Critical reflection

Critical Reflection At the beginning of the module, you were introduced to a scenario: You are a fisheries ecologist who monitors commercially-important fish species in the the northern Gulf of Alaska. And you are interested in learning about how life history traits and reproductive strategies intersect with overharvesting practices. And now, for your narrative reflection statement assignment, relate the information you learned in this module to this critical reflection question by writing 2-3 paragraphs: As a fisheries ecologist, how might you describe what might happen to future genetic variability, following decades of selecting on the genetic variation of commercially-important fish species? Connections to the field! To learn more about marine ecosystem responses to environmental variability and the roles ecologists play, visit the Northern Gulf of Alaska Long-Term Ecological Research website for more information!
