Fisheries management and conservation careers in science and technology (FishCAST)

该NSERC创建的重点是淡水渔业、鱼类养殖和鱼类保护，因此处于加拿大乃至世界面临的两个基本环境和社会问题的交汇点：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门知识，世界上超过20%的淡水：早该创建一个专注于淡水鱼的项目，而FishCAST(科学和技术渔业管理和养护职业)提供了这一重点。淡水渔业和水产养殖生产的经济价值，加上我们淡水资源目前和未来的压力，正在推动对HQP的强劲需求，以填补学术界、工业界、政府和非政府组织的职位。FishCAST HQP培训生(&gt；75)将拥有独特的研究和专业技能的结合，以及对主要利益相关者的熟悉。因此，我们的HQP将成为最合格和准备最充分的员工，在四个方面具有优势：1)渔业和鱼类养护研究方法和实践的技术专长；2)专注于专业和可转移的工作技能；3)相关的就业和实践经验；以及4)熟悉导致鱼类研究、养护和管理面临的复杂社会、经济和伦理问题的不同视角和学科。FishCAST以提供独特的就业准备和就业安置方面的增值培训计划而闻名，因为共同申请者已经与从事渔业和鱼类养殖的雇主建立了密切的合作伙伴关系。这一全面的、以职业为导向的培训将使我们的HQP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，并通过为有效管理和保护鱼类资源做出贡献，将HQP带入对加拿大重要的经济体。

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.
