Fishing techniques

A. Title The effect of type of net on reducing bycatch B. Introduction/Purpose “ Demand for seafood and advances in technology have led to fishing practices that are depleting fish and shellfish population around the world. Fishers remove more than 77 billion kilograms (170 billion pounds) of wildlife from the sea each year”( National Geographic 2015). The depletion of fish across the globe could lead to many economic and environmental issues if the amount of bycatch is not reduced…

In modern-day Scandinavia, people use the marine environment as an important part of their life. From large oil rigs to small fishing villages, Scandinavians uilizedt the marine environment that surrounds them. I know this quite well, from experience. My paternal grandmother was raised on a small island and fishing village off the cost of northern Norway, called Sommarøy, near Tromsø. Her father was a fisherman and her mother was a Sami from Finnmark, which also lived off the sea. From her, I…

Logging, agricultural practices, poor hatchery practices, commercial fishing, climate change, and pollution are just a few of hundreds of other reasons that have caused salmon to decline. Logging may not seem to have a large impact on salmon considering trees grow on land and anadromous fish live in water, but it does more…

put upon your hook, namely, your heart: when you bait your hook with your heart, the fish will always bite” (Burroughs 59). The fishing narratives of both Hemingway and Burroughs, are embedded with precision and praise of the natural world, and love of the art of fishing as they both wear their heart on their hook. Hemingway closely parallels Burroughs in many of his fishing narratives, and there is a particularly intimate connection between Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River” and Burroughs “Bed…

Every time I go to visit my grandparents in Florida we go fishing. We take their little boat out onto the salty sea and sit for a while. One of my best memories was when it was getting late and we were going to start heading home. But I hadn’t caught a fish yet, so I asked “Papa just one more minute”, he laughed and gave me that one more minute. Almost in an instant my bouy went underwater and I reeled in a giant silverfish. I have never seen him so proud. This day will forever stick in my head…

2011) Shark fin contains high levels of toxic mercury, which has been associated with infertility in several different studies. (Choy, 2002) An estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year due to this barbaric act, with industrial long-line techniques that are frighteningly efficient. (Randolph, 2013) The IUCN Shark Specialist Group released an eye opening report in January 2014 detailing what effect we have had on the shark population thus far, outlining that 74 different species of shark…

our performance. This is my evaluation for my performance in the show, class, and rehearsals. First, is my evaluation of my performance. My performance as a whole went well. There were few mistakes, but some parts could have looked better. The technique was great for the most part and looked clean. The timing was wrong in the first variation on Friday night. I think that I either went a little too fast , or too slow. My timing was off in the closing too. I went a little early on both night…

Have you ever heard the phrase “near-enemy” used before? No? Well, a near-enemy is when two things look very similar but are intrinsically different. I first read the phrase in a Louise Penny book, where she wrote about a woman who appeared compassionate and caring, but in fact wanted others to be totally helpless so they would need her. The woman seemed to have good intentions, but she was, in fact, hurting others so that she could receive gratitude from them. A near-enemy appears to be one…

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…

expel the tension in the tissue and restore comfortable movement. To preform this technique a PT will start by stretching out myofascial areas until the PT finds a barrier, or trigger point, that is stiff and inflexible (The Therapy Tree, 2016). Then, the PT will stretch that specific area and hold pressure for 90 to 120 seconds. There may be throbbing of the area before pressure is released. The object of this technique is not to break through the barrier; it is important to be gentle so not to…
