Lecture: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30 - 12:20 am, AK 116
Lab: Monday 2:30 - 5:20 pm, AK 112
Objectives
Lecture: The primary objective of lectures will be to review both the
conceptual background of and current approaches to fisheries management. This will include coverage of sampling
design and methodology, harvest strategy, data analysis, and habitat
evaluation. The emphasis of this
class is the exploitation of fish populations, thus we will often discus the
human dimensions of fisheries management.
Lab: The laboratory exercises will provide hands on experiences with
various sampling gears, laboratory analysis, and data analysis. Because we have
a limited number of waders, you are encouraged to purchase or borrow a pair so
that you can fully participate in the field activities.

AFS guidelines for authors
Select a topic from the list of subjects given below or pick your own topic; however all topics must be approved by the instructor. Only one topic per student, so the earlier you choose your topic the better chance you'll have to work on that subject. The paper should provide an overview of the chosen topic along with a summary of particular management or data analysis techniques. In addition, you are required to provide a discussion of the possible application of this subject in Kansas. The manuscripts should follow the format of Transactions of the American Fisheries Society and should not exceed a total of 15 double spaced pages (12 pt font), including tables, figures, and references. You will need a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed journal articles (see http://catnet.ksu.edu/db/biology.html for Hale Library electronic databases; Note Web of Science is a great resource). If you are not sure if your articles are peer-reviewed, check with the instructor. The grading will be a three-step procedure. First, you will submit a draft of the Introduction, Methods, and Literature Cited, which will be graded and returned to you (20 points). The Introduction should provide a background of the subject area, a statement of the problem, and a statement of the objectives of the paper. The Methods should include a list of databases or sources (but not a list of journals) you used to investigate your topic. Second, you will submit a draft of the whole paper (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, and Literature Cited worth 50 points). The Results and Discussion will address the main objectives of your research that you listed in your Introduction. Third, you will submit a final paper that is worth and additional 30 points (see schedule for due dates).

Presentation (50 points)
Each student will give a 10 minute oral presentation to the class on the
manuscript topic they selected. These presentations will be done using
PowerPoint. The presentation is worth 50 points; 25 for content, 5 for timing;
5 for delivery; 5 for organization, 5 for visual aids, and 5 for fielding
questions.
Paper discussions and participation (50 points)
We will spend five class periods discussing articles that are pertinent to
Fisheries Management. Assigned papers are listed on the syllabus or will be
announced a week in advance. It is the responsibility of the student to get a
copy of the article from the library. For discussion groups, each student will
be required to come to class with a copy of the paper and two written questions
(to be turned in). Each question will be written on the board and randomly
selected students will lead the discussion. Included in this grade will be your
participation in these discussions as well as other class activities (e.g.,
field trips, laboratory exercises, etc....).
All assignments must be turned in on time. Late assignments will not be graded.
