FACTORS AFFECTING WELFARE GAINS FROM FISHING GEAR RESTRICTIONS [PDF]
While the use of gear restrictions to regulate fishing activity seldom has the objective of improving economic efficiency, it is capable of achieving that result under some conditions. It can also reduce economic efficiency.

Technical terms in fishing gear materials and gear fabrication
, 1964 Papers dealing with technical terms in fisheries science are few. This paper however, covers only one or two aspects of the subject, namely fishing gear materials and fishing gear fabrication. Similar papers on other aspects are also planned. Short explanations or descriptions are also given wherever considered necessary.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This work aimed to apply the principles of skin mark analysis to a cetacean species to build a sex‐discrimination model exclusively based on photographic material. Relevant differences between sexes emerged in markings, with males presenting more social, aggression‐related, and fishing‐related marks overall, and a stronger tendency of mark accumulation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Species occurrence is often influenced by changes in environmental conditions at multiple spatial and temporal scales working simultaneously in a hierarchical fashion. While previous dynamic multi‐scale occupancy modelling frameworks address dynamics at multiple spatial scales, they assume both large‐scale and small‐scale units are closed ...

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War
Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Ancient Nets and Fishing Gears
, 2010 The archaeological visibiliry of ancient fishing, rypically carried out by the less privileged social groups in the Graeco-Roman world, is very limited. Research on ancient fishing relies on ayery limited number of pictorial representations - mostly in mosaics, particularly abundant in Africa Proconsuhris, and coins - a few literary texts and a ...

We Woke Up With a Sign: Exclusion, Conflict and the Politics of Marine Conservation in South Africa
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract Conservation often continues to be undertaken in ways that exclude nearby communities, despite extensive critique of such practices. This paper examines the reactions to the creation of a marine protected area in KwaZulu‐Natal. We find that the community supports conservation, but expresses frustration at not being included in decisions ...

Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.
