The course covers a diverse set of topics from fish diversity, through reproductive strategies and fisheries science to perspectives on sustainable aquaculture and marine environmental issues.
Guest speakers from Marine Scotland Science and a visit to Peterhead fish market will exemplify applied science in action and give you an appreciation of the industry view of fisheries management.
Field work on rocky shores around Aberdeen will give you first-hand experience of fisheries data collection and analysis in the unusual context of a commercial invertebrate fishery.
