Fisheries Ecology

加拿大渔业的运作很少得到渔民和其他利益攸关方的正式投入，而是依靠生物评估和政治影响来分配配额和创造可持续渔业。然而，影响人们捕鱼方式和原因的社会和文化因素直接影响可持续性。这个项目将为加拿大制定一种新的渔业管理办法，其中包括社会和经济因素，并考虑到渔民的需要与总捕获量相平衡。这项研究将发现新的保护机会，同时维持全国渔民的生计。

Canadian fisheries operate with little formal input from fishers and other stakeholders and instead rely on biological assessments and political influence to allocate quotas and create a sustainable fishery. Yet social and cultural factors that affect how and why people fish directly impact sustainability. This project will develop a new approach to fisheries management for Canada that incorporates social and economic factors and considers the needs of fishers balanced with total catch. This research will uncover new opportunities for conservation while sustaining fishers livelihoods across the country.
