Southern bluefin tuna

The Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) supports the most valuable fishery in Cuba, and generates a net income of around US$70 million per year, it provides direct employment to 1,110 fishers and indirect employment to approximately 7,800 people (Puga et al. 2006). The total catch of spiny lobster grew until the early-mid 80s, when reached about 12,000 t. In the early 90s, landings decreased along with the Cuban economy, but by the middle of the 90s it began to recover, but…

fisheries have been pushed to or beyond their biological limits and are in need of strict management plans to restore them. Several important commercial fish populations such as Atlantic bluefin tuna have declined to the point where their survival as a species is threatened. Target fishing of top predators, such as tuna and groupers, is changing marine communities, which lead to an abundance of smaller marine species, such as sardines and anchovies. To restore fishes abundance and productivity…

Harper Lee was born in Alabama in 1926. She was the youngest of four and considered herself a tomboy (similar to Scout). Her mother suffered from a mental illness and rarely left the house (similar to Boo Radley). Lee studied law (similar to atticus) and then published To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960 during the Civil Rights Movement. Her novel went on to win the Pulitzer Prize a year later. In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and gender inequalities are the main issues. Lee approaches…

The novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” was written from a child’s point of view at the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement. Harper Lee used actual event in her life to fabricate the foundation of the novel. It expressed the views of racism concerning justices with a gothic mixed in the context. The novel was centered on a child seeing everything in black and white. Lee used characters to symbolize mockingbirds. The novel experienced character persona of good and evil. There were similarities…

boyishness is depicted in the beginning of the novel and draws attention to how her feminist attributes add on. Sometimes people may force Atticus to see the “bigger picture” of the traditional southern women stereotypes. Scout does not agree with the idea of Alexandria trying to turn her into a traditional Southern woman (73). “Since the mother of Scout and Jem is dead, Atticus has assumed the full responsibility of playing mother and father whenever possible – though admittedly he employs…

It is hard to fully understand any story, especially the dramatic, yet deeply moving To Kill A Mockingbird. However, Harper Lee elucidates the story’s theme and plot line by letting a six year old become the narrator of the story. As Scout narrates the story, she not only explains the events, but also shows the impact of the events along with showing a child’s perspective of common prejudice in her hometown, Maycomb. As a result, as time passes, the reader can witness and understand the process…

Francine Prose appeals to ethos in multiple personaes in her essay I Know Why the Caged Bird Cannot Read, including being a professional researcher, a former high school student, and a parent. In the second paragraph of page 91, Prose appeals to ethos as a professional researcher who looks for comprehensive sources of evidence to increase her credibility. Prose lists the sources of the “photocopy pages” she has collected before she states her observation. By saying “what emerges from these…

Ever wondered about how Jem’s morality, and identity changed? Well, in the book To Kill a Mockingbird influenced Jem to change his ability to judge right from wrong, and how to be a Southern Gentleman. These are connected because both talk about Jem and his morality. Jem is Scout’s (the main character) brother. They all live in Maycomb County. Jem realizes about the power of racism and how it plays a big role in Maycomb, and in African-Americans lives. It also changes how people see themselves,…

Mockingbirds do not do anything but good so why kill one? What bad do mockingbirds do? The symbol of the the mockingbird means innocent people that never harm anyone. It is also a sin to kill a mockingbird because of them doing no harm. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the three characters Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson, and Arthur “Boo” Radley represent mockingbirds by only doing good, never doing bad although they got into some situations where they could have. Mockingbird represent things…

I believe the song titled Just the Way You Are relates to the inner conflict in To Kill A Mockingbird. The inner conflict is when Atticus gets appointed to defend Tom Robinson in court and Atticus chooses to defend him willingly, and Scout in the beginning thinks very lightly on the situation and she doesn’t quite understand why Atticus is defending a colored person, she later realizes what Atticus is doing is right and she would like him to stay the way he is since he’s a great father. This…
