Fish harder; catch more?
Perhaps the most fundamental insight from fishery science is that ecosystems impose important and predictable constraints on food production from the sea. The familiar hump-shaped growth curve implies that the growth rate and carrying capacity of a species limit its production: Once stocks are depleted, further increasing fishing pressure will only lead to decreases in catch. This logic underpi...
متن کاملBiomass spectra in benthic fish assemblages in the Benguela System
B~ornass spectra in the different benthic fish assemblages at depths between 100 and 800 m off the coast of Namibia were studied over a p e r ~ o d of 3 yr These assemblages were located in areas spanning active upwelling centres on the shelf and zones of lower productiv~ty on the lower slope. The slopes of the curves for the normallzed size distributions were related to zonal productivity and ...

متن کاملHuman, Oceanographic and Habitat Drivers of Central and Western Pacific Coral Reef Fish Assemblages
Coral reefs around US- and US-affiliated Pacific islands and atolls span wide oceanographic gradients and levels of human impact. Here we examine the relative influence of these factors on coral reef fish biomass, using data from a consistent large-scale ecosystem monitoring program conducted by scientific divers over the course of >2,000 hours of underwater observation at 1,934 sites, across ~...
متن کاملFirst Catch Your Fish: Designing a “Low Energy Fish” Label
This paper explores the application of information design principles to label design for fish packaging, identifying energy implications for the product. This stage of the project has consisted of: A review and distillation of the relevant literature on information and label design; environmental and labelling standards; and literature on consumer reaction to the design and information content ...
