Fishing Research Papers Samples For Students

Introduction

Is the fish population close to extinction? This could be addressed by taking a look at the present trend in the marine and aquatic population. The marine and aquatic habitat house more population and species than the terrestrial. The researches have proved, and made it obvious by the fact that water bodies take up 70 percent of the earth surface. Fishes are the most common species in the aquatic and marine habitat. There are various types of fishes, and each species is important in the food chain. In fact, the depletion of one species can create incredible consequence and effect ...

Coast Fishery and the West Coast Salmon Fishery

Introduction
History has it that the East Coast also known as Northern cod was one of the largest fish hubs in the Northwest Atlantic. The term East Coast Fisheries, arose from the sailors who had found the fishing grounds on the Eastern Coast of Canada. The entire communities greatly relied on fishing for their daily activities (Shield 22). No one ever imagined that the fishing industry would near extinction. Canadians and foreigners who had found great resources, generated a lot of revenue from the exercise, and this led to overfishing. Although Shield (23) believes overfishing was the reason to ...

Introduction

East African countries such as Kenya, Somalia, and Tanzania, among other countries along the Indian Ocean are constantly and increasingly under the threat of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (IUU) by foreign ship fleets. IUU fishing leads to the overexploitation of fish populations and hinders the recovery of fish stocks and ecosystems. In addition, it leads to unfair competition for fishers who use legal practices and procedures and also affects the socioeconomic well-being of communities engaged in fishing (MRAG 5). In addition, resources of the Small Developing States (SDSs) are depleted. This compromises income and food Security while undermining ...

Coral Bleaching: Causes, Effects and Response Action Plan Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress which leads to an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live in the coral leaves (Rosenberg, Kushmaro, Kramarsky-Winter, Banin and Yossi 1). The algae will reduce or all will leave. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and colour. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing colour and thus the term coral bleaching (Douglas, 386).
The skeletal ...

Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress experienced by the coral reefs. The stress is caused by an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live within them. These algae are of the genus Symbiodinium. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and color. The algae will reduce or all will leave the coral reefs when there are harsh physical conditions. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing color and thus the term coral ...

The endangered basking sharks

Richard & Charles (2000) define an endangered species as one that may become extinct if measures are not taken to avert the situation. Endangered species have a small population and are often affected by human or natural environmental changes leading to their demise and eventual extinction. Sharks as an endangered species have in the recent past elicited reactions from animal conservationists, who have staged demonstrations against the intrusion of human life activities that have led to the decline of the different species of sharks. Richard & Charles (2000) note that sharks reproduce in small numbers thus putting them in great ...

Do we need that Endangered Species Act?

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 was an innovative measure for the future of nature and continues to protect the diversity of the animal and plant kingdom of the United States. This law is important to the survival of all living things because every living organism depends on the life of another living thing to survive, including humans. Aquatic species in Florida are essential for the health of the environment in which it lives. For example, because all creatures and plants depend on each other for survival, when one species is allowed to become extinct, all other species in ...

Deforestation started when people stopped nomadic living and settled down to farming. In order to do this room had to be made for settlements and farms so the land use changed from forestation to agriculture. International policies have been set to protect tropical forests, slow down deforestation and encourage sustainable use of forests particularly in the world’s rainforests. Saving tropical rainforests is a priority because of their incredible plant and animal diversity. Scientists estimate that “more than half of (the world’s species) live in the tropical moist forests which cover only 6 percent of the world’s land ...

Reefs and shorelines are some of the most instrumental features of natural water bodies. Consequently, they should be preserved and kept clean. Keeping shorelines clean helps preserve the water quality and keep the water in the water bodies clean. The vegetation found in the shorelines filters surface runoff before the runoff can reach the water. Consequently, pollutants such as pesticides, manure, fertilizers, motor fluids and sediments, that may be present in the runoff, are prevented from entering the water. These pollutants can affect the aquatic animals and the water ecosystem in many ways. For instance, deposition of a large amount ...

Through Animal Rights Lenses
The reasoning of the existence of a superior race is often used as a basis for animal objectification. Humans are believed to be the more advanced species when it comes to intelligence and even physique. This train of thought has allowed humans to justify hunting down animals, taking animals from their natural habitats and using them for purposes that would suit human’s wants and needs. Very few have ever questioned this notion, especially in the 19th century where things were very ...

Externality is a situation in which the activity of one entity affects the welfare of another entity in a way that is outside the existing market (Rosen, 2005, p. 47). Simply put, externalities are the costs or benefits that arise from market transactions which are not reflected in prices. And when we speak of negative externalities, obviously, these are costs to third parties (other than the producer and consumer). Why is there negative externality? I learnt from Economics that under a competitive system, the market price of a good takes into account both the negative and positive effects of using the good. However, ...
