Hello Siddek,
Since you addressed your question to 'experts' I'm not
sure how many responses you will get. I've never been
convinced Fishery Science is a true science, and
wouldn't consider myself an expert either - despite
having spent more years pursuing degree's with 'Fisheries'
in the title than I would care to admit.
Instead, it seems to me like it is an amalgamation of
disciplines in which common scientific principles can be applied.
You mention both fisheries biology and stock assessment.
Pick and choose from limnology, oceanography, hydrology,
marine biology, freshwater ecology, economics, aquaculture,
statistics, population dynamics, genetics, physiology,
evolutionary ecology, conservation biology, etc., etc.
And then leave the door open for cultural anthropology,
public policy and another other 'soft' sciences where used.
At best it could be called an applied science, and the best
practitioners are probably people that would consider
their own expertise in one of these other disciplines that
they then apply to 'fishery' problems. And working on fishery
problems inevitably means picking up new skills
With regards to books I would recommend
Introduction to the Practice of Fishery Science
by William F. Royce (Editor)
as the best source for this discussion. It was updated in 1996,
from an original publication he had in 1973.
I'm not completely sure of the history but I think the book
was written in part as a response to the argument
within academic circles that fisheries science should not stand
on its own as a separate department or degree program.
A battle that probably is still being played out.
I would be interested in what other 'non experts' had
to say as well.
Regards,
-Pete
