    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

  • Maritime Trade and Merchant Shipping: the Shipping/Trade-Ratio from the 1870S Until Today
    INSTITUTT FOR SAMFUNNSØKONOMI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS SAM 12 2016 ISSN: 0804-6824 June 2016 Discussion paper Maritime trade and merchant shipping: The shipping/trade-ratio from the 1870s until today BY Jari Ojala AND Stig Tenold This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion. Maritime trade and merchant shipping: The shipping/trade-ratio from the 1870s until today Jari Ojala, University of Jyväskylä Stig Tenold, Norwegian School of Economics This paper discusses the development of countries’ market shares in world shipping over the last 150 years. The analysis is based upon a new and purpose-built indicator: the shipping/trade-ratio. This indicator presents the relationship between the merchant marine of a country and the country’s role in world trade. Analysis of the shipping/trade-ratio identifies two important developments. First, although the share of the world fleet registered in Europe has dropped significantly, Europe’s role in world shipping over the last fifty years has been more stable than is commonly perceived. Second, there appears to have been an increasing specialisation in the world shipping industry, both among and within continents. Internationally and within Europe, certain “super-transporters” have acquired large market shares, while most countries have relatively limited fleets. “The sea-shore has been the point of departure, to knowledge, as to commerce. The most advanced nations are always those who navigate the most.”1 Introduction Within naval history, the question of “maritime power” plays an important role. Countless books have been written and numerous careers have been forged trying to define, discuss and debate the question of what constitutes maritime power and who the maritime powers are and have been.2 Within merchant shipping history, the power question has seldom been explicitly discussed, though it has been an implicit element of national historical narratives.

Salmon farms destroying wild salmon populations in Canada, Europe: study ALISON AULD . Canadian Press NewsWire . Toronto: Feb 11, 2008. Abstract (Summary) The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries. The paper didn't look to the causes of the declines, which have been discussed in a series of studies over the last decade that have linked disease, interbreeding of escaped salmon and lice from farmed fish with reductions. Full Text (618 words) Copyright Canadian Press Feb 11, 2008 HALIFAX _ Salmon farming operations have reduced wild salmon populations by up to 70 per cent in several areas around the world and are threatening the future of the endangered stocks, according a new scientific study. The research by two Canadian marine biologists showed dramatic declines in the abundance of wild salmon populations whose migration takes them past salmon farms in Canada, Ireland and Scotland. ``Our estimates are that they reduced the survival of wild populations by more than half,'' Jennifer Ford, lead author of the study published Monday in the Public Library of Science journal, said in Halifax. ``Less than half of the juvenile salmon from those populations that would have survived to come back and reproduce actually come back because they're killed by some mechanism that has to do with salmon farming.'' The authors, including the late Halifax biologist Ransom Myers, claim the study is the first of its kind to take an international view of stock sizes in countries that have significant salmon aquaculture industries.

  • Pauly D (2009) Beyond Duplicity and Ignorance in Global Fisheries. Scient
    FEATURE ARTICLE SCIENTIA MARINA 73(2) June 2009, 215-224, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.2009.73n2215 Beyond duplicity and ignorance in global fisheries* DANIEL PAULY Sea Around Us Project, Fisheries Centre Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, V6T 1Z4, Canada. SUMMARY: The three decades following World War II were a period of rapidly increasing fishing effort and landings, but also of spectacular collapses, particularly in small pelagic fish stocks. This is also the period in which a toxic triad of catch underreporting, ignoring scientific advice and blaming the environment emerged as standard response to ongoing fisheries collapses, which became increasingly more frequent, finally engulfing major North Atlantic fisheries. The response to the depletion of traditional fishing grounds was an expansion of North Atlantic (and generally of northern hemisphere) fisher- ies in three dimensions: southward, into deeper waters and into new taxa, i.e. catching and marketing species of fish and invertebrates previously spurned, and usually lower in the food web. This expansion provided many opportunities for mis- chief, as illustrated by the European Union’s negotiated ‘agreements’ for access to the fish resources of Northwest Africa, China’s agreement-fee exploitation of the same, and Japan blaming the resulting resource declines on the whales. Also, this expansion provided new opportunities for mislabelling seafood unfamiliar to North Americans and Europeans, and mislead- ing consumers, thus reducing the impact of seafood guides and similar effort toward sustainability. With fisheries catches declining, aquaculture—despite all public relation efforts—not being able to pick up the slack, and rapidly increasing fuel prices, structural changes are to be expected in both the fishing industry and the scientific disciplines that study it and in- fluence its governance.

  • Fisheries Centre Report 1993-2000
    19931993 -- 20002000 ReportReport TheThe FFisheriesisheries CentrCentree UnivUniversityersity ofof BritishBritish ColumbiaColumbia Forewords want to congratulate all the members of the Fisheries Centre whose Iachievements are recorded in this excellent report. Over a very short time period, the Centre has contributed many exciting new initiatives in the areas of sustainable development and the planned growth of our fisheries. British Columbia is a vast treas- ure-house of natural resources, but we must exercise responsible stewardship over the complex ecosystems that surround us if we hope to preserve that treasure for future generations. The Fisheries Centre brings together government agencies, First Nations, and the University in a vital collaboration, offering an excellent model of how to ad- dress an issue of both regional and global importance through multidisciplinary research and teaching. Many problems lie ahead, but this report gives us reason to be optimistic about our ability to find solutions. DR MARTHA PIPER PRESIDENT, UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA am delighted that, in its first eight years, the Fisheries Centre is successfully Ifulfilling its mandate as one of 26 interdisciplinary research units within the Faculty of Graduate Studies. The output reviewed in this report not only underlines the Centres influential global role in its field, but also reflects the remarkable drive and enthusiasm of its members. An internal report in 1996 identified poor accommodation as one of the main weaknesses and so we are pleased to see reported here the success in attracting Canada Foundation for Innovation funding that will provide a new home for Fisheries Centre members. The Faculty of Graduate Studies is proud to provide con- tinuing support for the Fisheries Centre in its activities.

  • Merchant Shipping and Freight Rates During World War I
    INSTITUTT FOR SAMFUNNSØKONOMI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS SAM 07 2017 ISSN: 0804-6824 May 2017 Discussion paper Navigating through torpedo attacks and enemy raiders: Merchant shipping and freight rates during World War I BY Jan Tore Klovland This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion Navigating through torpedo attacks and enemy raiders: Merchant shipping and freight rates during World War I ∗ Jan Tore Klovland Norwegian School of Economics [email protected] May 25, 2017 Abstract During World War I ocean freight rates rose to extraordinary levels. Using a new monthly dataset it is shown that freight rates can be well explained by economic activity, commodity prices, war risk and world tonnage in the period 1912 to 1916. In the first two years of the war part of the British merchant fleet was directly controlled by the Government but neutral shipping was basically free to operate as normal. In this period neutral shipping accounted for about one third of British imports. In the final two years of the war a much stricter regime of freight control was introduced that resulted in the withdrawal of a large proportion of neutral shipowners from British and Allied trade. Together with the mounting losses of tonnage due to the German submarine campaign this created an acute shortage of carrying capacity and reduced imports. It is argued that the policy of freight control may have rested on a misconception of the role of freight rates as a source of the high wartime inflation.

  • Education Research and Administrative Data
    INSTITUTT FOR SAMFUNNSØKONOMI DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS SAM 24 2015 ISSN: 0804-6824 October 2015 Discussion paper Education Research and Administrative Data BY David Figlio, Krzysztof Karbownik AND Kjell G. Salvanes This series consists of papers with limited circulation, intended to stimulate discussion. Education Research and Administrative Data Prepared for the Handbook of the Economics of Education, Volume 5 David Figlio, Northwestern University and NBER Krzysztof Karbownik, Northwestern University Kjell G. Salvanes, Norwegian School of Economics Abstract Thanks to extraordinary and exponential improvements in data storage and computing capacities, it is now possible to collect, manage, and analyze data in magnitudes and in manners that would have been inconceivable just a short time ago. As the world has developed this remarkable capacity to store and analyze data, so have the world’s governments developed large-scale, comprehensive data files on tax programs, workforce information, benefit programs, health, and education. While these data are collected for purely administrative purposes, they represent remarkable new opportunities for expanding our knowledge. This chapter describes some of the benefits and challenges associated with the use of administrative data in education research. We also offer specific case studies of data that have been developed in both the Nordic countries and the United States, and offer an (incomplete) inventory of data sets used by social scientists to study education questions on every inhabited continent on earth. Education Research and Administrative Data I. Introduction Thanks to extraordinary and exponential improvements in data storage and computing capacities, it is now possible to collect, manage, and analyze data in magnitudes and in manners that would have been inconceivable just a short time ago.

    ÅRSMELDING 2000 Havforskningsinstituttet - Informasjonen Jo Høyer - Tlf. 55 23 85 21 Monika von Minden - 55 23 85 16 Telefaks Informasjonen: 55 23 85 86 Redaktør: Jo Høyer Grafisk design og foto: John Ringstad Trykk: Scanner Grafisk Om Sars’ illustrasjoner Årsmelding 2000 presenterer Georg Ossian Sars’ originaltegninger av torskens utviklingsstadier. I 1863 fikk Georg Ossian Sars i oppdrag av Departementet for det indre å kartlegge torskens vandringer. I tillegg til dette utførte han et banebrytende arbeid som beskrev torskens utvikling fra eggløsning til moden skrei. Dette arbeidet består av sju plansjer som beskriver torskens befruktning, embryologi, larveutvikling, metamorfose og vekst frem til kjønnsmoden skrei. Plansjeverket er Sars sine originaltegninger som han selv har kopiert fra sine opprinnelige skisser utført i Lofoten i 1860-årene. Disse plansjene ble laget til en internasjonal fiskeriutstilling som ble avholdt i museumsbygningen på Nygårdshøyden sommeren 1865; året før museet ble innviet. I forbindelse med utstillingen var D.C. Danielsen formann ved avdeling for fiskeprodukter og skulle blant annet sørge for fremvisning av de viktigste fiskeslagene. I sakens anledning henvendte han seg til Sars og ba om å få tilsendt eksemplarer av de forskjellige utviklingsstadier fra egg, larver og yngel som Sars hadde oppdaget. Han ønsket kopier av Sars sine tegninger "da selve organismene er små og hvad der foregaar kan ikke let sees med blott øie"... Danielsen skriver til Sars tre år senere og forteller at Georg Ossian Sars plansjeverket ble en publikumssuksess. Ifølge Danielsen hadde Sars sin beretning om skreiens utvikling "gjort megen Lykke paa disse kanter, ikke alene hele Bryggen og Børsen har læst den med stor interesse og tildels lært den utenad, men ogsaa Byens smukke Kjøn har fundet stort Behag i den" skriver en henrykt Danielsen.

Received 15 November 2020; revised 22 January 2021; accepted 26 January 2021. Sidney Holt and Ray Beverton are primarily recognized for developing the basis of demographic stock assessment modelling, but their endur- ing legacy continues to influence and guide advancements in many fields of fisheries science. Although largely forgotten, their contributions to spatial modelling laid the foundation for a variety of applications in aquatic and terrestrial populations. Spatial modelling approaches are rapidly evolving beyond even the visionary scope of Beverton and Holt due to advancements in understanding of spatial population structure, collection of spatially explicit data, and statistical parameter estimation.
