Credit for formalized international experiences related to agricultural sciences and natural resources. Determination of credit based on nature of the proposed experience. Students should discuss the opportunity with their faculty advisors prior to the trip to determine if it is appropriate for credit. Credit hours will be determined by the department and college depending on the extent of activity and types of projects and/or presentations to be completed by the student upon return.

This course will cover the theory and application of sample design, analysis, and interpretation of freshwater fisheries data. The course will provide students with the skills and knowledge to understand, evaluate, analyze, and interpret contemporary fisheries data. Topics will include fisheries management study design, recruitment, mortality, age and growth, abundance, biomass and production, size structure, bioenergetics, and development of management plans.
