Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax), which is a transboundary resource
targeted by Mexican, U.S. and Canadian fisheries, has exhibited extreme
decadal variability in its abundance and geographic distribution
corresponding to water temperature regime shifts within the California
Current Ecosystem. Our study develops a three-agent bioeconomic
framework that incorporates environmental effects on...
In the 1950s the Pacific sardine collapsed, and the fishery declined from a
historical peak of over 600,000 metric tons in 1936 to less than 100,000
tons after 1951 and was virtually nonexistent for 25 years (1965-90).
Despite this, the landings of sardine predators increased after the sardine
collapse and...
Myoglobin (Mb) was extracted from Pacific sardine and added to Pacific whiting surimi to measure its effects on protein gelation. The purity of Mb extract was determined by SDS-PAGE. Mb extracted using ethanol showed higher purity than Mb extract using ammonium sulfate. The addition of 0.2% Mb significantly reduced breaking...
