AREA INTRODUCTION A general inventory of the natural resources of the Americas is being made to further economic and social cooperation eunong the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Increasing interest in the utilization of the aquatic resources of the New World is manifested by many of our neighbors to the south. This interest has led, in many instances, to requests from these coxintries for technical assistance and advice in surveying and evaliiating tbeir fish resources, with the view toward expanding fishery industries on sound lines. In attempting to assist in this work, the Fish and Wildlife Service found that little factual information regarding the fisheries and fishery resources of Latin America was available, With the coming of War, the acquisition of such data became more urgent, for it was soon evident tliat local production of foodstuffs was of great necessity—particularly in the Caribbean area. Thus, it was considered essential that a rapid, fact-finding survey of the Caribbean fisheries and fishery resources should be made to determine where possibilities for increased production of fishery products existed. Funds for this purpose were transferred to the Fish and Wildlife Service of tl-ie United States Department of the Interior by the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs in the early part of 19^+2. The Caribbean Governments were approached by the United States Department of State prior to the survey, and each expressed interest and offered cooperation in assisting the Uission to the fullest extent. The Mission was headed by Reginald H. Fiedler, Chief of the Division of Fishery Indust- ries of the Fish and Wildlife Service. He was assisted by Milton J. Lobell, Fishery Engineer, and Clarence R. Lucas, Fishery Economist. The field survey was comnenced on April 24, 1942 at St. Johns, Antigua, in the British West Indies and was terminated in Puerto Rico on October 28, 1942—a total peiuod of about seven months. By feir, the greatest distance, about 25,000 miles, was covered by air travel. The remainder, about 5,000 miles, was accomplished in schooners, sloops, trains, gas-cars, automobiles, dugout canoes, oxcarts, aujd on horseback. Every capital city was visited, and field surveys of the actual fishing areas were made in practically every country. Hundreds of government officials, storekeepers, fishermen, and other interested persons were inters viewed. Files of the various Governments relating to fisheries and economic conditions were made available. Original 1 y, plans were made to survey only the Latin-American Republics in the Caribbeai area. However, because of emergency war conditions and at the request of the Anglo-American Caribbean Coi;imission, the British Colonies in the Caribbean were included. No survey work was conducted by the Mission in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands since the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Insular Government of Puerto Rico maintain a research staff at Mayaguez, P. R. which is engaged in carrying on a long-range fisheries program. Information an the fisheries and fishery resources of these areas are contained in reports of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries as indicated in the bibliography

  • Static Fishing Around Fish Aggregating Devices (Fads) and Offshore Banks
    SPC Fisheries Newsletter # 42 Page 27 STATIC FISHING AROUND FISH AGGREGATING DEVICES (FADS) AMD OFFSHORE BANKS IN AMERICAN SAMOA by Michael Crook Leilani Enterprises, Inc Pago Pago, American Samoa This work was carried out as part of Pacific Fisheries Development Foundation Project No 44a. Experimental static handline fishing around FADs was first attempted in American Samoa in 1978-9 by Pat Brian who was associated with the first generation of FADs to be deployed here. No formal reports or records were made describing the gear, techniques or catch, but word-of-mouth reports indicate that this work was mildly successful. The most recent generation of FADs was deployed in late 1984 following a period of over a year where there were no buoys at all. During this period trolling had become nearly unprofitable due to rising fuel costs and the increasing scarcity of fish, often attributed to the influx of tuna superseiners to this area. Now the buoys have brought the fish but trolling can stiil be uneconomical when the fish are either not feeding on the surface or not biting on artificial lures, which is often the case in very calm weather or during mid-day hours. The purpose of this programme was to investigate the feasibility of static fishing for the pelagic species usually caught by trolling around FADs and offshore banks e.g. yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus), skipjack {Katsuwonus pelamis), wahoo (Acanthocybium solandn) and dolphin fish (Coryphaena hippurus).

  • Fishing Techniques Used Around Fish Aggregation Devices in French Polynesia
    SPC/Fisheries 22/WP.14 27 July 1990 ORIGINAL : FRENCH SOUTH PACIFIC COMMISSION TWENTY-SECOND REGIONAL TECHNICAL MEETING ON FISHERIES (Noumea, New Caledonia 6-10 August, 1990) FISHING TECHNIQUES USED AROUND FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES IN FRENCH POLYNESIA by F. Leproux, G. Moarii, S. Yen EVAAM, B.P. 20, Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia 643/90 SPC/Fisheries 22/WP.14 Page 1 FISHING TECHNIQUES USED AROUND FISH AGGREGATION DEVICES IN FRENCH POLYNESIA Mooring FADs in French Polynesian waters, which began in June 1981, has had a favourable impact on local fishermen who, although they were sceptical to begin with, have come to use this assistance increasingly, many of them finding it very helpful. The techniques of fishing around FADs have changed over the years and in 1990 four are still currently in use, while new techniques are constantly being developed and taught in order to obtain better yields. 1. FISHING TECHNIQUES 1.1 Handline fishing Many small boats (3 to 6m) do deep fishing near FADs when a school of tuna is present. The handline is made of nylon line of 130 kg and a tuna hook (cf Diagram no. 1, Plate no. 1). The bait used varies with the season: thus "operu" (Decapterus macarellus), "ature" (Selar crumennhialmus), "numa" (Mulloidichihys samoensis), "marara" (Cysselurus simus), and skipjack fillet (Katsuwonus pelamis) are the most commonly used. The technique consists in placing this bait low down in the school. In order to facilitate the drop of the line, a stone is fixed to it temporarily. When the fisherman considers that he has reached the required depth, he gives the line a sharp jerk upwards which releases the stone and also some crumbs which awake the tunas' appetite.

  • A New Species of Cretaceous Acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson
    A new species of Cretaceous acanthomorph from Canada 15 February 2016, by Sarah Gibson to sit flush along the body, helping the fish swim faster by reducing drag, or they can be extended completely out to act as a defense mechanism, in case you are a predator looking for a quick bite. Near the base of the Acanthomorpha phylogenetic tree is a small group of fishes, Polymixiiformes, comprised of a single living genus, Polymixia, more commonly known as the beardfish. This innocuous fish seems harmless, but according to many ichthyologists, Polymixia is just one key to understanding acanthomorph relationships. Unraveling the evolutionary relationships is difficult with a single living genus, but thankfully, polymixiiforms have a fossil record dating back to the Cretaceous, containing an increasing number of taxa as new discoveries are being made, particularly in deposits in North America, where fewer acanthomorph fossils are known compared to Figuring out fish relationships is no small feat. Credit: the more-studied Eastern Tethys Ocean deposits in Near et al. 2013 Europe. For being one of the largest groups of vertebrates, and having one of the richer fossil records among organisms, the relationships of fishes are still hotly debated. Humongous datasets are being compiled that involve molecular (both nuclear and mitochondrial) data, compared and contrasted with thorough morphological analyses. (I'm not going to get into all of it here, simply because of its sheer complexity.) What I am going to get into, however, is the fossil record of one subset of fishes, the acanthomorphs. The stout beardfish, Polymixia nobilis. Credit: Wikipedia Acanthomorphs are teleost fishes that possess true fin spines: a set of prominent, sharp, unsegmented spines in the front portion of their dorsal and/or anal fins, followed by a portion of One such new species was recently described by pliable, segmented, "softer" looking rays.

  • Meroz-Plank Canoe-Edited1 Without Bold Ital
    UC Berkeley Survey Reports, Survey of California and Other Indian Languages Title The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1977t6ww Author Meroz, Yoram Publication Date 2013 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Plank Canoe of Southern California: Not a Polynesian Import, but a Local Innovation YORAM MEROZ By nearly a millennium ago, Polynesians had settled most of the habitable islands of the eastern Pacific, as far east as Easter Island and as far north as Hawai‘i, after journeys of thousands of kilometers across open water. It is reasonable to ask whether Polynesian voyagers traveled thousands of kilometers more and reached the Americas. Despite much research and speculation over the past two centuries, evidence of contact between Polynesia and the Americas is scant. At present, it is generally accepted that Polynesians did reach South America, largely on the basis of the presence of the sweet potato, an American cultivar, in prehistoric East Polynesia. More such evidence would be significant and exciting; however, no other argument for such contact is currently free of uncertainty or controversy.1 In a separate debate, archaeologists and ethnologists have been disputing the rise of the unusually complex society of the Chumash of Southern California. Chumash social complexity was closely associated with the development of the plank-built canoe (Hudson et al. 1978), a unique technological and cultural complex, whose origins remain obscure (Gamble 2002). In a recent series of papers, Terry Jones and Kathryn Klar present what they claim is linguistic, archaeological, and ethnographical evidence for prehistoric contact from Polynesia to the Americas (Jones and Klar 2005, Klar and Jones 2005).

  • Felucca Letter-CC - Google Docs
    1/14/2019 Felucca Letter-CC - Google Docs January 14, 2019 Dear Blank, I just got back from an amazing trip to Egypt. I took sixty students along with me. Man, what a nightmare getting everyone a passport and the proper shots. We took a 747 out of SFO, that’s San Francisco International Airport, and the flight took over TWENTY hours, twelve to London, a four hour lay over, then another four hours to Cairo. When we finally got to our hotel we were so tired we didn’t notice how nice it actually was. We spent three nights in the Four Season Cairo at the Nile. What a spectacular hotel! The pool is amazing with four hot tubs and a swim up bar. Of course, Mrs. M and I couldn’t enjoy the bar, except for a soda, as we were traveling with 60 rambunctious sixth graders, but...maybe next time. Most incredible though was finally visiting all the sites I been teaching my students about for the past 28 years. Finally, I got to see Khufu’s Great Pyramid at Giza and the impressive monument to Ramses II at Abu Simbel. But, my two favorite sites are actually less well­known. Both Hatshepsut’s temple at Dayr­al­Bahri and Senusret’s White Chapel have amazing stories behind their construction. My favorite site was Hatshepsut's temple at Dayr­al­Bahri. Hatshepsut was the first really powerful female pharaoh. She loved to be viewed as a man, and often wore a false beard, the symbol of divine kingship.

The article tries to answer the following questions: How does feminist media take advantage of the power and knowledge base of transnational networks of support to represent and debate the impacts of globalization on the li- ves of women? What type of media and mediation can they access to discuss complex issues such as abortion, incest or rape with the general public? How does the creative process happen to trans- form a TV program in a catalyst to imagine the change and a platform for sharing solutions?
