INTRODUCTION 9 A fishing vessel is a very complex production unit. Recognising that fishing vessels are the most complex units, Domagala and Rebizak (1965) list four production processes, which take place on a modern independant fishing vessel. They are: fishing (catching of fish), processing, storage (preservation) and transport (distribution). These processes are interdependent - but above all they depend on the fish catch. Consequently, the above authors call it the basic process, and the otherçare called auxilliary processes. The production capability, as far as processing, storage and transport are concerned are relatively easy to define and were subject of numerous researches and studies. Definition of fishing efficiency is more difficult, and the expression "fishing efficiency" is interpreted in many ways in the Polish technical literature. This is due to a number of circumstances. Each researcher can define the same phenomenon in a different way; and in addition fishing operations of vessels • - are interesting both from economical and technical aspects as well as from the biological aspect. For that reason, these Air 6 . activities are of interest to representatives of at least these three disciplines, who consider the fishing vessel from different points of view and who describe the saine naines, or who use the phenomenon often using differentsame names to describe different phenomena. The author is interested in the operation of the fishing vessel from the biological point of view, regarding it mainly as man's instrument which can affect the fish resources. It would be better if the Polish terminology, in the field of fisheries, were more standardized and more generally applied. Currently such integration is limited, both among different disciplines as well as in scientific circles working on related topics. A wider discussion of terms: "fishing capability" 11 catching power" ?fishing power" (and productivity) of fishing vessel, found in the Polish literature, exceeds the limits of the present work. Thus, I shall mention here the opinion of Niegolewski (1970) who maintains that, for estimation of economic results, for example, it is not necessary to differentiate between the concepts of potential and of actual capability of a production 7. enterprise. I consider that the above approach can be extended to the researchas such as those presented here, whose purpose is to analyze the fishing power of vessels, and which ultimately show the influence of man on the state of the resources. On the assumption that standardization of terminology 10 will form the subject of a separate, comprehensive and collective wark, I shall limit myself only to the introduction of those concepts that I shall use myself. am making the assumption that in the fishing operation the fishing vessel and its equipment or fishing gear form a fishing ensemble. The vessel by itself in a "strict sense" cannot carry on fishing operations; the same is true for most of the fishing gear (excepeEeveral types of gear used on the shore, completely omitted here). In certain cases, e.g. trawling, this relationship is quite clear, in others less so, but it exists always. Therefore, when speaking of a fishing vessel in the context of fishing operations, I shall always treat it in a wide sense, that is as a vessel operating with the aid of specific fishing gear. 1) With such an approach, I assume that fishing power of 1) The term nmoc lawcza" is an attempt to translate the term "fishing power", used in literature in the English language (Dunin-Kwinta 1964). However, the theoretical "fishing power" is close to the definition of "absolute fishing capability" of fishing gear used e.g.

  • Australia Catch Reconstruction
    A scientific summary from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Sea Around Us Project Shutterstock Australia Catch Reconstruction Overview Australia has generally robust fisheries management, but it does not account for all the fish and shellfish taken from its waters. A process known as “catch reconstruction” helps to fill these gaps by collecting information on catch from a variety of sources, including academic PACIFIC OCEAN literature, industrial fishing statistics, local expert interviews, and other accounts and records. This fact sheet presents estimates (Kleisner et al., 2015) of total catches from 1950 to 2010, including recreational and INDIAN traditional (i.e., fishing by local indigenous communities) catch, which OCEAN has been neglected in official accounting. Total catches appear relatively sustainable given the size of Australia’s ocean area, and discards have declined. Shutterstock Tuna at the port in Cairns, Australia. Most countries focus their data collection on industrial fishing, in part because small-scale operations can be difficult to track. Australian Catch Have Been Underreported for More Than 60 Years Reported versus reconstructed catch, 1950–2010 500,000 400,000 300,000 Total reconstructed catch: 14,900,000 t 200,000 8,600,000 t 100,000 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Tonnes, 1950–2010 5.5 million t 4.0 million t 3.1 million t Industrial Discards Artisanal Recreational Traditional 2.2 million t 98,000 t Source: The Sea Around Us project © 2015 The Pew Charitable Trusts Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Thousands of Tonnes, 1950–2010 Type of fishing Catch Data sources Researchers extracted industrial catch from official data on commercial fishing based on gear types commonly used in large-scale fisheries (e.g., trawling, Industrial 5,500 dredging, and large-scale trap and long line).

  • Marine Small-Scale Fisheries of Bangladesh: a General Description
    BAY OF BENGAL PROGRAMME BOBP/INF/8 Development of Small-Scale Fisheries (GCP/RAS/040/SWE) MARINE SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES OF BANGLADESH : A GENERAL DESCRIPTION Executing Agency : Funding Agency : Food and Agriculture Organization Swedish International of the United Nations Development Authority Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Bay of Bengal Madras, India, September 1985 This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline infor- mation on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of Bangladesh. It could serve as an introduction to the subject, leading to’ deeper studies of particular aspects; as a source of general information; or as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. The paper has been prepared by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (B 0 B P) which began in 1979 from Madras. It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal - Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. It is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and exe- cuted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations(FAO). It is a multi-disciplinary project, active in the areas of craft, gear, extension, information and development support. The project’s main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and increase the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in member countries. The paper has been prepared in cooperation with the Directorate of Fisheries, Bangla- desh, with the assistance of a consultant, Dr.

These collisions occurred mostly at night or in fog conditions where visibility was restricted and additional lookouts were not engaged. Discussion The Chinese port Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan is located in Ningbo and Zhoushan on the coast of the East China Sea, in Zhejiang province and is ranked the busiest cargo port in the world. Large fleets of fishing junks may be encountered on the coast of China. The junks may not be carrying lights. They are solidly built and serious damage could be incurred by colliding with them. Fishing vessels vary from traditional rowing or sailing craft as little as 3m long to modern trawlers 15m long and over. We recently met with China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA) to review the collision cases and explore possible measures to help prevent similar casualties and loss of life. Attached is an Advisory prepared by Ningbo MSA that provides guidance for Master’s on navigating through the East China Sea and areas where there may be high concentrations of fishing vessels.

  • Precipitation Extremes During Flooding in the Odra River Basin in May
    Vol. 2 Issue 1 June 2014 Precipitation extremes during flooding in the Odra River Basin in May-June 2010 Wiwiana Szalińska, Irena Otop, Tamara Tokarczyk Institute of Meteorology and Water Management, National Research Institute, Wrocław Branch, Parkowa Street 30, 51-616 Wrocław, Poland, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Flooding in East-Central Europe in May and June 2010 also affected the Odra River Basin. Unlike a typical summer flood scenario, in 2010 intensive precipitation was observed as early as May. Also, the location of the most intensive rainfall shifted to the catchments of the right bank tributaries of the Odra River. This paper presents the climatological assessment of the precipitation totals that caused two flood waves on the Odra River. The assessment was carried out with the use of selected indicators: monthly precipitation totals, daily precipitation totals, number of days exceeding given precipitation levels, number of days with precipitation of a given probability of exceedance and intensity, duration and accumulation of precipitation for a number of consecutive wet days. The reference values for climatological indicators were developed for the period 1966-2009. The values of the selected indicators were analyzed in terms of flood hazard in relation to the hazard gradation. The results show that the observed precipitation had the character of an extreme event with respect to its magnitude, duration and spatial extent. The catchments with recognized high levels of flood hazard were affected by the flood wave. The flood situation caused by the extreme precipitation was evaluated in the context of the largest floods in this region during recent decades.
