The focus of this NSERC CREATE is on freshwater fisheries, fish culture and fish conservation, and hence lies at the intersection of two fundamental environmental and social issues facing Canada and, indeed, the world: food security and biodiversity loss. In addition, Canada has globally recognized expertise in fish biology and fisheries, and more than 20% of the world's fresh water: a CREATE focused on freshwater fish is overdue, and FishCAST (Fisheries Management and Conservation Careers in Science and Technology) provides that focus. The economic value of freshwater fisheries and aquaculture production, coupled with the current and future pressures on our freshwater resources is driving strong demand for HQP to fill jobs within academia, industry, government and NGOs. FishCAST HQP trainees (> 75) will have a unique blend of research and professional skills coupled with a familiarity with the major stakeholders. Our HQP will therefore become best-qualified and -prepared employees with strengths in four areas: 1) technical expertise in fisheries and fish conservation research methodology and practice, 2) focussed professional and transferable workplace skills, 3) relevant employment and hands-on experience, and 4) familiarity with the different perspectives and disciplines that contribute to the complex social, economic, and ethical issues facing fish research, conservation and management. FishCAST is notable for providing a unique value-added training program in job readiness and job placement due to the already existing close partnerships co-applicants have cultivated with employers engaged in fisheries and fish culture. This comprehensive, career-oriented training will give our HQP a competitive edge in the global job market, build on Canada's global leadership in the field, and place HQP into economies that matter for Canada by contributing to the effective management and conservation of fish resources.

NSERC CREATE 的重点是淡水渔业、鱼类养殖和鱼类保护，因此处于加拿大乃至全世界面临的两个基本环境和社会问题的交叉点：粮食安全和生物多样性丧失。此外，加拿大在鱼类生物学和渔业方面拥有全球公认的专业知识，并拥有世界上超过 20% 的淡水资源：专注于淡水鱼的 CREATE 早该成立，而 FishCAST（渔业管理和保护科学技术职业）则提供了这一重点。 淡水渔业和水产养殖生产的经济价值，加上淡水资源当前和未来的压力，正在推动学术界、工业界、政府和非政府组织对 HQP 的强劲需求，以填补职位空缺。 FishCAST HQP 学员（> 75 岁）将拥有独特的研究和专业技能，并且熟悉主要利益相关者。因此，我们的总部将成为最合格和准备充分的员工，在四个领域具有优势：1）渔业和鱼类保护研究方法和实践方面的技术专长，2）专注的专业和可转移的工作场所技能，3）相关就业和实践经验，以及4）熟悉不同的观点和学科，这些观点和学科有助于鱼类研究、保护和管理面临的复杂的社会、经济和道德问题。 由于共同申请人与从事渔业和鱼类养殖的雇主已经建立了密切的合作伙伴关系，FishCAST 因在工作准备和就业安置方面提供独特的增值培训计划而闻名。这种全面的、以职业为导向的培训将使我们的总部在全球就业市场上具有竞争优势，巩固加拿大在该领域的全球领导地位，并通过促进鱼类资源的有效管理和保护，将总部置于对加拿大重要的经济体中。
