystem model types;
o an overview of food web modelling and integration with fisheries economics;
o time-dynamic modelling with emphasis on time series fitting and environmental impacts
o ecosystem carrying capacity, and trade-offs between fisheries;
o ecosystem-level management strategy evaluation;
o spatial modeling including habitat capacity modeling, fleet-effort dynamics, MPA evaluation, and spatial optimization (zoning); and
o an introduction to using ecosystem modeling in regional management councils;
The course will be split about evenly between lectures and tutorials, with a focus on hands-on development of simple models from scratch. The intention is to give participants confidence in constructing and interpreting basic ecosystem models, as well as a basic knowledge of more advanced methodologies for modelling.

SUMMARY:COFASP Workshop
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:COFASP is an ERA-NET created to directly address actions envisaged within fisheries, aquaculture and seafood. It was created as under the KBBE theme in FP7, and is part of the Europe 2020 strategy, which recognises bioeconomy as an important part of the strategy. The main objectives of COFASP are:

SUMMARY:Northwest Marine Research Association Conference 'Between use and protection of the marine environment – knowledge generation in interdisciplinary research contexts'
DTSTAMP:20141118T110401Z
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Marine Science in NWVM bridges the gap between natural sciences and social sciences, the latter again including widely different fields such as economics, law and political sciences, as well as humanities. Scientific exchange on a local, regional, national and international level is crucial for this effort; especially internationalization is an important benchmark for the development of an interdisciplinary research agenda.
It is essential in interdisciplinary research to support the development of new scientific alliances and to lay the foundation for knowledge generation and further collaboration. The NWVM offers an excellent scientific environment for researchers from all disciplines to develop and discuss interdisciplinary research topics and compatibility of findings to ensure knowledge transfer and integration.
