We present a computational model of fishing fleet dynamics for the Queensland coral reef line fishery. The model runs in a two dimensional space with agents moving between port and the collection of available reefs. The model of rationality is based on the haystack models of game theory, such that the agents are aware of what other boats are doing and seek to maximise yield with consideration o...

Fishery lights on the surface could be detected by the Day and Night Band (DNB) of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi-NPP). The DNB covers the spectral range of 500 to 900 nm and realized a higher sensitivity. The DNB has a difficulty of identification of fishing lights from lunar lights reflected by clouds, which affect...

An unusual skin and soft tissue infection of the lower limbs has been observed in immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa who cross the Atlantic Ocean crowded on small fishing boats (pateras). Response to conventional treatment is usually poor. Extreme extrinsic factors (including new pathogens) may contribute to the etiology of the infection and its pathogenesis.

As a means of transportation in the process catching fish, ship must be owned by fishermen. The purpose this study was to determine durability made fiberglass material and know when run stopped. This research conducted for 4 months fishing laboratory assisted 2 lecturers 3 students. Students were involved order gain knowledge experience making boats fiberglass. With an experimental methods, dat...

In the Maldives, although there were fewer fatalities compared with other countries in the Indian Ocean that were affected by the tsunami, there was widespread damage to housing and infrastructure. As a result, 14 islands out of the 200 inhabited islands were made completely uninhabitable. Approximately 5% of the population was displaced, a quarter of the tourist resorts were closed, and 8% of ...

This paper deals with the issue of modeling daily catches of fishing boats in the Grand Bank fishing grounds. We have data on catches per species for a number of vessels collected by the European Union in the context of the North Atlantic Fisheries Organization. Many variables can be thought to influence the amount caught: a number of ship characteristics —such as the size of the ship, the fish...

To ensure the fishing boat security in the coastal area of Fujian, it is imperative to develop efficient forecasting control system to manage the boats operation in a safe and orderly process. The core issue of establishing the forecasting control system is to predict the relationship of the real time traffic flow and the boat security condition. However, literature review shows that limited re...
