Fishery

My determination to study aquatic and fishery science was started with the realization from my past, and it was my firm decision to walking through the right path. I was intrigued to study chemistry because I was astonished by vast and mysterious world of molecules in materials that are so much…

repopulating the ocean. An estuary is critically important to the overall health of the environment. Having a healthy fishery from a commercial stand point also adds to the economy. Tourism, fisheries and other commercial activities thrive. Within Volusia County’s portion of the IRL you will find the Intracoastal Waterway, harbors, industry, and a home to commercial and recreational fisheries. Boating, tourism and other recreational facilities also support economic activity that would be…

False Killer Whales versus Killer Whales Both Killer whales (Orcinus orca) and False killer whales (Pseudorca Crassidens) belong to the Delphinidae family. False killer whales resemble orcas because of the shape of their skulls, but the two species are actually not closely related (Baird, 2012). False killer whales are found in all tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate seas (MarineBio, 2013), usually in relatively deep offshore waters (Taylor, et al., 2008). In contrast, killer whales are…

requires people to go to college for four years, in fields such as Fisheries Science, Management and Law, Natural Resource or Wildlife Management. This allows one the ability to work with one's hands and be out of doors. This does take training in order to learn how to catch or handle animals properly and also learning to deal with criminals. Being a Game Warden requires people to receive their Bachelors degree in fields such as Fisheries Science, Management and Law, Natural Resource or…

sustainability. For this reason, the past “I didn’t know” excuse is no longer a justifiable one. Organizations like The Monterey Bay Aquarium and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration are building a firm argument for supporting sustainable fisheries around the world and here in the United States. By opposing tough regulations and rules…

fish, Nile perch was introduced to Lake Victoria in 1954 by the British colonialists and by 1970s there had been an increase in the fishing output from the lake, firstly observed in Nyanza , Kenya although this was at an expense ("Lake Victoria Fisheries: An Introduction", 2017). Nile perch turned out to be an invasive species by feeding one of the native species, haplochromine cichlids, thus reducing their numbers because the Nile perch population had already outnumbered its prey at this point…

alive to be able to replenish stocks for future years. It is human nature to try to make as much money as possible, but this has to be weighed against the economic hardship that whole communities have suffered as a result of overexploiting their own fisheries, not to mention the grave consequences of overfishing for fish…

The graduate schools I chose to analyze are State University of New York, Graduate School of Clemson, and Colorado State University. I chose these schools because they offer my program of study for a Master of Science degree in a field relate to Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. Evaluation Criteria Before I chose a graduate school, I needed to determine what my criteria was. My criteria is the location of the school, tuition…

NASA receives 3.5 times greater funding than the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), yet NOAA could help preserve the world. Amitai Etzioni discussed how the government should be more concerned about the ocean because it impacts the climate. Government funding should be put towards oceanic studies because people receive a lot of their food supply from the ocean. Finally, Etzioni discussed the amount of energy that could come from harnessing ocean currents. Etzioni has a great…
