Technology for Finding Squid Fishing Grounds.

A modeling approach to identify optimal habitat and suitable fishing grounds for neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii) in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Two predominant currents, the warm Kuroshio Current and the cold Oyashio Current, meet in the Northwest Pacif ic Ocean. The interaction of these two currents between the subtropical and subarctic fronts forms a transition region (Roden, 1991). The dynamic of the physical oceanographic structures in this region, including meandering eddies and frontal zones, results in a highly productive habita...

An oceanographic characterization of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) longline fishing grounds in the springtime subtropical North Pacific

During January–May, surface manifestation of multiple, individual basin-scale fronts accentuate the central North Pacific Subtropical Frontal Zone (STFZ) system. The most prominent of these fronts are climatologically located at 32 )34 N and at 28 )30 N latitudes [herein nominally referred to as the ‘Subtropical Front’ (STF) and the ‘South Subtropical Front’ (SSTF), respectively], although cons...

Hepatic and branchial biomarker responses in Solea spp. from several NW Mediterranean fishing grounds

Design for end-user acceptance: requirements for work clothing for fishermen in Mediterranean and northern fishing grounds.

Fishing is one of the most dangerous occupations, and as many as 24,000 fishermen around the world suffer fatal injuries or drowning at sea every year. Although fishermen in the European fishing fleet work in harsh and dangerous environments, many fishermen do not use personal protective clothing and buoyancy aids due to reduced work comfort and poor functionality. This emphasizes the importanc...
