Pacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is commercially
and ecologically one of the most important fishery resources
in the Pacific coast of the United States. The fishery
is currently going through a period of rapid and profound
transformation that could cause a substantial redistribution
of benefits among domestic users. Benefits from the...
The northwest coast of Mexico is accountable for almost 70 % of the
country´s fishery production. This region, which includes the Gulf of
California and the Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula, is also
extremely important in terms of biodiversity and the presence of endemic
species. Consequently, eleven marine...
Despite increasing concerns, the progress towards better management of fisheries in Mexico has been slow. The main political, social and economic forces behind over fishing in the country remain largely at place. Among the major problems are demographic pressure, open access or ill defined property rights, excessive centralization of management...
Multiobjective decision analysis (MDA) is a useful assessment method when fishery managers need a systematic investigation of the trade-offs involved in the selection of alternative policy options. An important class of techniques within MDA is vector optimization, consisting of mathematical programming models with vector valued objective functions. From the management...
Computing resources donated by volunteers have generated the first superensemble of regional climate model results, in which the Hadley Centre Regional Model, version 3P (HadRM3P), and Hadley Centre Atmosphere Model, version 3P (HadAM3P), were implemented for the western United States at 25-km resolution. Over 136,000 valid and complete 1-yr runs...
The bacteria colonizing geologic core sections (attached) were contrasted with those found suspended in the groundwater (unattached) by examining the microbiology of 16 depth-paired core and groundwater samples using a suite of culture-independent and culture-dependent analyses. One hundred twenty-two meters was continuously cored from a buried chalcopyrite ore hosted in...
Ongoing greenhouse gas emissions can modify climate processes and induce shifts in ocean temperature, pH, oxygen
concentration, and productivity, which in turn could alter biological and social systems. Here, we provide a synoptic global
assessment of the simultaneous changes in future ocean biogeochemical variables over marine biota and their broader...
