A Brief Discourse Regarding Collllllon Characteristics of Fishing Clubs and Their Men1bers by Richard G. Bell A Mother Club, a Mystery, and Best of the Worsts Man's life is but vain; For 'tis subject to pain, And sorrow, and short as a bubble; 'Tis a hodge-podge of business and money and ca re, and care and money and tro uble. But we'll take no care when the weather proves fair; Nor will we vex now though it rain; We'll banish all sorrow and sing to tomorrow, and angle and angle again. hus singeth Walton and friends as recorded in The Compleat Angler. Groups of anglers bonding over com- Tmon experience and common water is as old as . .. well, at least as old as Walton, with Thatcht-House being dubbed the Mother Club by author Richard G. Bell. In "Common Threads among the Gold: A Brief Discourse Regarding Common Characteristics of Fishing Clubs and Their Members," Bell begins with the Bible and Berners for stories of fishermen, angling, and attitude. But, he claims, it is Walton who gives us "clubness." Bell's article, originally a presentation to the Lime- stone Club of East Canaan, Connecticut, is filled with stories and songs of anglers banding together for the sake of tradition to fish, eat, drink, be merry, exaggerate, and complain. This rather lively piece begins on page 2. About ten years ago, Frederick Buller found a collection of flies at a rummage sale in a box marked "Unusual Salmon Flies (circa 188o) ." Since then, he's been researching these flies and asking the opinions of others. The flies are, in fact, still a bit of a mystery. Buller recently sent some of these flies to John Betts, a frequent contributor to this journal, for his consideration as well. Betts's additional commentary can be found at the end of Buller's article, "A Hoard of Mysterious Salmon Flies;' which begins on page 13. We live in a culture that loves lists and that regularly issues lists of"best" and "worst" of almost anything. Given that, as well as the tendency of anglers to love anything written about their From Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler, 7th ed. sport, Paul Schullery set out to create a list of bad fishing books, (London: Henry Kent, circa 1802), facing page So. of "Fly Fishing's Greatest Dogs." It turned out to be a tougher task than he imagined, even after eliminating all living writers from this criticism. He quickly discovered that among his well- out an opposing voice for balance; but these readers found read friends, there is little consensus out there as to which books Boyle's article not only praiseworthy, but challenging and are bad or why they are.

Here we present a summary of US experience and discuss potential application of this gear in the Indian Ocean region in the perspective of small-scale fisheries development and bycatch reduction. Introduction Heavy exploitation of swordfish in the Atlantic Ocean during 1980s – early 1990s led to an overfished state in both the North Atlantic and South Atlantic stocks (ICCAT, 2009). High levels of juvenile bycatch in certain areas (in particular, the Florida Straits between Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas) was considered as a major detrimental factor for the stock sustainability.

McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

Fac. Fish., Kagoshima Univ. Vol.29 pp. 81-121 (1980) Fishing Methods and Gears in Panay Island, Philippines*1 Gunzo Kawamura*2 and Teodora Bagarinao*3 Abstract The authors surveyed the fishing methods and gears in Panay and smaller neighboring islands in the Philippines in September-December 1979 and in March-May 1980. This paper is a report on the fishing methods and gears used in these islands, with special focus on the traditional and primitive ones. The term "fishing" is commonly used to mean the capture of many aquatic animals — fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, coelenterates, echinoderms, sponges, and even birds and mammals. Moreover, the harvesting of algae underwater or from the intertidal zone is often an important job for the fishermen. Fishing method is the manner by which the aquatic organisms are captured or collected; fishing gear is the implement developed for the purpose. Oftentimes, the gear alone is not sufficient and auxiliary instruments have to be used to realize a method. A fishing method can be applied by means of various gears, just as a fishing gear can sometimes be used in the appli cation of several methods. Commonly, only commercial fishing is covered in fisheries reports. Although traditional and primitive fishing is done on a small scale, it is still very important from the viewpoint of supply of animal protein.

    1. Cover Page – Characterization of the Catch by Swordfish Buoy Gear in Southeast Florida NOAA Cooperative Research Program Grant Number: NA07NMF4540075 Award Period: 8/1/2007 to 8/31/2009 (reflecting “no-cost” extension granted 7/31/2008) David Kerstetter, Ph.D.* (Project Principal Investigator) and Shannon Bayse Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center 8000 North Ocean Drive Dania Beach, FL 33004 *Corresponding Author: [email protected] December 2009 2. Abstract – This project had the goal of characterizing the target catch and bycatch species and disposition within the directed swordfish fishery in southeast Florida that utilizes the so- called “swordfish buoy gear” (SBG). All fieldwork was completed by the end of August 2009 as expected with the “no-cost” extension granted in 2008. The preliminary analyses of the collected data indicate that catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) for catch and bycatch is much higher for SBG than pelagic longline gear. The fishery encounters very little bycatch, and those animals that are captured by the gear are almost always alive at gear retrieval and subsequent release. This project did not encounter any marine mammals, sea turtles, or sea birds. The descriptions of the behavior of the fishing gear itself, such as effective fishing depths and relationships of effective fishing depths with gear configuration indicate that the gear fishes somewhat shallower than simple additions of the lengths of the gear sections would indicate. The various iterations of the field datasheet that captures all of the fishing activities (deployment, “tending”, and retrieval) and gear characteristics has also been provided as an Appendix to this final report.

  • The Allocation of Fishing Rights in Uk Fisheries A
    THE ALLOCATION OF FISHING RIGHTS IN UK FISHERIES A. Hatcher* and A. Read** * Centre for the Economics and Management of Aquatic Resources (CEMARE) University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO4 8JF, United Kingdom <[email protected]> ** Danbrit Ship Management Ltd 8 Abbey Walk, Grimsby DN31 1NB, United Kingdom 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The UK fishing industry The United Kingdom has a long history of fishing, reflecting its position as an island with a relatively long coastline and its proximity to the productive fishing grounds of the European continental shelf, notably the North Sea, the English Channel and the West of Scotland. The UK fisheries are heterogeneous and this is reflected in a complex fleet structure. The shape of the modern UK fleet is the product of technological and market changes together with political developments, in particular the loss of access to traditional distant water grounds (particularly Iceland and Greenland) in the 1970s and the development of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) by the European Community (EC - which the UK joined in 1972). Under the CFP (see below) there have been national quotas for most stocks since the early 1980s, coupled with a succession of fleet reduction programmes (the so-called MAGPs or multi-annual guidance programmes). There are currently just over 8000 fishing vessels in the UK, although nearly three-quarters of these are inshore boats under 10m in length. Table 1 shows the trend in vessel numbers for the period 1994 to 1999 by vessel type (the “sectors” shown correspond to the classification used by the EC for measuring fleet size).
