SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME: MSC FISHERIES SCIENCE

Following the collapse of northern cod, fisheries catches for invertebrates such as snow crab and northern shrimp greatly increased. In recent years, crab and shrimp catches have declined while cod has not yet fully recovered.

Single species approaches struggle to explain such productivity dynamics, emphasizing the need to account for environmental influences and undertake analyses at the ecosystem scale. Climate change is adding an additional impact on marine ecosystems and fisheries.
Seeking a highly motivated MSc student to join our team investigating ecosystem and fisheries dynamics in Newfoundland, Labrador, and the Arctic (thelifeaquatis.xyz for more info). This project will involve synthesis of environmental, ecological, fisheries datasets and will contribute to ecosystem model development. Ecosystem models will be applied to answer questions related to ecosystem dynamics, fisheries impacts, ecosystem-based fisheries management, and projected climate change impacts.
