An approach by which the many competing environmental and socioeconomic issues are considered together, with the aim of achieving the optimal solution from the viewpoint of the whole community and the whole ecosystem.
Industry:Fishing
1. The catch which a particular gear or vessel takes from a given density of fish during a certain time interval. For example, larger vessels (horsepower) have a greater ability to catch more fish, thus the greater their fishing power. Also, improvements in a vessel or gear, such as fish finders, global positioning systems, etc. , can increase fishing power; 2. Of a boat, or of a fishing gear: The relative vulnerability of the stock to different boats or gears. Usually determined as the catch taken by the given apparatus, divided by the catch of a standard apparatus fishing at nearly the same time and place.
Industry:Fishing
1. Ability to persist in the long-term. Often used as "short hand" for sustainable development; 2. Characteristic of resources that are managed so that the natural capital stock is non-declining through time, while production opportunities are maintained for the future.
Industry:Fishing
Data collected directly on a fish or fishery from commercial or sport fishermen and seafood dealers. Common methods include logbooks, trip tickets, port sampling, fishery observers, and phone surveys.
Industry:Fishing
1. A legal right or interest in respect to a specific property. A type of resource ownership by an individual (individual right) or a group (communal right); 2. A claim to the benefit stream that some higher authority, usually government, will agree to protect through the assignment of duty to others who may covet, or somehow interfere with, the benefit stream.
Industry:Fishing
A large ridge or mound-like structure within a body of water that is build by calcareous organisms such as coral, red algae, and bivalves.
Industry:Fishing
Another of the status determination criteria (SDC). The greater of (a) 1/2 BMSY, or (b) the minimum stock size at which rebuilding to BMSY will occur within 10 years while fishing at the maximum fishing mortality threshold (MFMT). MSST should be measured in terms of spawning biomass or other appropriate measures of productive capacity. If current stock size is below Bthreshold, the stock is overfished.
Industry:Fishing
A method of fishing using lures on a vertical line that snag fish when they pass near. The line is moved up and down (jigged) by hand or mechanically. Extremely efficient for fishing oceanic squids at night.
Industry:Fishing
Dead organic matter and the decomposers that live on it; when broken up by decomposers, detritus provides energy to many coastal ecosystems.
Industry:Fishing
Above the level of high tide; a terrestrial environment that is influenced by proximity to the sea, including influency by sea spray, sea breezes, and aeolian processes, and geological and biological "spillover" such as dune development.
