  • Shrimp Fishing in Mexico
    235 Shrimp fishing in Mexico Based on the work of D. Aguilar and J. Grande-Vidal AN OVERVIEW Mexico has coastlines of 8 475 km along the Pacific and 3 294 km along the Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp fishing in Mexico takes place in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, both by artisanal and industrial fleets. A large number of small fishing vessels use many types of gear to catch shrimp. The larger offshore shrimp vessels, numbering about 2 212, trawl using either two nets (Pacific side) or four nets (Atlantic). In 2003, shrimp production in Mexico of 123 905 tonnes came from three sources: 21.26 percent from artisanal fisheries, 28.41 percent from industrial fisheries and 50.33 percent from aquaculture activities. Shrimp is the most important fishery commodity produced in Mexico in terms of value, exports and employment. Catches of Mexican Pacific shrimp appear to have reached their maximum. There is general recognition that overcapacity is a problem in the various shrimp fleets. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE Although trawling for shrimp started in the late 1920s, shrimp has been captured in inshore areas since pre-Columbian times. Magallón-Barajas (1987) describes the lagoon shrimp fishery, developed in the pre-Hispanic era by natives of the southeastern Gulf of California, which used barriers built with mangrove sticks across the channels and mouths of estuaries and lagoons. The National Fisheries Institute (INP, 2000) and Magallón-Barajas (1987) reviewed the history of shrimp fishing on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It began in 1921 at Guaymas with two United States boats.

From surface photometric analysis, we obtain radial profiles of surface brightness, colors, ellipticity, position angle, and the Fourier coefficients that describe the departure of isophotal shapes from a purely elliptical form; we find the presence of dust lanes, patches, and ringlike structure in several galaxies in the sample. We obtain total integrated magnitudes and colors and find that these are in good agreement with the values from the Third Reference Catalogue. Isophotal colors are correlated with each other, following the sequence expected for early-type galaxies. The color gradients in lenticular galaxies are more negative than the corresponding gradients in elliptical galaxies. There is a good correlation between BÀVand BÀR color gradients, and the mean gradients in the BÀV, BÀR,andVÀK0 colors are À0:13 Æ 0:06, À0:18 Æ 0:06, and À0:25 Æ 0:11 mag dexÀ1 in radius, respectively.

    Observing galaxies in Pegasus 01 October 2015 23:07 Context As you look towards Pegasus you are looking below the galactic plane under the Orion spiral arm of our galaxy. The Perseus-Pisces supercluster wall of galaxies runs through this constellation. It stretches from RA 3h +40 in Perseus to 23h +10 in Pegasus and is around 200 million light years away. It includes the Pegasus I group noted later this document. The constellation is well placed from mid summer to late autumn. Pegasus is a rich constellation for galaxy observing. I have observed 80 galaxies in this constellation. Relatively bright galaxies This section covers the galaxies that were visible with direct vision in my 16 inch or smaller scopes. This list will therefore grow over time as I have not yet viewed all the galaxies in good conditions at maximum altitude in my 16 inch scope! NGC 7331 MAG 9 This is the stand out galaxy of the constellation. It is similar to our milky way. Around it are a number of fainter NGC galaxies. I have seen the brightest one, NGC 7335 in my 10 inch scope with averted vision. I have seen NGC 7331 in my 25 x 100mm binoculars. NGC 7814 - Mag 10 ? Not on observed list ?

(present address) Received 14 February 2003 / Accepted 6 May 2003 Abstract. In this second paper on the investigation of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas in nearby edge–on spiral galaxies we present the actual results of the individual galaxies of our Hα imaging survey. A grand total of 74 galaxies have been studied, including the 9 galaxies of a recently studied sub–sample (Rossa & Dettmar 2000). 40.5% of all studied galaxies reveal extraplanar diffuse ionized gas, whereas in 59.5% of the survey galaxies no extraplanar diffuse ionized gas could be detected. The average distances of this extended emission above the galactic midplane range from 1–2 kpc, while individual filaments in a few galaxies reach distances of up to |z| ∼ 6 kpc. In several cases a pervasive layer of ionized gas was detected, similar to the Reynolds layer in our Milky Way, while other galaxies reveal only extended emission locally. The morphology of the diffuse ionized gas is discussed for each galaxy and is compared with observations of other important ISM constituents in the context of the disk–halo connection, in those cases where published results were available.

[email protected] Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP13TB1 Abstract The Caribbean and northern coastal Brazil face severe impacts from climate change, particularly from sea-level rise. This paper analyses current land use and development policies in three Caribbean locations and one at the mouth of the Amazon River to determine if these policies are sufficient to protect economic, natural, and population resources based on current projections of urbanization and sea-level rise. Where policies are not deemed sufficient, the authors will address the question of how land use and infrastructure policies could be adjusted to most cost- effectively mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on the economies and urban populations.
