Semester topic “Sustainable Fisheries”

One focus point of the interdisciplinary fisheries research in Kiel is the development of age-structured, ecologic and economic multi- species models . The first papers concentrate on the Baltic as an ecosystem with the commercially important fish species cod, herring, and sprat. The goal of these models is to portray the consequences of species’ interaction and the fisheries system including prices and costs according to an ideal strategy of use.
