Stock Assessment Biologist

If you like wearing big rubber boots, putting your face in the water and counting fish, and learning about fishermen and their behavior, then this may be a job for you. Stock assessment biologists study more than just the biology of the fish. They use information from all kinds of fisheries along with observations of the fish to assess how many fish there are and how many can be caught by fishermen. It is a good job which lets you work on the water and in the office. This job requires good computer and analytical abilities to determine the health of the fish stock and good writing skills so everyone can understand your work.
