This book was released on 2002-08-31 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NMFS has a difficult and complex task in managing U.S. marine fisheries. Despite some successes, too many stocks continue to decline. Over the past decade, several problems have been identified that have contributed to the current dissatisfaction with how marine fisheries are managed. This dissatisfaction is evident from the large number of lawsuits filed by the fishing industry and environmental organizations. One central problem is overfishing. Overfishing issues have been discussed in a series of NRC reports, and these reports identify overcapitalization, and technological and gear improvements as some of the causes. The reports recommend ways to stem these problems and to advance the practice of fishery science at NMFS. This report reiterates some of these recommendations, and makes new recommendations to enhance the use of data and science for fisheries management.
Download or read book Do Fish Feel Pain written by Victoria Braithwaite and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there has been increasing interest in recent years in the welfare of farm animals, fish are frequently thought to be different. In many people's perception, fish, with their lack of facial expressions or recognisable communication, are not seen to count when it comes to welfare. Angling is a major sport, and fishing a big industry. Millions of fish are caught on barbed hooks, or left to die by suffocation on the decks of fishing boats. Here, biologist Victoria Braithwaite explores the question of fish pain and fish suffering, explaining what we now understand about fish behaviour, and examining the related ethical questions about how we should treat these animals. She asks why the question of pain in fish has not been raised earlier, indicating our prejudices and assumptions; and argues that the latest and growing scientific evidence would suggest that we should widen to fish the protection currently given to birds and mammals.

Download or read book Cooperative Research in the National Marine Fisheries Service written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-11-14 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been growing interest in having fisheries stakeholders involved in various aspects of fisheries data collection and experimentation. This activity is generally known as cooperative research and may take many forms, including gear technology studies, bycatch avoidance studies, and surveys. While the process is not new, the current interest in cooperative research and the growing frequency of direct budgetary allocation for cooperative research prompted this report. Cooperative Research in the National Marine Fisheries Service addresses issues essential for the effective design and implementation of cooperative and collaborative research programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Declining harvest levels, static agency research budgets, and increasing tension among scientists, managers, and industry members are the legacy of the present research and management institutions in the West Coast groundfish fishery. Cooperative research, the active participation of the commercial fishing industry in scientific research, is receiving increased attention as a potential alternative to current practices. Its strongest attributes are its potential to improve the spatial and temporal coverage of fisheries data collection and its potential to reduce marginal research costs. Despite these potential benefits, there are several obstacles to adopting cooperative research on a large scale including concerns about biased data, compatibility and continuity with current data gathering regimes, and the motivations of the participants. This paper examines the role that attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions play in influencing one's willingness to participate in cooperative research. Six focused discussions were held with industry, scientists, and managers in the West Coast groundfish fishery to define the key issues of cooperative research and to assist in designing a written questionnaire. The questionnaire was mailed to scientists, managers, and industry members in the groundfish fishery to elicit responses on issues including the current science and management process, uncertainty, industry-scientist working relationships, and the costs and benefits of potential cooperative research projects. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine response differences among groups, and discriminant analysis was employed to identify characteristics that differentiated among groups formed as a result of their survey responses. Results indicated that both scientists and industry believe cooperative research has potential for improving fisheries science, however there were significant differences between the groups on most other issues. Generally, industry respondents were more critical of the industry-scientist working relationship and scientists' and managers' commitment to cooperation than were the scientists and managers themselves. Scientists tended to be more skeptical than industry about the direct involvement of industry in fisheries science projects such as port interview programs and independent industry scientist research organizations. Both groups demonstrated considerable heterogeneity, although industry tended to hold a greater diversity of opinions and perceptions than did scientists. Significant differences on certain issues were often explained by one's degree of involvement in the management process, state of residence, employer, job description, and gear type. The results of this survey provide useful data for the selection and design of future cooperative research projects and identify areas upon which scientists, managers, and industry need to improve if cooperative research is to play a larger role in fisheries science.

Download or read book The Future of Fisheries Science in North America written by Richard J. Beamish and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-07 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries science in North America is changing in response to a changing climate, new technologies, an ecosystem approach to management and new thinking about the processes affecting stock and recruitment. Authors of the 34 chapters review the science in their particular fields and use their experience to develop informed opinions about the future. Everyone associated with fish, fisheries and fisheries management will find material that will stimulate their thinking about the future. Readers will be impressed with the potential for new discoveries, but disturbed by how much needs to be done in fisheries science if we are to sustain North American fisheries in our changing climate. Officials that manage or fund fisheries science will appreciate the urgency for the new information needed for the stewardship of fish populations and their ecosystems. Research organizations may want to keep some extra copies for a future look back into the thoughts of a wide range of fisheries professionals. Fisheries science has been full of surprises with some of the surprises having major economic impacts. It is important to minimize these impacts as the demand for seafood increases and the complexities of fisheries management increase.
Download or read book Agriculture Forestry and Fishing Research at NIOSH written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-06-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors are the cornerstone of industries that produce food, fiber, and biofuel. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research in order to improve worker safety and health in these sectors. This National Research Council book reviews the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries. The assessment reveals that the program has made meaningful contributions to improving worker safety and health in these fields. To enhance the relevance and impact of its work and fulfill its mission, the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program should provide national leadership, coordination of research, and activities to transfer findings, technologies, and information into practice. The program will also benefit from establishing strategic goals and implementing a comprehensive surveillance system in order to better identify and track worker populations at risk.
