Can we stop the lobster going the way of the cod?
(labeled ‘A brief submitted in 2006 to the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC)’, 2006)
This report is a response to the Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (FRCC)’s request for opinion on how to reduce risk and address problems in Atlantic Canada’s lobster fishery. See www.frcc-ccrh.ca for further details ...
Linking movement, diving, and habitat to foraging success in a large marine predator
(2006-12)
Establishing where and when predators forage is essential to understanding trophic interactions,
yet foraging behavior remains poorly understood in large marine carnivores. We investigated the
factors leading to foraging ...
Prevalence and evolution of core photosystem II genes in marine cyanobacterial viruses and their hosts
(2006-08)
Cyanophages ( cyanobacterial viruses) are important agents of horizontal gene transfer among
marine cyanobacteria, the numerically dominant photosynthetic organisms in the oceans. Some
cyanophage genomes carry and express ...
Effects of eutrophication, grazing, and algal blooms on rocky shores
(2006-01)
Eutrophication can profoundly change rocky shore communities. These changes often cause the replacement of perennial, canopy-forming algae such as Fucus spp. with annual, bloom-forming algae such as Enteromorpha spp. ...
Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada)
(2006)
Two concurrent 2 yr experiments were conducted along the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia (1) to
examine competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides
and canopy-forming native ...
Metabolism of dietary cetoleic acid (22 : 1n-11) in mink (Mustela vison) and gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) studied using radiolabeled fatty acids
(2006-07)
Cetoleic acid (22:1n-11) is a good indicator of diet in marine predators and has proven to be an
important fatty acid (FA) when using adipose tissue FA composition to study diet in marine mammals
and seabirds. Feeding ...
Why an ecosystem approach is the wrong paradigm for the next stage of fisheries management
(2006-09-13)
Scientists from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO)
manage groundfish stocks by collecting biomass measurements that
are used to provide scientific advice on catch limits. Clearly, if the
data is uncertain or ...
Karl Popper’s organon and the world’s fisheries: fish stock assessment as a pseudoscience, an inductivism that can bear no fruit
(2006)
Recent long term historical studies of commercial fisheries have pointed to a well established pattern of overfishing. Under the principle of transference – what is true in logic is true in psychology and scientific method ...
