An evaluation of acceptable biological catch (ABC) harvest control rules designed to limit overfishing

An Evaluation of Harvest Control Rules for Data-Poor Fisheries

For federally managed fisheries in the USA, National Standard 1 requires that an acceptable biological catch be set for all fisheries and that this catch avoid overfishing. Achieving this goal for data-poor stocks, for which stock assessments are not possible, is particularly challenging. A number of harvest control rules have very recently been developed to set sustainable catches in data-poor...

An efficient method to control the amplitude of the limit cycle in satellite attitude control system

In this paper, an efficient method is presented to control the attitude of a satellite with ON-OFF actuator. The main objective of this novel method is to control the amplitude of the limit cycle which commonly appears in the steady state of such systems; and at the same time by consideration of real actuator constraints, reduce the fuel consumption of system. The Proposed method is a combinati...

Biological Overfishing of Tropical Stocks

NEXT PAGE t:> the fishery. These parents must mature, spawn, and fertilize eggs which hatch to larvae, only a very small fraction of whIch eventually survive and become fully formed young fish (recruits). Generally the females of most fish species produce several thousands of eggs, sometimes even several millions as in the case of some commercially exploited species in temperate waters. To a ce...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
