Penttila l and Bradford E. Brown Abstract Total instantaneous mortality rates were estimated by four different procedures for the southern New England and Georges Bank yellowtail flounder fishing grounds (1CNAF Subarea 5). Mortality rates were determined from research vessel survey data from 1963 to 1969 by the following methods: (1) slopes of the catch curves; (2) ratios of the catch per tow in a given season to the catch per tow of the same season for the previous year; (3) Robson-Chapman formula; and (4) Heinckes formula. Each method showed a lower mortality rate for Georges Bank than for southern New England, with an average of the estimates giving Z = 1.00 for Georges Bank and Z = 1.25 for southern New England. Introduction (Fig. 1) were based on depth and geographic sub- divisions. The number of stations per stratum were The increased level of fishing on yellowtail allocated roughly proportional to the area of the flounder, Limanda ferruginea (Storer), in recent years stratum. made it necessary to establish catch quotas in 1CNAF Subarea 5 in 1971.

FLOUNDER 7 Determination of Age and Length Composition used were: off Block Island, Nantucket Shoals, South- west Georges Bank, Southeast Georges Bank, and Females grow faster than males after the age of 2 Cultivator Shoals (Fig. 1). These average sex ratios were years (Lux and Nichy, 1969). Because a fixed number of used to determine sex composition length frequencies on males and females were aged, it was necessary to have the five survey cruises from 1967 to 1969. For the 1969 length frequency data prior to 1969 separated by sex cruises, where age samples were stratified only by length before the age frequency could be expanded properly to and not by sex, ratios of the fish in the age sample estimate the age composition of the total catch. Males provided a valid estimate of the proportion of males and and females were separated in length frequency data for females in the entire catch. the nine cruises from 1963 to 1966, but not for the five cruises from 1967 to 1969. The average sex ratios for Age-length frequencies for the entire catch by sex the latter had to be calculated as follows: Summaries were then determined. Stratified means of numbers were made by strata of the number of males and caught per tow for southern New England and Georges females in length groups for the nine cruises from 1963 Bank per one cm length interval, per age group, were to 1966 on which yellowtail length frequencies were estimated separately for males and females. There were recorded by sex. Five length groups were chosen: 1-25 cases where lengths of fish in the age samples did not cm, 26-30 cm, 31-35 cm, 36-40 cm, and greater than 40 include every length class of all fish caught. The age of cm. Sex ratios were then determined for each length those fish in length classes for which age data was not group within each stratum and cruise and year. Sex available was determined by using the estimates of ratios were averaged over years for each season (winter, neighboring classes. The totals for males and females summer, and autumn) for each length group and were then added to give a combined estimate of the stratum. In those cases where fewer than 100 fish were mean catch per tow per age-group for each yellowtail used to determine a ratio, neighboring strata were ground. These estimates were used to determine the combined to give the ratio for a larger area. The areas instantaneous mortality rates for southern New England TABLE 2.

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

We studied the health benets and risks associated with Baltic herring and salmon in four countries to identify critical uncertainties and to facilitate an evidence-based discussion. Methods We performed an online survey investigating consumers' sh consumption and its motivation in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden. Dioxin and methylmercury concentrations were estimated based on Finnish studies. Exposure-response functions for several health endpoints were evaluated and quantied based on the scientic literature. We also quantied the infertility risk of men based on a recent European risk assessment estimating childhood dioxin exposure and its effect on sperm concentration later in life.

Mars, interior; Impact processes Abstract We derive synthetic electrical conductivity, seismic velocity, and density distributions from the results of martian mantle convection models affected by basin-forming meteorite impacts. The electrical conductivity features an intermediate minimum in the strongly depleted topmost mantle, sandwiched between higher conductivities in the lower crust and a smooth increase toward almost constant high values at depths greater than 400 km. The bulk sound speed increases mostly smoothly throughout the mantle, with only one marked change at the appearance of β-olivine near 1100 km depth.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.
