Sustaining fisheries yields over evolutionary time scales.
Fishery management plans ignore the potential for evolutionary change in harvestable biomass. We subjected populations of an exploited fish (Menidia menidia) to large, small, or random size-selective harvest of adults over four generations. Harvested biomass evolved rapidly in directions counter to the size-dependent force of fishing mortality. Large-harvested populations initially produced the...
متن کاملOcean urea fertilization for carbon credits poses high ecological risks.
The proposed plan for enrichment of the Sulu Sea, Philippines, a region of rich marine biodiversity, with thousands of tonnes of urea in order to stimulate algal blooms and sequester carbon is flawed for multiple reasons. Urea is preferentially used as a nitrogen source by some cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates, many of which are neutrally or positively buoyant. Biological pumps to the deep sea...
متن کاملThe way forward to sustaining coastal fisheries through implementing the aquasilviculture program
Declining fish catch, conversion of mangroves into fish ponds and overexploitation of coastal resources were rampant among the coastal areas of Philippines. Hence, the national government initiated the implementation of Philippine National Aquasilviculture Program aimed to achieve food security, promote sustainable development of fisheries resources, and reduce poverty incidence among fisherfol...
متن کاملCooperating Resource Managers
Operating System designers currently face two major challenges. One is the coexistence of time-sharing and dynamic real-time components on a single machine and even in the same application. The other is that many acceleration techniques (e.g. caches) used in modern hardware architectures work very well for the average case, but not for the worst case which counts for real-time systems. This sce...
متن کاملLiDAR Utility for Natural Resource Managers
Applications of LiDAR remote sensing are exploding, while moving from the research to the operational realm. Increasingly, natural resource managers are recognizing the tremendous utility of LiDAR-derived information to make improved decisions. This review provides a cross-section of studies, many recent, that demonstrate the relevance of LiDAR across a suite of terrestrial natural resource dis...
