Fisheries management

cod fish will shape our present and future actions. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief chronological history of the cod fishery starting with the series of events leading to the fisheries collapse. Fallowed by the ecological and life history impacts of the crash. Ending with conversation on present conservation efforts. Brief History of the Cod Fishery…

recreational activities. MPAs can serve a multitude of purposes that target specific needs of the marine ecosystem in that area. Despite this, some fisheries criticize MPAs because MPAs place pressure on fishing agencies by restricting areas from extraction (Hilborn 2016). It is possible that the benefits of MPAs may outweigh the inconveniences caused to local fisheries. Without MPAs to enforce fishing regulations, it is possible that overfishing may occur.

Dr. Matthew Ogburn focused his research on two kinds of river herrings, the Alewife and the Blueback Herring. The present research concentrates mainly on this species as it has drastically suffered a decline in existence as well as becoming endangered species. Thus, for this reason they are the module species in this investigation. River Herrings are known species to spawn in fresh water but live most of their lives in the ocean. They are also known to migrate between freshwater and ocean water…

These days, a mounting number of fish is caught in almost countries in the world. This phenomenon has become a matter of considerable public awareness. In my perspective, this problem can be attributed to two probable causes. In this essay, I will examine this issue and give some possible solutions. One plausible explanation for overfishing is profit-oriented of large fishing companies. Because of their lucrative target, the prominent mass fishing recent years caused biological imbalance. In…

United States today, with a population of 318.9 million and only increasing, the demand for seafood has never been greater (United States Census Bureau). Subsequently, fishermen are catching more and more fish from the oceans due to many ocean fisheries being “open access”, meaning fishermen can fish all they want with no limits and earn more money. This quickly leads to overfishing, which occurs when fishing activities deplete the population of fish to unsustainable levels, meaning fish are…

Baleen whales undergo the longest annual migrations of any animal (Rice and Wolman 1971, Stone et al. 1990, Rasmussen et al. 2007). The function has generally been accepted as an evolutionary response to the need to feed in colder waters and reproduce in warmer waters (Corkeron and Connor 1999, Learmonth et al 2006). The location of feeding and breeding grounds along migration routes were initially inferred from stomach contents of stranding data and whaling logs (e.g., MacKintosh 1945, Scammon…

The effects of the dying cod population in New England In the Northeastern United States the population of cod is decreasing, and causing fishermen to adapt to different species of seafood or end their fishing career. Since the turn of the century the amount of cod in the waters between Nova Scotia and Massachusetts has decreased by over 75% (Horowitz,2015). This decrease has been blamed on the strong fishing community in the Northeast, overfishing being the main reason. Due to this, several…
