There are high possibilities in the near future that great earthquakes occur and large-scale tsunamis attack Japan. In fishing ports facing on the ocean where a large number of fishing boats are moored, these boats would be littered in the ports, or drifting boats would collide with back-yard-structures, if such a tsunami attacks, like an event actually happened at Hokkaido in 1993. This is one...

Previous work has examined optimal fisheries management in idealized institutional contexts, as well as the effectiveness of real institutions in improving the efficiency of the fishery, but there remain further connections to be made between these literatures. Fishing cooperatives have been advocated as a community-based institution that can successfully manage resources where top-down managem...

Fishing Is one of the few activities left in which people harvest what they have not sown an anachronistic leftover from the times of hunters-gatherers. The transition from hunting and gathering to farming on land took place several thousand years .a90 in most cultures; with fisheries this transition is only now beginning to take place on a large scale, and may be completed only well into the n...

Fishing wealth is one of the richest resources in Sultanate Oman. It considered as most important economic developments that nation depends on a larger way. The Oman characterized by presence large fishing fleet number vessels and boats it. Good research with application modern technology fishermen required to increase quality providing safe secure experience. Artificial intelligence (AI) boat ...

Global fisheries landings data from a range of public sources was harmonised and mapped to 30-min spatial cells based on the distribution of the reported taxa and the fishing fleets involved. This data was extended to include the associated fishing gear used, as well as estimates of illegal, unregulated and unreported catch (IUU) and discards at sea. Expressed as catch rates, these results also...

This paper identifies factors that influence the demand for a black bass fishing trip taken in the Southeastern U.S. using a double hurdle negative binomial count data model. The probability of fishing for a black bass is estimated in the first stage and the trip frequency for fishing a black bass is estimated in the second stage given that the individual has a positive probability towards unde...

Commercial and subsistence fisheries pressure is increasing in the Gulf of California, Mexico. One consequence often associated with high levels of fishing pressure is an increase in bycatch of marine mammals and birds. Fisheries bycatch has contributed to declines in several pinniped species and may be affecting the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) population in the Gulf of Califor...

Several research initiatives have been undertaken to map fishing effort at high spatial resolution using the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). An alternative to the VMS is represented by the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which in the EU became compulsory in May 2014 for all fishing vessels of length above 15 meters. The aim of this paper is to assess the uptake of the AIS in the EU fishi...

In 2012, approximately 40,000 suicides were reported in the United States, making suicide the 10th leading reported cause of death for persons aged ≥16 years (1). From 2000 to 2012, rates of suicide among persons in this age group increased 21.1%, from 13.3 per 100,000 to 16.1 (1). To inform suicide prevention efforts, CDC analyzed suicide by occupational group, by ascribing occupational codes ...

We reviewed medical records from select wildlife rehabilitation facilities in California to determine the prevalence of injury in California Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis), gulls (Larus spp.), and pinniped species (Zalophus californianus, Mirounga angustirostris, and Phoca vitulina) due to fishing gear entanglement and ingestion from 2001 to 2006. Of 9,668 Brown Pelican, gull, and pinn...
