Fisheries science

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fisheries science is an interdisciplinary science that is structurally related to agricultural science . Her areas of expertise include further basic sciences and special biological, geological, ecological and economic areas of science. Your job is to develop basic skills in all areas of fishing.

At the universities , the research areas are divided in practice according to the focus of different universities. The following is an overview of the situation in Germany:

  • Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin , fishery management and ecology, especially in angling
    • Research area 1: Scientific component
    • Research area 2: Social science direction

In principle, the following standards according to universal decimal classification and Dewey decimal classification are recognized:

The classification of fisheries science works varies for individual works according to their disciplinary focus.

History and politics are not classic fields of fisheries science. Nevertheless, works by the fisheries scientist Dietrich Sahrhage on the history of fishing in general and in particular on fish in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia as well as information on the cod war are worth mentioning.

history

The first approaches to fishing science date back to the 19th century. In 1842 Louis Agassiz finished his work History of the Freshwater Fishes of Central Europe (1839-1842). With the invention of the Secchi disc by Angelo Secchi in 1865, a simple tool was developed to determine the depth of view in a body of water. In the 1880s, two more important publications appeared, namely in 1885 “Der Dorfteich als Lebensgemeinschaft” by the teacher and biologist Friedrich Junge (Kiel) and two years later the article “The lake as a microcosm” by Stephen Alfred Forbes (Illinois). In 1888 Anton Fritsch opened the first biological freshwater station in Bohemia.

At the beginning of the 20th century the view began to gain acceptance that fisheries research is a prerequisite for efficient fishing operations. In 1902 Richard Kolkwitz and Maximilian Marsson published for the first time about the saprobic system they had developed , with which the degree of pollution of rivers can be assessed. It was supplemented in 1918 by the classification of lakes based on their range of plant nutrients, which the Swedish biologist Einar Naumann had developed. At the same time he introduced the terms oligotrophic and eutrophic into limnology. Two years later, when the German August Thienemann combined his system with Naumann's classification method, the classic lake type system was born.

The history of the origins of fisheries science at this time is generally connected with its sub-areas of biology , ecology and others. Oceanography and limnology are among the origins of fisheries science. In 1904, for example, François-Alphonse Forel's three-volume work on Lake Geneva, entitled “Le Lac Leman: Monographie Limnologique”, was completed. From the history of research institutions in Germany are the biological department for fisheries and wastewater issues at the Zoological Institute of the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster (around 1900), the hydrobiological institute in Plön , the "Laboratory for international marine research" in Kiel (around 1900) and further known. In 1911, Edward Asahel Birge and Chancey Juday published the results they had obtained on American lakes.

In 1944 George Evelyn Hutchinson published posthumously the work "The trophic-dynamic aspect of ecology", written by Raymond Laurel Lindeman in 1942 , in which the role of the flow of energy and matter within an ecosystem and the equilibria that depend on it are described. In 1970 Bruce L. Kimmel et al. incorporated the reservoir into limnology, in 1985 Gene Likens published his studies of aquatic ecosystems based on research at Mirror Lake. Among other things, he spoke out in favor of the catchment area concept . In 2004, Jochen Trautner and Cathrin Schmidt published their study on the application of molecular genetic methods in fisheries research.

From the end of the 20th century, fisheries science discovered serious deficiencies in the management of ecosystems. In 2009, for example, Boris Worm and others published their study Rebuilding Global Fisheries on the need to rebuild global fish stocks. In the 21st century, fisheries economy and fisheries biology and other areas of fisheries science are treated holistically in science. This development was accompanied by criticism, suggestions from the DFG and the international harmonization of courses at universities. The University of Rostock describes its interdisciplinary department in 2010 as follows: "The 'Maritime Systems' department brings together marine researchers, engineers, farmers, humanities and social scientists as well as economists and lawyers."

Research institutions

Germany

The focus of fisheries research in Germany in 2010 was at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel , the Leibniz Institute for Marine Sciences IFM-GEOMAR and the Institute for Hydrobiology and Fisheries Sciences at the University of Hamburg . The list “University institutes dealing with fisheries research topics” published by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection shows a total of 17 institutions.
