Abstract

A three-part program is proposed to promote the availability and use of computer
software packages to  fishery managers and researchers. The approach consists of
journal articles that announce new technologies,  technical reports that serve as user's
guides, and hands-on workshops that provide direct instruction to new  users.
Workshops, which allow experienced users to directly instruct novices in software
operation and  application are important, but often neglected. The author's experience
with organizing and conducting  bioenergetics modeling workshops suggests the
optimal workshop would take 2 days, have 10-15 participants,  one computer for every
two users, and one instructor for every 5-6 people.
