The main objective of this study was to estimate the demand for and net economic benefits from Oregon salmon sport fishing. The travel cost method was used as the primary technique for demand analysis. Several empirical estimates of consumer surplus per trip and per fish were obtained from different estimation...
In recent years, WTO constantly focuses on fishery subsidy negotiations, and since the Non-actionable subsidies have been cancelled, fishery subsidies norm is still hard to reach a consensus. Although the WTO president drafted a list of prohibitive subsidies in 2008, they have been implementing widely in most countries, especially the...
A balanced development between economic activities and environmental concern are profound in public and emphasized by the government policy. It is especially so with the change in working policy, thus the increase in leisure time for Eco-tourism. All along, fishing industry and marine based tourism have been major industries in...
An integrated study of growth, enzyme activity, and water potential of wheat seeds germinated under mild water stress conditions was conducted to observe the relationship among the three kinds of parameters studied. From the relationship, the cause(s) or mechanism(s) of water stress in plant growth may be enlightened. Two important...
At a hearing about the Green Paper (an analysis of the EU fisheries policy over the last 10 years and an outlook for the next decade) the following statement was given by an economist: „The Ecosystem Approach is the fata morgana of the fisheries biologists.“ Indeed, a lot of biologists...
Laboratory experiments were used to investigate the mechanism
of plant response to water stress by determining the sensitivity of leaf
elongation, photosynthesis and transpiration in young corn plants to a
decrease in leaf water potential.
In initial experiments, 9 day old corn plants were grown at soil
water potentials of...
Riboflavin status was determined in 16 Oriental
males and females who were residing off the Oregon State
University campus. Before and after these subjects had
received 10 mg of riboflavin daily for 7 days, we measured
erythrocyte glutathione reductase (EGR) activity with and
without FAD added in vitro and erythrocyte...
