A model of rational equilibrium in quota‐regulated multiple‐species fisheries
Natural Resource Modeling, 2023 This paper derives rational ecological–economic equilibrium outcomes—capital and variable input allocations, harvests, discards, revenue, costs, and stock abundances—in a spatially heterogeneous, multispecies fishery that is regulated with individual ...

DISCARDED NYLON FISHING NETS AS FIBRE REINFORCEMENT IN CEMENT MORTAR [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2018 This work builds on an idea of utilizing fibres cut from waste fishing nets for fibre reinforcement of concrete. An experimental investigation of waste fishing net polyfilament fibres of nylon 6 is reported. Differential Scanning Calorimetry confirmed the net to be nylon 6.

Impacts of fisheries on seabird communities
Scientia Marina, 2003 Long-line by-catch of albatrosses and petrels may soon lead to species extinctions. Set-net bycatch has caused major reductions in certain seabird populations. Some fisheries may decrease numbers of seabirds by reducing abundance of prey-fish.

Gill net and long-line catch comparisons in a hake fishery: the case of southern Portugal
Scientia Marina, 2002 During 1998, a study of the European hake (Merluccius merluccius) static gear fishery was undertaken in southern Portugal. This study aimed to compare long-line and gill net catches within the same area in terms of catch composition, fishing yield, by ...

Valorization of Seafood Processing Discards: Bioconversion and Bio-Refinery Approaches
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 The seafood industry generates large volumes of waste. These include processing discards consisting of shell, head, bones intestine, fin, skin, voluminous amounts of wastewater discharged as effluents, and low-value under-utilized fish, which are caught ...
