Scientific parameterization and its validation: comparing the universal models of fisheries economics with the invalid modeling of stock assessment
(2008-09-22)
Here I compare the valid parameterization of fisheries economics with the data-fitted parameters of a stock
assessment’s modeling, invalid models whose predictions cannot be falsified (which is another way of saying ...
Biological husbandry and the "nitrogen problem"
(Biological Agriculture and Horticulture, 1986)
Since 1978, the author has been conducting research into the theory and practice of biological husbandry in collaboration with a farmer who stopped using pesticides and mineral fertilizers in 1976. Eggs are exported from ...
Observations on a mixed farm during the transition to biological husbandry
(2011-01-19)
Tunwath is a mixed farm (laying hens-grains) located in the Annapolis Valley, Nova Scotia, in a cool humid temperate zone. It includes about 2100 laying hens, 35 hectares of field crops and additional garden, pasture, hay ...
Fisheries Stock Assessment: an inductive science with the Logical form of Primitive Magic
(2010-01-20)
Abstract. A logical analysis of the common fisheries models used in stock assessment has shown that they produce specific
predictions with the logical form of existential statements, fail Karl Popper’s falsifiability ...
Distinguishing input controls from ouput controls in Atlantic Canada's fisheries: explaining the decline and collapse of Newfoundland's Atlantic cod stocks
(2013-03-14)
The lobster and groundfish fisheries of Atlantic Canada have been managed in very different ways. The Atlantic lobster fishery has been managed by input controls in which regulations have been developed by a posteriori ...

Background: Mice with a function-blocking mutation in the Scn8a gene that encodes
Na(v)1.6, a voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) isoform normally found in several types
of retinal neurons, have previously been found to ...
Microsatellite and allozyme analyses reveal few genetic differences among spatially distinct aggregations of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta, Conrad 1849)
(2004-12)
The genetic population structure of geoduck clams (Panopea abrupta) in inland waters of
Washington may affect fishery management and aquacultural practices involving this species. To
investigate genetic differentiation ...
