EUROFLEETS_cruise report_SciberrasM
This cruise summary report describes a research cruise conducted from May 17-24, 2015 that aimed to study the chronic effects of bottom trawling on benthic communities and fish in the Celtic Sea. A team of scientists from Spain and the UK sampled 12 stations in a Nephrops fishing ground using grabs to collect infauna, imaging to assess bioturbation, and trawls to collect fish and invertebrates. Bad weather limited sampling to 5 days, but replicate samples were collected at each station. Infauna and fish length and weight data were recorded to analyze impacts on community composition and trophic structure across a trawling gradient. Tissue samples were also taken for stable isotope analysis to further assess
Atlantic Salmon
The document discusses a study conducted at the Fleming College Frost Campus Fish Hatchery that assessed the growth of Atlantic salmon in different stock tanks. The study measured the length and weight of 14 salmon from each of 4 tanks. It found many variables that could impact the results, such as the person conducting the measurements, equipment differences, and factors like feeding schedule and water temperature. The largest and most reliable sample size is needed to draw conclusions about Atlantic salmon growth and survival rates at the hatchery due to all the fluctuating variables involved.
Pacific Resources on Digital Coast
The document discusses the Pacific Resources on Digital Coast. It provides contact information for Kalisi Mausio and Gretchen Chiques of the NOAA Pacific Services Center. It also describes the Hawaii Ocean Uses Atlas, a project to collect ocean uses data in Hawaii waters to inform coastal planning and offshore renewable energy development. The atlas documents human uses of the ocean, including renewable energy, fishing, military, and cultural uses, to understand use patterns and potential conflicts.
Starr et al 2016
This research article describes efforts to balance fisheries management goals of conserving overfished species while allowing fishing of abundant stocks. Large-scale fishery closures implemented in the late 1990s successfully reduced overfishing on the U.S. West Coast, but also constrained fishing and reduced data collection. The study developed and tested video survey and experimental fishing techniques to determine if abundant groundfish species could be caught in rocky habitats with minimal bycatch of rebuilding species still under restrictions. Comparing video surveys to fishing catches indicated modified fishing gear could target abundant stocks while limiting impacts on protected species, improving data collection as populations recover.

Tamsyn Noble - Devon & Severn IFCA
The Work of the Devon and Severn Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority in the Severn
Tamsyn Noble is the recently appointed Senior Environment Officer for Devon and Severn Inshore Fisheries Authority (IFCA). Based in Bristol, Tamsyn is primarily responsible for the delivery of IFCA research objectives within the Severn area, having established survey programmes to assess the availability and use of sea fisheries resources, and habitats of conservation significance. Tamsyn graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology in 2005, before undertaking voluntary work in a variety of marine ecosystems, both in the UK and abroad. Following graduation from MSc Applied Ecology and Conservation in 2009, Tamsyn was recruited to the role of Marine Environmental Scientist in the offshore energy sector. During this period she worked both onshore and offshore to deliver environmental baseline and monitoring projects, and specialised in the assessment of Annex I habitats.
Devon and Severn Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (D&S IFCA) was fully vested in 2011 under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009, to provide inshore fisheries and conservation management, with an increased focus on habitats and ecosystems. The district boundary of the IFCA, which previously encompassed only the Devon coastline to six nautical miles, was substantially increased to include the Severn Estuary and Inner Bristol Channel. Following establishment of a presence in the Severn area of the district, a programme of research activities has commenced, aiming to determine the extent of commercial and recreational use of its marine resources and habitats. This presentation will focus on the role of the IFCA within the Severn area, introducing key current and future research areas, and presenting preliminary data on recreational activities.
Optimal Dietary Lipid, Energy Content For Fat Snook
Work at the Instituto de Ciências do Mar is evaluating the optimum growth response of fat snook to the lipid and energy content in diets. In a study using five diets with varied fish oil contents, there was no statistical difference in fish performance among feeding treatments, although visceral fat indexes increased with higher dietary lipid content. The optimum dietary lipid level for fat snook was estimated at 122 g/kg. Their gross energy requirement was 4,216 kcal/kg.

The document summarizes a presentation on restoring tidal habitat at Possession Sound. It finds that:
1) Two restoration scenarios were considered - scenario 1 was likely too small to be sustainable, while scenario 2 could be sustainable but may require clearing coarse sediments from the inlet channel.
2) Predictions of fish use based on studies of other pocket estuaries in the region found juvenile salmon and sculpins would likely use the restored habitat.
3) Moving the inlet channel downstream of the boat ramp and accounting for increased flow from freshwater inputs could help clear sediments and make scenario 2 more sustainable.

Swimming performance of the small characin bryconamericus stramineus
This study examined the swimming performance of Bryconamericus stramineus, a small characin fish species found in the Paraná River basin in Brazil. The researchers used fixed and increasing water velocity tests to determine the fish's prolonged and sustained swimming speeds. They found that B. stramineus is able to swim faster than other similarly sized Neotropical fish species. The results provide guidance for designing structures like fish ladders and screens to facilitate or prevent upstream fish passage.

The document summarizes the stock assessment of Nephrops (Dublin Bay prawn) in the Irish Sea. It discusses the biology and life cycle of Nephrops, the fishery, and stock assessment methods. Since 2005, stock assessments have been based on underwater video surveys which count burrow clusters. The 2010 assessment advised landings at Fmax, a proxy for maximum sustainable yield, similar to 2009 tonnage levels. Management should be at a functional unit level as components have different exploitation levels.New Jersey's voluntary collection program for bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix)
Presented by Steven Luell at the 2011 Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the American Fisheries Society Annual Meeting held at the Lighthouse Center for Natural Resource Education in Waretown, NJ.
Abstract
The bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) is an important marine fish species on the East Coast of the United States. They are popular amongst fishers, and are targeted both recreationally and commercially. Since 2005, the assessment of bluefish has been conducted via age structured assessment methods (ASAP). Concerns have been expressed about the adequacy of age information to assess this species. In an effort to help resolve these problems, the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife initiated a pilot voluntary biological collection program in 2010. A number of sampling strategies was used to sample the recreational fishery, including: collections from volunteer anglers, fishing tournaments, party boats, and opportunistic collections associated with fishery-independent sampling programs for non-bluefish species. In 2010, otoliths were extracted from 219 bluefish harvested from a variety of locations in NJ between April and November. Thus far in 2011, otoliths were extracted from 214 bluefish. Comparison of the 2010 size frequency of bluefish from New Jersey with the coastal 2010 ALK shows that while there was some overlap, samples were often complementary but ALK gaps remain even when all data are combined.
US Fleet Forces Environmental Readiness
The document discusses the United States Fleet Forces' environmental readiness programs, which include monitoring marine species and their responses to Navy training activities, conducting research on topics like marine mammal tagging, and ensuring compliance with environmental laws for actions like home basing and expanding aircraft operations. Key programs mentioned are the Integrated Comprehensive Monitoring Program, the Behavioral Response Study on beaked whales and pilot whales, and pinniped tagging in the Chesapeake Bay area.
NAVFAC Far East
This document summarizes natural resource management programs across 10 installations in the NAVFAC Far East command. It notes that 5 Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMPs) in the Command Navy Region Japan (CNRJ) cover a total of 11,282 acres of managed land, including over 6,000 acres of natural areas. Natural resource managers in the region work on programs and projects like invasive species control, bird aircraft strike hazard prevention, and public education. Recent efforts have focused on removing trash from beaches and controlling invasive species like raccoons and mongooses at the request of host nations. Converting funds to support in-house natural resource projects in Diego Garcia has also helped program success.

The document introduces several natural resources experts within NAVFAC Atlantic including their areas of expertise. It then describes the various natural resources support services provided including environmental compliance, surveys, training and more. Finally it outlines some specific projects supported and cooperative agreements maintained to aid natural resources programs across installations.
Factoring People into Ecosystems
The document summarizes a project that developed tools to assess the socioeconomic impacts of management measures on coastal communities for the West Coast groundfish fishery. It created a geographic information system called the Groundfish Fishery Relational database to integrate ecological, fishery, and socioeconomic data in a spatially explicit framework. Preliminary results analyzed how a 2002 shelf closure would have affected landings, revenues, and incomes if vessels could not have fished in the closed areas. The tools are intended to help managers and communities evaluate options to reduce fishing capacity and mitigate impacts.
Kraal fishery bolgoda lake
This document discusses the kraal fishery of Bolgoda Lake in Sri Lanka and strategies for its co-management. It first provides background on traditional and government-led fisheries management approaches and their limitations. It then describes the study site of Bolgoda Lake and the existing kraal fishery system. The study analyzed catch data from 10 kraals to determine how yield varies with factors like salinity, lunar cycle, depth and distance from sea. It found the yield is significantly affected by salinity and lunar cycle. Interviews assessed the current top-down management system's weaknesses. The document recommends a co-management strategy involving local fishers, authorities and other stakeholders to sustainably manage this important fishery

Fish Conservation Zones (FCZs), or areas that limit or prohibit fishing, have gained widespread popularity as fisheries management and conservation tools in marine and freshwater ecosystems around the world. By protecting critical habitats and allowing fish populations to increase in abundance, FCZs can serve dual purposes of protecting fish biodiversity and enhancing food security and livelihoods for local communities. Rapid development in the Mekong Basin has the potential to impact fish habitat and abundance, and effective fish conservation and management tools are urgently needed. Many organizations have engaged in establishing FCZs in the Mekong Basin, and FCZs number in the hundreds in Lao PDR alone. FISHBIO is working to establish FCZs in several villages on the mainstem Mekong River in northern Lao PDR, and has seen substantial local support for the concept. While FCZs are compelling in principle, the most important consideration is whether they are successful in practice. Biophysical, socio-economic and governance monitoring is greatly needed to address whether FCZs are effective tools for meeting their intended objectives. Both technological and community-based approaches can play an important role in the biological evaluation of FCZ effectiveness, and collecting such data could improve the management of FCZs throughout the region.

CDFG_TSC_Report_2011
The document provides an overview of the California Department of Fish and Game's Marine Region, which is responsible for protecting and managing California's marine resources. It describes the Marine Region's research and monitoring programs for commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries, including statistical data collection, at-sea and dockside sampling, and inseason catch monitoring. Commercial fisheries are monitored through landings data and market sampling, while recreational catch is estimated using field sampling and telephone surveys. Inseason monitoring is used to track catches and implement management actions such as early fishery closures if catch limits are exceeded.
CaBA Startup Conference 02 - A response to the challenge from the third sector
Sets the context for the Catchment based Approach, describing the decline in ecosystem functionality and the challenge that still faces the UK in achieving improvements under the Water Framework Directive. Outlines the roles of the new CaBA Partnerships, the National Steering group, and the EA in helping to shape the next round of River Basin Managment Plans, and also in achieving improvements that go beyond WFD.
WGC 2016 poster on RCA EFP fishing surveys
This study aimed to develop methods for commercial fishermen to target healthy rockfish stocks while minimizing catches of rebuilding species. Researchers used existing data and local knowledge to identify areas and tested fishing gear that achieved catch ratios of over 10 pounds of target species for every 1 pound of rebuilding species. Visual surveys confirmed the presence of rebuilding species where none were caught, indicating the gear was selectively catching target species. The methods showed potential for fishermen to profitably target rebuilt populations while protecting depleted species.

New Case - Lisa Mead - Depletion of marine life
This document discusses the depletion of marine life due to a lack of integrated ocean governance and overfishing. It presents a new case proposing that extensive overfishing and inadequate marine conservation efforts are violating the rights of the ocean. Specifically, it notes that the majority of fish stocks managed by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations are overfished. Additionally, the EU regularly sets total allowable catches higher than recommended scientific limits, threatening fish populations. The document argues this violates the ocean's right to life and natural processes as laid out in the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth.
New Cases - Depletion of marine life - Lisa Mead
This document discusses the depletion of marine life due to a lack of integrated ocean governance and overfishing. It presents a new case proposing that these issues violate the rights of the ocean as outlined in the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. Specifically, it notes that regional fisheries organizations set catch limits higher than scientific advice for many fish stocks, threatening their ability to survive. It also discusses inadequate conservation efforts and the impacts of pollution, deep sea mining, and other threats. The document argues for improved ocean governance and adherence to catch limits that allow fish populations to maintain their vital cycles.
FA2014_BIO3800_Monitoring Fish Poster
The document summarizes a study monitoring fish diversity in Massies Creek, Ohio over multiple years. Sites along the creek that were previously studied in 1960 were resampled. Minnow traps were used to sample fish at restored and unrestored sites. Diversity increased more at restored sites initially, though both saw increases over time. Compared to 1960, fewer fish species were found, likely due to differences in sampling effort. Future research is needed to better understand factors influencing long-term fish diversity changes in the watershed.

This document summarizes a presentation on unpacking systemic gender inequality across institutional landscapes in watershed research. The presentation discusses how gender norms and values of institutional stakeholders remain a "black box" in gender research. It notes that while gender is a cross-cutting theme in CGIAR research, organizations and institutional actors who shape policies are less researched. The presentation describes a study that used interviews to understand the perspectives of watershed scientists and development practitioners regarding gender competencies and inclusion in watershed programs and research. It found evidence of "hydropatriarchies" in watershed institutions and a need to better represent local knowledge and marginalized voices.Gender and social inclusivity in restoration projects – how does policy inten...

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Regulatory System of Fishes Conservation for Hydro Development § Federal Law: Endangered Species Act, ESA § Regulatory Department: • United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS): Terrestrial and fresh species • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries (NOAA): Ocean and migratory species § 13 fish species listed in the ESA § FCRPS Biological Opinions: proposed by NOAA Fishes and implemented by FCRPS § FCRPS BiOp: 2008, 2010, 2014
- 3. Requirements and Implementation § Reasonable and Prudent Alternatives (RPAs) 6 Categories-‐Strategy-‐73 Actions • Adaptive Management Actions • Hydro Actions • Habitat Actions • Hatchery Actions • Predation Management Actions • Research, Mentoring, and Evaluation Actions
- 4. A spillway weir provides surface passage for fish at McNary Dam Facility improvement
- 5. Fish-‐friendly turbines at Bonneville Dam Facility improvement
- 6. Fish passage facilities: 16 fishways at 8 dams Fish passages 4 fishways at Bonneville Dam(1930)
- 7. Fish passages Survival standards of fish passage: • Adult fish: 90-‐94% between Bonneville and Lower Granite • Rainbow trout: 90-‐94% at each dam • Juvenile fish: 96% in spring and 93% in summer at each dam
- 10. Cost: At just the Federal Columbia/Snake River hydropower projects：~ 700 million US$ are spent annually on fish and wildlife mitigation measures.
