  • The Benefits and Risks of Aquacultural Production for the Aquarium Trade
    Aquaculture 205 (2002) 203–219 www.elsevier.com/locate/aqua-online The benefits and risks of aquacultural production for the aquarium trade Michael Tlusty * Edgerton Research Laboratory, New England Aquarium, Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110, USA Received 15 February 2001; accepted 2 May 2001 Abstract Production of animals for the aquarium hobbyist trade is a rapidly growing sector of the aquacultural industry, and it will continue to become more important as restrictions are placed on collecting animals for the wild. Currently, approximately 90% of freshwater fish traded in the hobbyist industry are captively cultured. However, for marine ornamentals, the reverse is true as only a handful of species is produced via aquaculture technology. Given the future importance of aquaculture production of ornamental species, it is important to elucidate the benefits and risks for this sector. Thus, here the production of ornamental species is compared to the production of food species. The most notable difference is that the marine coastal environment is not currently utilized in the production of ornamental species. Thus, public opposition will not be as great since there is no direct impact on the marine environment. In assessing the benefits and risks of ornamental aquaculture production, the cases where further development should and should not be pursued are developed. In general, aquaculture production of ornamental species should be pursued when species are difficult to obtain from the wild, breeding supports a conservation program, there is some environmental benefit or elimination of environmental damage via the breeding program, or to enhance the further production of domesticated species. Aquaculture production of ornamental species should be avoided when it would replace a harvest of wild animals that maintains habitat, a cultural benefit, or an economic benefit.

  • Project Piaba 2018 Annual Report Conservation Via Beneficial Aquarium Fisheries Buy a Fish, Save a Tree
    Project Piaba 2018 Annual Report Conservation via Beneficial Aquarium Fisheries Buy a Fish, Save a Tree Project Piaba is a nonprofit organization formed to both study and foster beneficial home aquarium fisheries in the Amazon Basin and in areas of biological importance worldwide. The home aquarium fishery based along Brazil’s Rio Negro has been the focus of this work since the Project’s inception and remained at the center of our efforts during 2018 (learn more about Project Piaba). This annual report will provide an overview of the Project’s accomplishments and activity during 2018 and our plans to continue to build on this positive momentum during 2019. We continued in 2018 as a fully volunteer-staffed organization with our specialists and team members all contributing to projects and capacity building on an unpaid and volunteer basis. The accomplishments and activities detailed below were all achieved with no paid staff and almost zero overhead and we are barely keeping up with the opportunities. We are very grateful for, and proud of the accomplishments that Project Piaba has made in 2018 and the previous 25 years. Our relationships, visions, and strategic actions are now well underway with key stakeholders in the zoo and public aquarium community, the mainstream conservation & academic communities, and leaders in the pet trade. During 2019, we hope and expect to create a paid staff position to establish the essential infrastructure needed to help us continue to amplify our efforts and further the Project’s mission and objectives. Accomplishments in 2018: Best Handling Practices – Community Workshops: During 2018 we were able to continue the implementation of Best Handling Practices (BHPs) for the Rio Negro fishery and we successfully completed an additional community workshop.

  • Processing Text
    4 Processing Text “I was trying to comprehend the meaning of the words” Spock, Star Trek: e Final Frontier 4.1 From Words to Terms Aer gathering the text we want to search, the next step is to decide if it should be modied or restructured in some way to simplify searching. e types of changes that are made at this stage are called text transformation or, more oen, text pro- cessing. e goal of text processing is to convert the many forms that words can occur into more consistent index terms. Index terms are the representation of the content of a document that are used for searching. e simplest decision about text processing would be to not do it at all. A good example of this is the “nd” feature in your favorite word processor. By the time you use the nd command, the text you wish to search has already been gathered: it’s on the screen. Aer you type the word you want to nd, the word processor scans the document and tries to nd the exact sequence of letters that you just typed. is feature is extremely useful, and nearly every text editing program can do this because users demand it. e trouble is that exact text search is rather restrictive. e most annoying restriction is case-sensitivity: suppose you want to nd “computer hardware,”and there is a sentence in the document that begins with “Computer hardware.” Your search query does not exactly match the text in the sentence, because the rst letter of the sentence is capitalized.
