Modern fisheries have drastically changed the level and size dependence of mortality faced by fish populations: commercial fishing usually targets medium-sized and large individuals, which often are relatively invulnerable to natural predators. Life-history theory predicts that fish adapt to these changes through evolutionary alterations in their life histories. Experiments and models predict t...

The study examined relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Nigeria with the inputs of labour, capital and the output of fisheries. This is to ascertain that the fisheries contribution to the economy is more than is recorded in the sense that taking its indirect and direct economic impact into account, its overall contribution to the GDP of Nigeria may be higher than that measur...

Washington. Since then the graduate student symposium has been providing a unique venue for fisheries students to meet and discuss their work, and to foster communication links between graduate students in different west coast universities and departments. This report is an attempt to disseminate the information on current research and ideas been developed by students in the different universit...

fisheries industry in india is an unorganized sector of occupation where considerable proportion of workers is female. however, the prevalent gender inequality in terms of task allocation, wages, and other welfare facilities makes the men as dominant workforce. furthermore, there are occasions when incidents of workplace violence take place. the present study was conducted to find the prevalenc...

metals such as copper. Once the manganese protein has folded, the metal-binding sites are inaccessible to other metals, and the protein can be safely exposed to the periplasmic envi­ ronment. In other words, the metal that binds to the protein is selected by the compartment in which the protein folds. Tottey and colleagues suggest that cytoplas­ mic metal insertion might be crucial not only for...

The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is bound by its Article II, 3 to follow an ecosystem approach to management. This approach has been extended to the application of a precautionary approach in the late 1980s. In our review, we deal primarily with the science-related aspects of CCAMLR and its development towards an ecosystem approach to the managem...

IN THEIR REPORT “EFFECTS OF MARINE reserves on adjacent fisheries” (30 Nov., p. 1920), C. M. Roberts and co-authors present data indicating that fishery yields have increased in waters adjacent to marine reserves in St. Lucia and east Florida. In many developing island nations like St. Lucia in the Caribbean, fisheries are seriously overexploited, and little or no fisheries management exists. I...

the study analyzed the information needs and accessibility of artisanal fisher folk in benue state, nigeria. multistage sampling technique was used to select two fishing communities from each of the three agro-ecological zones in the study area. a structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 222 respondents. descriptive statistics showed that artisanal fisher folk were mostly ...
