Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Carleton University
$100,000.00
Fish Ecology and Conservation Physiology
FY 2017-18
Summary
Fisheries exploitation has contributed to a growing conservation crisis. There are opportunities
for improving the sustainability of all fishing sectors (i.e., recreational, commercial, First Nations)
by working on common problems such as release mortality. Building on work conducted during
Cooke's first CRC, the proposed research efforts will focus on understanding the effects of
fisheries interactions on individual fitness and population-level processes . The Chair will apply
this knowledge to develop methods to reduce release mortality, providing partners with
innovative management and conservation strategies that will ensure that fisheries in Canada are
sustainable.
