Fisheries Economics Research Unit
Fisheries benefits for all generations

Through its research, training and partnerships, mobilizing economics in particular, and the aquatic and other sciences in general, FERU aims to advance the management of global aquatic resources for the benefits of both current and future generations, while maintaining 'healthy' ecosystems. The unit studies the economics and management of both capture fishery resources, including related resources in the marine and freshwater ecosystems, and aquaculture resources. The unit's research is local, regional, national and international in its scope. The study of these resources is interdisciplinary by nature. Therefore, the unit works with partners and colleagues from all over the world who are biologists, mathematicians, managers, computer scientists, economists and other social scientists.

The new Fisheries Economics Research Unit logo, capturing the balance between harvesting and preservation, was designed by Mary Boone, who also designed the Fisheries Centre and Sea Around Us logos.
