agunmukha river is an important water body having plentiful aquatic resources. the fisheries communities in the river are familiar with a diverse range of fishing gear and crafts to catch fish. therefore, the objectives of the present study were to explore fishing gear and fishing crafts, catch composition of the respective gearand identification of fish biodiversity of agunmukha river. a step ...

How can it be that fisheries appear in trouble every time newspapers report on them? Coastal and marine fisheries have existed for a long time. Initially, people waded along the shore gathering shells and harpooned whatever marine mammal or large fish ventured inshore. Only those fish and other animal species that were large and had very narrow coastal distribution were then in danger of being ...

Ships must have good performance and economic value. The purpose of this research is to investigate the motion characteristics trimaran fishing boats using Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations. findings are intended improve a basic basis for operation at Fishing Ground. ANSYS AQWA describes ship response simulation effectively. For wave direction angle 1350, trimaran's roll reaction 10.131d...

This report presents the findings of a study of subsistence salmon fishing on the Togiak River, southwest Alaska, conducted in 1997 and jointly funded by the Division of Subsistence of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Tog&k National Wildlife Refuge, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The study had two primary goals. The first was to document subsistence salmon fishing patterns by Tog...

Commercial aerial spotting of surface schools of juvenile southern bluefin tuna (SBT), Thunnus maccoyii, is conducted as part of fishing operations in the Great Australian Bight in summer. This provides the opportunity to efficiently collect large amounts of data on sightings of SBT. The data can potentially be used to construct a time-series index of relative abundance by standardising the dat...

During the past 12 years fishery managers responsible for federal fisheries off Alaska have developed and implemented three new fishery management limited access/quota share programs in place of traditional open access management. The three limited access programs are unique but each provides for the allocation of quota shares to individual participants in the halibut and sablefish longline fis...

the present study considered the situation of kilka stocks in last decades by using overfished biomass threshold, fishing effort ratio and fishing mortality proxy during 1991-2010. the cpue index of anchovy and mixed-species of kilka indicated an undepleted from 1991 to 2000. in 2000, the cpue ratio declined to close to the “in danger” region, and subsequently collapsed to “overfished” region f...

AIMS To establish the causes and circumstances of all deaths occurring at work or related to work among fishermen in British commercial fishing between 1976 and 1995. METHODS A retrospective study, based on official mortality files, with a population of 440 355 fishermen-years at risk. RESULTS Of 616 deaths in British fishing, 454 (74%) were due to accidents at work, and 394 (87%) of these ...
