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.

"This is an excellent update to the earlier versions of this book by Dr. Haddon and is a "go-to" resource for fisheries students and professionals alike. The development of a comprehensive R package to accompany the well-written text is a substantial update to the earlier text. One of the strengths of this book is the integration between the text and the examples provided which I have found really helps to reduce the time required to implement these methods into ones on research. Highly recommended text."- Bill Pine, University of Florida
