Using R for Modelling and Quantitative Methods in Fisheries

Dr. Malcolm Haddon has at least 35 years of experience in fisheries science, having worked in the Department of New Zealand Fisheries, the University of Sydney, the Australian Maritime College, the University of Tasmania, and, most recently, in Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), from which he recently retired. He has worked with: Crustacea, including crabs, prawns, and rock lobster; Mollusca, including scallops and abalone; and scale-fish, many and various. Dr. Haddon’s interests are these days focussed on all aspects of resource assessment and simulation testing of resource management using management strategy evaluation. He considers himself fortunate to have become an adjunct professor in the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Sciences at the University of Tasmania and an Honorary Research Fellow at Oceans and Atmosphere, CSIRO, in Hobart, Tasmania. In both institutions he continues to collaborate with colleagues, most recently beginning to contribute to two research programs at the university on abalone population dynamics and management.
