If you are concerned about the conservation of marine ecology, "fishery" is definitely an important part you can't miss.🐟🐟🐟
Fishery resources are important biological resources on the planet, and their quantity will change over time. These changes may be due to the characteristics of the organisms, the changes in the marine ecological environment, or the interference and influence of human activities. The ocean is not as big as we thought, and the fishery resources are not inexhaustible and inexhaustible. The destruction and pollution of the marine environment, as well as overfishing, will cause the depletion of fishery resources and destroy the habitat of marine organisms. Therefore, we must have a reasonable and wise harvest plan, limit the number, size and season of the catch, and formulate a complete set of fishery management methods, so that the fishery resources can be used sustainablely.
The research focuses of this laboratory are the following four areas:
🌊Fishery ecology
Research and understand the biology, ecology, life history of important economic fishery organisms (such as highly migratory fish and crustaceans) and their relationship with environmental factors (or ecological habitats). Field biological survey and sample collection, life history parameter estimation and biological mathematical model theory and application.
🌊Analysis of fishery observation data
Analysis and research of real-world fishery observation data, such as fishery logbook or observer. Applying statistical methods to analyze fishery data, understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of fisheries (vessel) and fish populations, and investigating the relationships between the environmental factors and fishery observation data.
🌊Fish population dynamics and resource assessment
The population dynamics and stock assessment of important economic fishery species (such as highly migratory fish and crustaceans), and provide scientific advice on sustainable use of resources to the domestic and foreign fishery management organizations. Apply various advanced statistical methods to develop resource assessment models; apply computer simulations to explore various issues of resource assessment models; fishery management strategies evaluation.
🌊The impact of climate change on fishery resource assessment
Consider the changes in fish life history (such as growth and mortality), environmental factors, and habitat in the stock assessment model; conduct a risk assessment and explore its impact and application on fishery management. Ecosystem-based fishery resource assessment and management.
Are you interested in fishery resources and ecology? Or do you like doing experiments to dissect fish; or you have a good sense of "numbers" and are a computer geek? This laboratory welcomes you to join us and participate in the most important fishery resource research in Taiwan and the world. Let us work together to contribute to the conservation and sustainability of fishery resources.👍
