Course Details
• Fisheries Data Analysis – Understanding the fundamentals of fisheries data analysis, including data collection, cleaning, and preprocessing. This unit will also cover data visualization techniques to represent fisheries data effectively.
• Time Series Modeling in Fisheries – This unit will focus on time series models to forecast fish populations and catch rates, including ARIMA, SARIMA, and exponential smoothing models.
• Stock Assessment Models – This unit will cover the most widely used stock assessment models, such as the Virtual Population Analysis (VPA) and the Surplus Production Model (SPM), to estimate fish stocks and provide management advice.
• Spatial Modeling in Fisheries – This unit will introduce spatial modeling techniques in fisheries, such as the spatially-explicit models, to account for the spatial distribution of fish populations and fishing effort.
• Machine Learning in Fisheries Forecasting – This unit will cover machine learning techniques, including decision trees, random forests, and neural networks, to forecast fish populations and catch rates.
• Integrating Ecological and Economic Models – This unit will focus on the integration of ecological and economic models to understand the impact of fisheries management strategies on both the environment and the economy.
• Model Validation – This unit will cover the techniques used to validate fisheries models, including cross-validation, bootstrapping, and holdout methods.
• Uncertainty Quantification in Fisheries Forecasting – This unit will introduce uncertainty quantification techniques, such as Bayesian methods and Monte Carlo simulations, to account for the uncertainty in fisheries forecasts.
• Climate Change and Fisheries Forecasting – This unit will explore the impact of climate change on fisheries forecasting and the development of adaptation strategies.
