Exercise-induced menstrual dysfunction (ExMD) is prevalent (6-79%) in active women and may result from low energy availability. Unfavorable lipid profiles have been reported in women with ExMD; low energy intake may also increase risk for poor nutritional status. PURPOSE: To compare nutritional status (diet, blood) and lipid profiles in active...
Recent interest in the carbon dynamics of Earth demands precise quantification
of carbon fluxes, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), that may
reveal characteristics and responses of significant carbon pools to environmental
change. As a component of a larger carbon budget project within
HJ Andrews Experimental Forest we are quantifying...
These four items document the 2010-2011 permitting process to stabilize the eastern edge of the Hatfield Marine Science Center property. During late 2006, erosion forced the closure of the HMSC public estuary trail. In March 2007, an erosion control project using a gravel beach or "dynamic revetment" resulted in the...

During the early fall of 1998, I made contact with Therese Graf Tanalski
when I was searching for family members of deceased Hall of Fame
members. Therese grew up in Corvallis, attended OSU, and married a 1944
CE graduate, Theodore T. Tanalski.
During my conversations and correspondence with Mrs. Tanalski...
In 2011 the FAO Committee on Fisheries tasked FAO with the development of an international instrument in the form of guidelines for securing sustainable small-scale fisheries (SSF Guidelines). The SSF Guidelines will facilitate the empowerment and mobilization of stakeholders to promote change towards sustainable small-scale fisheries and hence facilitate the...
Social networks and social capital can facilitate or constrain collaborative arrangements which can enhance resource governance and adaptability in complex social-ecological systems such as fisheries. Yet, the impact of ethnic diversity among resource users on social network capital in the context of resource governance has not been previously examined. To...
Small pelagic fishery is one of the socio-economically important fisheries in Morocco. In 2010, it accounts for more than 80% of the total landing weight, corresponding to approximately 0.17 billion €. Considering this fishery’s large contributions to employment, trade, transportation and processing industry, sustainable development of this fishing sector is...
We previously developed a spatially explicit, individual-based model (IBM) evaluating the bio-economic efficiency of fishing vessel movements between regions according to the catching and targeting of different species based on the most recent high resolution spatial fishery data. The main purpose was to test the effects of alternative fishing effort...
There is a marked need to better understand the interconnectivity between poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability since impoverished communities are often dependent upon their natural habitat to meet basic needs, and strategies to improve the livelihoods of the poor must consider the role of their natural environment. While previous studies...
The Baltic Sea is referred as the most polluted sea in the world. The most serious problem is the eutrophication that is a consequence of nutrient loading through human based activities. Nutrient enrichment has led to growth of phytoplankton that has induced increased algal blooms and oxygen depletion in the...
“Gender equality thinking should not focus just on the numbers of women and men in fish
supply chains”, said Gifty Anane-Taabeah (Ghana), the final panelist on Overcoming Gender
Equalities in Fish Supply Chains. The panel and two presentation sessions (Markets and Value
Chains for Small Aquaculture Enterprises and Looking at...
Ecosystem based fishery management has moved beyond rhetorical statements calling for a more holistic approach to resource management, to implementing decisions on resource use that are compatible with goals of maintaining ecosystem health and resilience. Coupled economic-ecological models are a primary tool for informing these decisions. Recognizing the importance of...

The Mexican Oyster fishery in the Gulf of Mexico annually produces only
50,000 MT, 95% of Mexico oyster production. Oyster production has
fallen drastically in most coastal lagoons, this decline has been attributed to
factors as overfishing, mismanagement of natural oyster beds,
environmental degradation and lagoons pollution. This work proposes...
Fisheries exploitation at a large scale in the South Atlantic is recent.
Fisheries have experienced an extraordinary growth in the last 15 years. In
Argentina the growth of fisheries exploitation took place at unprecedented
rates, and this has been one of Argentina's most dynamic economic sectors
in recent times. It...
Establishing an effective management of former open access fisheries can
increase resource rents from close to zero to numbers as high as several
hundred Mio $ p.a., as it has been the the case in Iceland's cod fishery.
Whenever the corresponding harvesting rights are given out free of charge
as...
This study estimates the demand for saltwater recreational angling trips
within the Southern California Commercial Passenger Fishing Vessel
(CPFV) fishery. The CPFV fishery provides a variety of trip types to
support recreational anglers targeting several species including, tuna,
rockfish, yellowtail, and shark. Trips vary by fishing location, by length of...
Environmental resource values are often obtainable only through stated
preference or hypothetical surveys because other nonmarket valuation
methods only account for part of the resource value or are unsuitable.
Despite the recent popularity and many advances in discrete choice
techniques for nonmarket valuation, the implications of questionnaire
structure, namely framing...
Production in the aquaculture sector is often associated with pollution and as being harmful to the environment. Trying to change that reputation and stimulate growth, a new more environmental friendly method of production has been developed and introduced in Danish fresh water trout farms. The purpose of this paper is...
Small-scale aquaculture is fundamental to the livelihoods of many of the
rural poor in Asia and Africa. There is growing evidence that in many cases
the poorer people have the greater dependence on aquatic resources,
particularly low-value fish and non-fish aquatic resources. However, in
spite of the benefits, the potential...
For proper utilization of Tal wetland ecosystem through natural resource
management and for updating production system through the integration of
fish-crop diversity and its proper implications to its farmers level through
modernizing adaptive technologies as well, IT system, a composite

farmers...
We examine the realities of selected African fisheries, and assess the extent
to which the existing governance assumptions and management
arrangements are appropriate. Fisheries management in sub-Saharan Africa
is largely derived from a target resource management paradigm, with
interventions largely focussed on limiting fishing effort for single stocks.
We argue...
Adoption of aquaculture, particularly among the rural poor, requires timely
and quality seed at the farmer level. In areas of Northwest Bangladesh, the
region considered most marginalised for food production, carp polyculture
has been improved through the introduction of Nile tilapia, but constrained
by under-developed seed supply. In order to...
The aquaculture industry in the UK has experienced substantial growth in
the past two decades. The productivity and competitiveness of the sector to
a great extent depends on the favourable health status that the sector enjoys
relative to other major salmon producing countries in Europe. Currently the
UK is subject...
Fisheries constitute a major productive sector in Latin America and the Caribbean. This sector generates income, provides employment, and makes a significant contribution to food security and the generation of foreign exchange. With most fishery resources fully exploited or depleted, opportunities for fishery development lie primarily in restoring depleted
stocks...
The Philippines, located within the Coral Triangle which represents the epicenter of marine life abundance and diversity, is the source of groupers traded in Hongkong, China, Singapore and other countries. Grouper production in the country (19.7 th mt), gross value (USD 5.8 mil) and trade value (USD 14.4 mil) is...
Inspired by the export boom developing countries got involved in multiple
export earning activities. However shrimp exports have become quite
lucrative activities for many developing countries including Bangladesh.
Shrimp occupies a good chunk of our export income. In calculating the
return from shrimp exports the usual practice is the nominal...
The economy of Bangladesh has benefited enormously from the rapid
development of the aquaculture production, in particular from shrimp
cultivation. In 2007-08 Bangladesh earned US$ 445.41 million from
shrimp export, which is about 4.25% of the value of total national export.
There are over 600,000 people employed directly in shrimp...
The paper is the first attempt to explore the ecological and economic impacts of genetic interaction between farmed and wild salmon over generations. An age- and stage-structured bioeconomic model is developed. The biological part of the model includes age-specific life history traits such as survival rate, fecundity, spawning success for...
Aquaculture investments in virgin situations are subject to a large number
of variables and range in values. This is even more so when considering
investments in open ocean aquaculture.
The paper presents the key factors and results obtained for a proposed
large-scale open ocean aquaculture development in Western Australia with...
Bycatch is a nearly universal problem for fisheries, and it is becoming
increasingly common to place strict limits on allowable bycatch, either on
individuals or as a cap on an industry sector s bycatch. Individual bycatch
quotas strengthen individual incentives to avoid bycatch and may reduce
the likelihood that the...
The bycatch problem has remained troubling and persistent, even in
fisheries that have rationalized their target fisheries. The Alaskan Pollock
fishery is an example of a fishery struggling to contain the bycatch of
salmon in spite of a transformation of incentives associated with a
harvester coop system in the target...
With a national policy on catch shares in progress in the United States and
increasing use of transferable fishing rights in fisheries worldwide, it is
important to understand how the markets created by these programs
function in the real world. This paper presents information collected from
interviews with Florida spiny...
Management actions considered by regional fishery management councils
can generate significant impacts on the magnitude and distribution of the
economic and sociocultural well-being of stakeholders. It is therefore
important that policy analysts be able to account for the relevant parties
whose economic well-being is affected by fisheries and derive estimates...
Assessing distribution of the expected bio-economic impacts of
management measures between fleet segments is a main issue for decision
making in fisheries management. This requires as a first step a good
description of the system and of the interactions between fleets through
stocks. Making this assessment operational also needs flexible...
How do fishermen choose where to fish? A logistic random utility model
(RUM) of fisher location choice by beam trawlers in the southwest of
England was used to help answer this question. The RUM was
parameterised using data from the EU vessel monitoring system, the UK
logbook Fishing Activity database...
This paper examines the impact of community based fish culture in
seasonal floodplains on fish production, consumption, income and food
security of the participating households in Bangladesh. About 30 percent
households of the three project and control floodplains were randomly
selected, from whom data were collected using longitudinal surveys on...
Aquaculture is an industry regarded as being uniquely placed to reverse
declining supplies from capture fisheries in many developing countries.
There is a growing consensus that this industry offers potential in meeting
key components of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) around the
globe. While drawing analogue from national statistical data and...
Aquaculture is one of the most dynamic food-producing subsectors
worldwide. In the Philippines, shrimp monoculture started in the 1980s,
only to collapse less than a decade later due to disease. More recently,
extensive polyculture of fish, shrimp and mud crabs has developed. The
objective of this paper is to analyze...
Aquaculture activity as an enterprise is fast spreading in Malaysia partly
due to the government initiation and support as reflected in the 9th
Malaysia Plan. In addition to the support of national policy the availability
and viability of new technologies are being analyzed and introduced to the
industry. New species...
The high demand for fish and its products that cannot be met by capture fisheries and importation but by domestic production through fish farming has made Urban aquaculture to attract increasing attention for its role in feeding people and recycling wastes in many parts of Nigeria. This study made use...
Recent articles in the multidisciplinary fisheries literature have been critical
of fisheries economics concepts and literature. For example, a paper by
Bromley (2009) entitled Abdicating Responsibility: The Deceits of
Fisheries Policy: Fisheries 34(6):280-302, provides a critical review of
fisheries economics. I explore the main issues raised in this paper and...
The impact of technological adoption on economic growth is a critical issue for economic policy in the developing world. The issue is further compounded for industries exploiting renewable common resources with ill-structured property rights, because greater efficiency increases pressure on the resource stock. The paper analyzes the effect of adoption...
The herring stocks in the Northeast Atlantic were nearly fished to
extinction in the 1970s. This collapse is usually attributed to advances in
fishing technology. The impact of productivity shocks depends critically on
how sensitive the fish catch is to the size of the stock. If the catch per unit...
Bio-economic models are increasingly used to provide scientific advice in
fisheries management integrating both biological and socio-economic
considerations. In this context it becomes important to evaluate how
different recovery scenarios will influence the future situation for the
fishing fleets, particularly through the investment/disinvestment decisions
of fishing capacity.
In this paper,...
We compare the productivity of technology adopters to non-adopters using
a cross-sectional survey of artisanal gillnet vessels on the east coast of
Peninsular Malaysia. Technologies include cell phones, GPS, sonar, and
mechanical winches for hauling nets. Stochastic frontier analysis is used to
measure differences in production frontiers and technical efficiency...
Incorporating catch or harvest rate information in repeated-choice recreation fishing demand models is challenging, since multiple sources of information may be available and detail on how harvest rates change within a season is often lacking. This paper develops a framework for evaluating which source(s) of information should be used to...
The World Bank has fostered introduction of an individual quota
management system in the world's largest fishery based on both economic
and social studies. The implementation of the quota legislation has
uncovered a range of issues which were largely foreseen but fall outside the
remit of the fisheries authorities. The...
The cumulative global loss of economic potential from fisheries over the
last 30 years is US $3 trillion. More than half of these fishery sector losses
come from developing countries. However, these are only primary costs
and do not take into account human security risks associated with poorly
governed fisheries....
In the globalizing era, world trade of fishery resources has sharply
increased. Because capture fisheries are hard to be managed, growing
opportunity for fishery trade may cause the overexploitation of world
fishery resources. For instance, the theoretical model developed by
Takarada et al (2009, mimeograph) implies that fish stocks may...
The UN Law of the Sea of 1982 assigned rights and responsibilities to the
fishery resources within 200 nautical miles of the coast (i.e.,the Exclusive
Economic Zones: EEZs) to the adjacent maritime countries. A key
responsibility is the requirement that these countries manage their marine
living resources sustainably through time...
