Fisheries biology is a scientific discipline which is focused on the study of natural history of exploited populations and their dynamics under impact of fisheries in order to propose measures for rational exploitation and stable fisheries management. Therefore, the subject provides knowledge of fish habitats and characteristics of reproduction, growth and feeding of exploited fish populations and their dynamics related to the natural conditions which fish live in and under the impact of fisheries. Relevant contents such as main resources of fisheries, methods for fishing and statistics of fisheries data, models for stock assessment and fisheries management are also introduced in this subject.

This course will review major ecological concepts, identify the techniques used by ecologists, provide an overview of local and global environmental issues, and examine individual, group and governmental activities important for protecting natural ecosystems.  The course has been designed to provide technical information, to direct the student toward pertinent literature, to identify problems and issues, to utilize research methodology for the study of natural ecosystems, and to consider appropriate solutions and analytical techniques. 

This course is designed to support students to pratice skills in the laboratory, method collect and analyse data in ecological research. Some ecological field studies also help students to practice skills: observe, comment, collect sample and analyse ecological data... Other, this courses also help students know how can rational exploitation of natural resources and preserve the purity of our environment for the sustainable development.
