  • Climate and Fisheries: Costs and Benefits of Change

    Creator:
    Sharp, Gary D., Klyashtorin, Leonid, and Goodridge, James
    Abstract:
    Many records provide the bases for a clearer understanding of the roles of climate regime shifts and short-term perturbations in ecosystem dynamics, hence fisheries responses. Too few have taken the long view of the role of humans in this "Grand Fugue". As one of many predators, it is imperative that...

  • Fish is More Than a Brain Food

    Creator:
    Ackman, Robert G.
    Abstract:
    From merely being cod liver oil taken for vitamins A and D, fish oils have moved into the center stage of fatty acids in nutrition. The analytical work starting in 1950 provided the means to recognize the long-chain and truly essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids vital for retinal, neurological and...

  • Optimal Storage Temperature Design for Frozen Seafood Inventories: Application to Pacific Whiting Surimi

    Creator:
    Burden, Merrick, Sylvia, Gilbert, and Kolbe, Edward
    Abstract:
    Frozen storage is an integral part of effective food distribution. In general, both food quality retention and storage costs will increase as storage temperatures decrease. In this paper, we develop a model for optimal temperature design for semi-perishable seafood inventory, and apply the model to Pacific Whiting surimi. General results...

    Caswell, Margaret and Zilberman, David
    Abstract:
    U. S. agriculture is at a crossroads. The value of traditional agricultural exports has fallen while imports have increased. Concerns about the environmental impacts of current agricultural practices threaten profitability. As O'Connell (1989) pointed out in Choices , one answer to U. S. farm problems might be found in the...

  • Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Coronary Heart Disease Prevention

    Creator:
    Harris, William S.
    Abstract:
    The evidence for a protective role of omega 3 fatty acids in CHD is becoming clearer and firmer, especially for secondary prevention. Intakes of approximately 800-1,000 mg per day appear to be a prudent approach for the latter group of patients. The safety of intakes of up to 3,000 mg...

  • Communicating Health Messages about N-3FA

    Creator:
    Nettleton, Joyce A.
    Abstract:
    Dietary advice to the public about fat consumption has consistently emphasized the reduction of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol. Against a background of conflicting and changing messages about how much and what type of fat to consume, updated messages have emerged that emphasize the fatty acid profile of the...

  • The Importance of N-3 Fatty Acids in Health and Disease

    Creator:
    Connor, William F. and Connor, Sonja L.
    Abstract:
    The n-3 fatty acids have important effects to modulate and prevent human diseases, particularly coronary heart disease. Their effects upon the brain later in life to prevent certain disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease are unknown but are certainly worthy of study. Certainly the evidence is now very strong that the...

    Nielsen, Jesper Raakjær and Mathiesen, Christoph
    Abstract:
    This paper presents the results of a research project, which has focused on Danish fishers’ acceptance of imposed fisheries regulations and their respect for the management system. The analytical framework developed by Raakjær Nielsen (1998) and Raakjær Nielsen and Vedsmand (1999) has been used. The research has focused on three...
