Joey Morrison Ethnographic Fieldschool
Joey Morrison Ethnographic Fieldschool - Peru Dr. Michelle Grocke 7/13/18 Local Knowledge and Global Trends: Fishing, Climate, and Industrialization on the Peruvian Coast Ethnographic research and the discipline-specific methods such as pile sorting and free listing are not only the cornerstone of the field of anthropology, but they complement the research of numerous disciplines ranging from geography to economics and served as the cornerstone for the field of anthropology. Although there has been collaboration in the past, currently, the incorporation of and the collaboration with “ethno” disciplines are on the rise. These schools of thought effectively combine ethnographic methods and anthropological analytical lenses to their long-established discipline-specific methods, resulting in “ethnohistory” or “ethnoecology.” The benefits of these mergers are powerful. Ethnographic methods and the resulting analyses offers intimate, lived- experience, grassroots glimpses into intricate, complex, and previously impenetrable cultural domains. Consequently, these interdisciplinary approaches not only bear the potential to revolutionize the ways in which research disciplines ask questions and approach problems, but they can enhance the robusticity of a research project, complement existing literature, and even dispel assumptions. My research question, in many ways, emerged from assumptions and the potential for ethnography to dispel problematic generalizations will emerge throughout this ethnography. I aim to demonstrate the ways in which ethnographic accounts can enhance and provide a more detailed image into the complexities of climate change and global development at local levels. Due to the myriad ways in which the lives of coastal fisherman are intimately enmeshed with the natural world, in this case, the coast, the lived-experience of these fishermen can yield powerful insights into how global climatic and macroeconomic trends are actually being experienced on a local scale. -

(Engraulis Ringens) from 1961 to 1979*
ON THE SEASONAL GROWTH, MONTHLY RECRUITMENT AND MONTHLY BIOMASS OF PERUVIAN ANCHOVETA (Engraulis ringens) FROM 1961 TO 1979* by D. Pauly1 and I. Tsukayama2 1 International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), MCC P.O. Box 1501, Makate, Metro Manila, Philippines 2 Instituto del Mar del Perú, Apartado Postal 22, Callao, Perú * ICLARM Contribution No. 145, PROCOPA Contribution No. 14. Resumen Se han examinado en detalle datos de longitud-captura mensual de anchoveta peruana (Engraulis ringens) correspondientes a la region Norte, usando los programas de computadora ELEFAN I y III (Electronic LEngth Frequency ANalysis). ELEFAN I proporcionó para cada uno de los años, desde 1961 a 1979, valores similares de Ly K de la ecuación de crecimiento de Von Bertalanffy. Se muestra que ocurren oscilaciones estacionales en el crecimiento, los cuales son cuantificados. El programa ELEFAN III, que permite la aplicación de diferentes formas del análisis de población virtual en base a datos de longitud-captura, fue empleado para obtener series de tiempo, sobre una base mensual, de los siguientes parámetros: reclutamiento (R), stock desovante (S) y biomasa total (B). También se presentan y discuten series de tiempo de capturas mensuales (C) y de valores derivados (loge (R/S) y F = C/B). INTRODUCTION For about 10 years (1962–1971), the Peruvian anchoveta (Engraulis ringens, Jenyns [Fam: Engraulidae]) supported the largest single-species fishery in the world, with annual catches in excess of 12 million tonnes. Present catches are lower, but still make this species a very important aquatic resource (see contributions in Glantz and Thompson, 1981). The anchoveta has been much studied, and indeed, most methods available for assessing exploited fish stocks have been applied to the anchoveta, often by the very scientists who developed these methods (Boerema et al., 1967; Schaefer, 1967; Gulland, 1968; IMARPE, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977a). -

An Analysis of Temporal and Spatial
AN ANALYSIS OF TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL PATTERNS IN GLOBAL SEABIRD ABUNDANCE DURING THE MODERN INDUSTRIAL ERA, 1950-2010, AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GLOBAL SEABIRD DECLINE AND MARINE FISHERIES CATCH by Michelle Paleczny BSc, University of Victoria, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Zoology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Vancouver November 2012 © Michelle Paleczny, 2012 Abstract Seabird populations worldwide are threatened by anthropogenic activities including hunting, introduced predators, habitat destruction, pollution, and fisheries, yet the cumulative effects of these threats on seabird populations is difficult to assess because seabird population studies are mainly limited to small temporal and spatial scales. The present study used global databases of seabird abundance, seabird distribution, and fisheries catch, to estimate global annual seabird population size, overall and by seabird family, 1950-2010; map observed global seabird population change within the same timeframe; and compare temporal and spatial patterns in seabird decline with fisheries, a major threat for which global temporally and spatially explicit data is available throughout the modern industrial era. The global seabird population was estimated to decline by 25% during the modern industrial era, from 1.023 billion individuals in 1950 to 0.768 billion individuals in 2010, and overall decline was observed in eleven of the fourteen seabird families.

PACIFIC SEABIRDS A Publication of the Pacific Seabird Group Volume 34 Number 2 Fall 2007 PACIFIC SEABIRD GROUP Dedicated to the Study and Conservation of Pacific Seabirds and Their Environment The Pacific Seabird Group (PSG) was formed in 1972 due to the need for better communication among Pacific seabird researchers. PSG provides a forum for the research activities of its members, promotes the conservation of seabirds, and informs members and the public of issues relating to Pacific Ocean seabirds and their environment. PSG members include research scientists, conservation professionals, and members of the public from all parts of the Pacific Ocean. The group also welcomes seabird professionals and enthusiasts in other parts of the world. PSG holds annual meetings at which scientific papers and symposia are presented; abstracts are published on our web site. The group is active in promoting conservation of seabirds, include seabird/fisheries interactions, monitoring of seabird populations, seabird restoration following oil spills, establishment of seabird sanctuaries, and endangered species. Policy statements are issued on conservation issues of critical importance. PSG’s journals are Pacific Seabirds (formerly the PSG Bulletin) and Marine Ornithology. Other publications include symposium volumes and technical reports; these are listed near the back of this issue. PSG is a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Ornithological Council, and the American Bird Conservancy. Annual dues for membership are $30 (individual and family); $24 (student, undergraduate and graduate); and $900 (Life Membership, payable in five $180 installments).

Chapter 11 Capture Fisheries
Chapter 11. Capture Fisheries Writing team: Fábio Hazin, Enrique Marschoff (Co-Lead member), Beatrice Padovani Ferreira (Co-Lead member), Jake Rice (Co-Lead member), Andrew Rosenberg (Co-Lead member) 1. Present status and trends of commercially exploited fish and shellfish stocks Production of fish from capture fisheries (Figure 1) and aquaculture for human consumption and industrial purposes has grown at the rate of 3.2 per cent for the past half century from about 20 to nearly 160 million mt by 2012 (FAO 2014). Figure 1. Evolution of world’s capture of marine species. From SOFIA (FAO 2014). Globally, marine capture fisheries produced 82.6 million mt in 2011 and 79.7 million mt in 2012. The relatively small year-to-year variations largely reflect changes in the catch of Peruvian anchoveta, which can vary from about 4 to 8 million tons per annum. In 2011 and 2012, 18 countries accounted for more than 76 per cent of global marine harvests in marine capture fisheries (Table 1). Eleven of these countries are in Asia. © 2016 United Nations 1 Table 1. Marine capture fisheries production per country. From SOFIA (FAO, 2014). In 2011-2012, the top ten species (by tonnage) in marine global landings were Peruvian anchoveta, Alaska pollock, skipjack tuna, various sardine species, Atlantic herring, chub mackerel, scads, yellowfin tuna, Japanese anchovy and largehead hairtail. In 2012, 20 species had landings over a half a million tons and this represented 38 per cent of the total global marine capture production. Many of these top species are small pelagic fishes (e.g. -

French, Supervisor ___________________________ Edward Balleisen ___________________________ Jocelyn Olcott ___________________________ Gunther Peck ___________________________ Thomas Rogers ___________________________ Peter Sigal An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Graduate School of Duke University 2011 Copyright by Kristin Wintersteen 2011 Abstract This dissertation explores the history of industrial fisheries in the Humboldt Current marine ecosystem where workers, scientists, and entrepreneurs transformed Peru and Chile into two of the top five fishing nations after World War II. As fishmeal industrialists raided the oceans for proteins to nourish chickens, hogs, and farmed fish, the global “race for fish” was marked by the clash of humanitarian goals and business interests over whether the fish should be used to ameliorate malnutrition in the developing world or extracted and their nutrients exported as mass commodities, at greater profit, as a building block for the food chain in the global North.
