Selective flatfish seine: a knee-high demersal seine barely catches cod

Predicting the effect of seine rope layout pattern and haul-in procedure on the effectiveness of demersal seine fishing: A Computer simulation-based approach

Demersal Seining is an active fishing method applying two long seine ropes and a seine net. Demersal seining relies on fish responding to the seine rope as it moves during the fishing process. The seine ropes and net are deployed in a specific pattern encircling an area on the seabed. In some variants of demersal seining the haul-in procedure includes a towing phase where the fishing vessel mov...

Comparison of fish catches from a buoyant pop net and a beach seine net in a shallow seagrass habitat

A large (25 m2), remote-release buoyant pop net, 1989), and to do this, a buoyant pop net was designed floorless to permit normal behaviour by benthic fish, and a with the aim of making a more complete cat&. The beach seine net were comparing the catch seine net is also unwieldy when fish need to be collected the 2 net types. Both nets were made of 1 mm mesh, aimed at catchina fish from 10 to 1...

The ecological quality status of the Bay of Seine and the Seine estuary: use of biotic indices.

Using recent indices developed, in part, for use under the European Water Framework Directive (AMBI, BENTIX, BOPA, BQI, I2EC and the trophic index ITI), the ecological quality status of two highly contaminated environments--the Bay of Seine and the Seine estuary (Eastern English Channel)--was determined on several spatial and temporal scales. Data from 604 observations gathered over a 14-year p...

Beratungsdialog im WWW: Ein konversationales Modell und seine Implementierung

The paper deals with the development of advice-giving agents on the WWW. Based on work in the EU project VIP-Advisor, a general dialogue model was developed for advice sessions which formed the basis of the realisation of an advice-giving agent. Its dialogue capability was extended using case-based reasoning (CBR) methods such that the system was not only able to execute the intended dialogue p...
