Ludwig’s Ratchet and the Collapse of New England Groundfish Stocks
The stocks of principal groundfish species off New England have collapsed, creating economic hardship and dislocation in fishing communities from Rhode Island to Maine. In this article we analyze the causes of this collapse using the “ratchet effect” described by Ludwig, Hilborn, and Walters (1993) as a framework. According to Ludwig, Hilborn, and Walters, powerful economic and political intere...
متن کاملDistribution of Thiols in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean Distribution of Thiols in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean
Thiol substances can form stable complexes with metals (especially copper and mercury) in the surface ocean that can impact cycling and bioavailability of those elements. In this study, I present seven concentration profiles of cysteine and glutathione, two low-molecular weight thiols, from the coastal northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series (BATS) sampling site in the Sar...

متن کاملEstimating the information available from colored surfaces in natural scenes
The information preserved in identifying surfaces solely by their color can be quantified by measures defined by Shannon, including capacity and mutual information. The aim of this study was (1) to determine whether the capacity of an additive Gaussian channel provides an asymptotic upper bound to mutual information estimated for natural scenes under different illuminants, and (2) to explore th...
متن کاملRelationship of predation potential to mortality of Calanus finmarchicus on Georges Bank, northwest Atlantic
Based on 29 cruises on Georges Bank between January and June, conducted as part of the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics program, we describe seasonal and spatial variability of early life history mortality for the planktonic copepod Calanus finmarchicus and relate mortality to an index of predation potential from a suite of suspension-feeding predators. Emphasis is placed on the earliest li...
