Use and assessment of marine resources

Training provided by UMR MARBEC at its site in Sète, France. This module explores the current context of fishing and global climate change on the dynamics of marine ecosystems. With a view to better understanding and predicting the effects of fishing and climate on marine ecosystems, the teaching module is structured around the identification of uses, methods of assessment, and modeling of marine resource dynamics.

EU summary content:

Interactions between resources and fishing. Analysis of marine trophic interactions. Temporal dynamics of exploited fish populations (species alternation, recruitment). Modeling of predator-prey systems. Bioenergetic modeling (DEB model). Analysis and processing of catch and fishing effort data. Data analysis using GLM and GAM.

- Acquire targeted knowledge on research topics developed in the ecology of exploited marine resources.

- Acquire general, practical, and fundamental skills related to the marine and coastal environment.

- Enable students to better understand the environmental, social, and economic challenges associated with the conservation, sustainable use, and development of living marine resources.

Master's degree in Marine Biology, Ecology, or Eco-ethology.
