Then salmon populations crashed, and this year for the first time U.S. officials canceled all ocean salmon fishing off California and most of Oregon”(Tucker).

This leads us to ask, which is more environmentally sustainable; raising fish on a farm or catching wild fish? The introduction of aquaculture, with the intentions of relieving the ocean of commercialized fishing, quite…

commercial fisheries using long-line fishing techniques and to provide information so that a policy can be developed to alter the methods used to minimize the effect on the non-targeted species in Australian waters. Issue: Long-line fishing is a technique that is exceptionally non-selective. There are high amounts of by-catch being caught and these high numbers are avoidable. The by-catch is all of the non-target species that are caught on the lines. Due to these fishing methods many species…

At first, the Aral sea was a very plentiful hotspot for boating and fishing. Throughout the years, the sea has been decreased in size by 90 percent leaving a much smaller body of water very high in salinity.

The big question was, “How did it happen?” this is easily answered by “the impact of humans. Without…

Introduction Fishbanks Simulation is a resource management simulation created by Dennis L. Meadows. Teams play the roles of fishing companies in the simulation and compete with each other, dealing with the variations in fish populations and catches for the purpose of maximizing the net worth. Given three ships and same bank statement, each team has an equal start to make decisions about selling, bidding, and ordering ships, as well as the allocation of ships in harbour, coast, and deep sea.…
