Oral presentation at the 8 World Recreational Fishing Conference, Victoria, Canada.
There are growing concerns about the impact of Marine Recreational Fishing (MRF) on ecosystems and its combined effects with other human activities, such as commercial fishing, especially in the higher trophic levels. On the other hand, recreational fishers make a considerable economic contribution by their expenses in materials, boats, licenses and travel costs and accommodation. However, little research has been conducted on MRF in Europe, particularly in the South. In the Euroregion Galicia-Northern Portugal extensive research in basic features of MRF is still needed to support management decisions and to reduce growing conflicts between recreational and commercial fishers and other stakeholders. In this work we have analysed the social, economic and ecological impact of the MRF in this Euroregion by characterizing the types of users, estimating their costs and their catches by species. In particular, we have performed on-site and on-line interviews with fishers of the different mêtiers to gather economic information (costs, disbursements and profitability), social (education, occupation, age, residence, sex, generation of direct and indirect jobs and complementarity with commercial fishing and tourism) and ecological (trends and factors influencing abundances, gears used, species targeted and seasonal and daily effort and catches). Management recommendations have been given to improve socio-ecological sustainability of MRF.

Oral presentation at the 8 World Recreational Fishing Conference, Victoria, Canada.
There is growing recognition of the importance of inclusion human dimension in models for the assessment of stocks and the development of fisheries management measures. The sustainable management of these complex socio-ecological systems involves integrating different administrative levels or incorporating bottom-up management approaches. The objective of this paper is to present a critical review of the current management of Marine Recreational Fisheries (MRF) in Europe, in the context of increasing demand for marine ecosystem services that is leading to conflicts between groups of stakeholders. In particular, we analyzed how the European regulations on MRF support the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) in different geographic areas. The European Union (EU), national, and regional legislation were analyzed for four countries (Germany, Portugal, Spain and the UK) chosen to represent the full range of conditions across Europe. An Integrated Policy Legal Index (IPLI) for each of the countries was calculated from 57 criteria including biophysical attributes (geographical, ecological and biological aspects), social drivers across a range of stakeholders, and attributes of the governance systems. The IPLI was used to assess if the different legal frameworks follow the principles considered prerequisites for long-term, sustainable management of community-based common pool resources. Scale and institutional issues impacting on the management of MRF in Europe will be discussed including impacts on targets for ecological and socio-economic sustainability.

Genetic diversity and association analysis for different morphological traits...Open Access Research Paper
Capsicum annuum L. is the extensively cultivated species of peppers (chilies) in all over the world. Its fruits are used for spiciness (capsaicin) and color (capsanthin) in our daily foods. Pakistan is the leading chili consuming country. Genetic divergence among 25 accessions (local and exotic) collected from Ayub Agriculture Research Institute (AARI) Faisalabad, Pakistanwas estimated from the data collected during the year 2014 in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan for different morphological and growth parameters viz fruit width, fruit length, peduncle length, number of primary branches, inter nodal length, plant height, seed index, 1000 seed weight, fresh and dry fruit weight, pericarp thickness, leaf area and seeds per fruit. Based on this characterization the plants were grouped into 5 clusters and diversity among accessions was indicated by the wide range of D2 values whereas phenotypic correlation for all the characters was found significant. Five components were selected as principle components with Eigen values > 1. These components exhibited 77.2% of the variation. The first principal component (PC I) explained 27.2% of total variation in original data, second component (PC II) explained 18.9%, and third principal component (PC III) explained 12.5% of variation. The other principal components (PC IV and PC V explained an additional 18.6% of the variation (a total 77.2% of explained variation. Accessions with distinct identity were marked, which are likely to be quite suitable for breeding through hybridization by combining desirable traits. High estimates of broad sense heritability (90%) for all the characters except peduncle length predicted that selection could be awarding in late segregating generations and above accessions could be utilized in hybridization programme for C. annuum crop improvement.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
Western Australian shark cull - A South Australian perspective

2. Western Australia, 2014
● Drum lines set at multiple sites in January
● Results: 172 caught, 68 killed (mostly Tiger)
● Number of attacks averted?
● Drum lines withdrawn in April (as planned)
● 3-year drum line plan withdrawn in October
● Emergency response policy established
4. Who loses in a 'cull'?
● Protected shark species (Great white)
● Sharks of conservation concern (Great white,
grey nurse and hammerheads)
● Protected dolphins, whales, turtles and dugong
● Prey populations*
● Shark viewing tourism operators
...and the taxpaying public?
5. Who benefits from a 'cull'
psychologically?
● Doubters of personal shark protection strategies
● Some grieving friends/relatives of victims
● People whose fear of sharks is irrational
“It was an emotional sense of relief when I heard that two (Great white sharks) had
been caught. Yes, they are protected, but to a certain degree we need to be
protected too. I think all of those people that are saying we should not kill the sharks
should come and experience what we experienced.”
- Ross Tamlin, Esperance surfer who helped Sean Pollard following his attack.
PerthNow, October 5th 2014.
9. Who benefits from a 'cull'
financially?
● Contractors who service nets and drum lines
● Fisheries who interact with sharks
● Regional businesses which could gain from
increased surfing and spear-fishing activity
● Sea cage aquaculture operators (tuna and
kingfish)
10. Tuna & Kingfish Farming
● “White sharks are sometimes captured in tuna tow
and farm cages. Unsubstantiated reports suggest
that there may be as many as 10-20 interactions per
year; however, records are sparse and often
unobtainable.”
- FRDC workshop paper, 2002
● 'Tuna Baron' Hagen Stehr has described "shark
attacks and tuna disappearing" and has said that his
company "fought against White pointers."
- The Australian, Feb. 2010
● Image: Tuna pen and dead Great white shark, Port
Lincoln - ATRT Tuna Ranching Intelligence Unit, Nov.

11. What are the alternatives?
● Increased public education efforts
● Beach patrols
● Shark tracking studies & alert systems
● Shark behavioural studies
● Creation of 'ocean pools' or netted swimming
enclosures
● Personal shark protection equipment/wetsuits
15. “The Shark Cull”
A South Australian perspective
● Stay safe,
● Respect the ocean
● and enjoy the film!
