fishermen to changing conditions within the fisheries. Develops and evaluates methods for

fish stock assessment. Advises and assists staff of the Oregon Department of Fish and

Wildlife with stock assessments of commercially exploited marine finfish and with

management of finfish, salmon, and shellfish fisheries. Has teaching responsibilities for

upper division courses in population dynamics (FW431/531), marine fisheries (FW465/565),

and stock assessment methods (FW599). Advises graduate students from fisheries and from

the Marine Resource Management Program (Oceanography).
