This course provides a foundation in fisheries science and management of freshwater game fish and non-game fish species as well as an overview of the biology, ecology, management, and conservation of aquatic resources. Students will learn various tools and metrics used to assess fish populations in both cold and warm water systems with an emphasis on watershed and whole ecosystem approaches to management. Exploration of historical and current techniques will highlight challenges in the conservation, restoration, enhancement, and management of freshwater fish populations. The legal processes of regulation of game fish species and the management of invasive species will be explored via case studies.
