Fishery-management policies based on the allocation of exclusive fishing rights, territorial use rights, and sea zoning are recurrent tools for achieving sustainability. In Chile, the 1991 Fishery and Aquaculture Law reformed division of the right to fish between the artisan and industrial subsectors, introduced sea-zoning (spacebased) strategies, and established a differential individual trans...

Recently, the investigation method has been developed to measure fishes using an underwater video camera. These methods can investigate the benthic fishery resources, but the acoustic survey cannot. However, these investigations do not use automatic measurements from the videos but only taken the videos. In this paper, we propose a method to count the scallop and the asteroid from the seabed vi...

Global decline of marine resources has triggered a worldwide demand for changing the way ocean resources are managed. Ecosystem-based management approaches have emerged using marine protected areas (MPA) as the main tool. Several classifications of marine protected areas benefits have been made, but all have focused only on the benefits to humans, neglecting many important benefits accrued to n...

The fishery for American lobster is currently the highest-valued commercial fishery in the United States, worth over US$620 million in dockside value in 2015. During a marine heat wave in 2012, the fishery was disrupted by the early warming of spring ocean temperatures and subsequent influx of lobster landings. This situation resulted in a price collapse, as the supply chain was not prepared fo...

A summary is presented of the efforts by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to determine which fishery-management measures are effective in conserving marine fisheries and in producing significant economic and social benefits, based on analyses of more than 100 fisheries in 24 OECD member countries. The evidence on management experiences is organized to focus on o...

The concept of early intervention for psychosis has received much attention in recent years. The experience of pioneer services in the USA and Australia has convinced the UK Government to set aside millions of pounds to make dedicated early intervention teams an integral part of standard mental health services across the country. Other governments are set to follow suit. The rationale for early...
