This course focuses on the importance of habitat for the success of marine fishes, particularly species on the shelf and in estuaries of northeastern USA. Lectures will revolve around effects of natural processes as well as human activities. Lecture topics and seminars will address important issues such as assessing the present condition of habitats important for living marine organisms; the effects of fishing gear on benthic organisms; specific mechanisms that affect recruitment, distribution, and abundance of economically important marine fishes and invertebrates; contaminated habitats; techniques for assessing habitat quality.
