Course description

FW 3108 is a survey of the techniques and methodologies that fisheries and wildlife biologists use to conduct research and carry out applied conservation and management efforts. This class is part of the FWCB core curriculum, taken by all FWCB undergraduate students. It covers the concepts and methods related to science-based fisheries and wildlife resource management that are important for all FWCB degree options, including the applications, assumptions, and limitations of common techniques used to investigate ecological systems and monitor and manage natural resources.
