Fisheries Centre Research Reports

 

Reports are now available for download in PDF format free of charge

 

Fisheries Centre Research Reports publish results of research work carried out, or workshops held, at the UBC Fisheries Centre. The series focuses on multidisciplinary problems in fisheries management and aims to provide a synoptic overview of the foundations, themes and prospects of current research. Fisheries Centre Research Reports are distributed to appropriate workshop participants or project partners and are recorded in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts. Copies of Fisheries Centre Research Reports are available for free download from the Fisheries Centre website.  Hard copies of FCRRs may be obtained at no charge, when supplies permit.
