A new edition of Stock Identification Methods: Applications in Fishery Science is a “broad reappraisal” of the 2005 first edition to accommodate advances in both the science and the technology, according to lead editor and SMAST professor Steve Cadrin.

“Rapid advances in several technologies inspired a major revision of the first edition,” Cadrin said. “Among other important updates, the second edition has extensive re-consideration of genetics and electronic tagging, and a concluding section on interdisciplinary analysis and synthesis for fishery management advice.”

Cadrin credits a long list of contributors, including several from SMAST. Post-doctoral researcher Lisa Kerr co-edited the book and authored several chapters. SMAST graduate students Greg DeCelles, Doug Zemeckis, Dan Goethel, Ben Galuardi, and Peter Chase authored or co-authored chapters, as did SMAST adjunct professors Jon Hare, Jake Kritzer, and Rich McBride.

The volume, published by Elsevier, will be the textbook for the course MAR622-01: Case Studies in Fisheries Science and Management: Stock Identification Methods, to be taught by Cadrin next semester.
