The studies that stand out are those carried out by a group from the University of Alberta, led by Krkosek. What

Fisheries committee  I've not done the mathematics, but I've followed them. I can follow them. I have a degree in physics. And I know that they're correct, for what it is. I know that his sampling, because I visited the Broughton Archipelago, was also good. What I can tell you from my own experienc

Fisheries committee  In French or in English, as you wish. Would you like me to give it in French?

Fisheries committee  I'm going to give it in English, because there are more English-speaking people here. Or I'll use both languages; that's it. I'm here as an independent person. I would like to thank the committee for having invited me. I'm a professor at Simon Fraser University. I've been stu
