This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes major shortcomings in the implementation of U.N. General Assembly resolutions designed to protect the deep-ocean from the destructive impact of fishing. This is the first comprehensive scientific review of the mgmt. of deep-sea fishing on the high seas globally, this report examines the data available from Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMOs), the bodies tasked with implementing the U.N. resolutions. It concludes that ¿RFMOs are failing to manage deep-sea bottom fisheries on the high seas sustainably with respect to target and by-catch species. For most fisheries there is little or no info. on the status of stocks and in many cases we do not even know what is being caught where." Illus. A print on demand report.

Download or read book Conservation by Proxy written by Tim Caro and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast scope of conservation problems has forced biologists and managers to rely on "surrogate" species to serve as shortcuts to guide their decision making. These species-known by a host of different terms, including indicator, umbrella, and flagship species-act as proxies to represent larger conservation issues, such as the location of biodiversity hotspots or general ecosystem health. Synthesizing an immense body of literature, conservation biologist and field researcher Tim Caro offers systematic definitions of surrogate species concepts, explores biological theories that underlie them, considers how surrogate species are chosen, critically examines evidence for and against their utility, and makes recommendations for their continued use. The book clarifies terminology and contrasts how different terms are used in the real world considers the ecological, taxonomic, and political underpinnings of these shortcuts identifies criteria that make for good surrogate species outlines the circumstances where the application of the surrogate species concept shows promise Conservation by Proxy is a benchmark reference that provides clear definitions and common understanding of the evidence and theory behind surrogate species. It is the first book to review and bring together literature on more than fifteen types of surrogate species, enabling us to assess their role in conservation and offering guidelines on how they can be used most effectively.

Book Synopsis Land Snails of British Columbia by : Robert G. Forsyth
Download or read book Land Snails of British Columbia written by Robert G. Forsyth and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Snails and slugs have a reputation as slimy, repulsive creatures that are nothing more than garden pests, but they are important components of the ecosystems they live in. In fact, most of the pest slugs and snails are introduced species that have come here with the plants we import for our gardens. Worldwide there are more species of snails and slugs than all the mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians combined, yet they are often overlooked because of their relatively small size. Land snails and slugs are well adapted to live in almost any kind of environment, from high arctic tundra to tropical forests. In British Columbia, they can be found just about everywhere. Land Snails of British Columbia describes all 92 species of terrestrial molluscs in our province. It includes photographs and detailed drawings of each, diagnostic keys and a selection of colour photographs to aid in identification. With each species description, the author discusses its natural history and distribution in the province. He also talks about reproduction, life history, diet, locomotion and shell structure (even slugs have shells). Nature buffs and anyone interested in looking past the bad reputation of these much-maligned creatures will find this handbook an enlightening guide. For gardeners, this book will tell you which snails to cast out of your garden and which ones to keep, because some snails and slugs are beneficial to gardens and some even prey on their pestilent relatives."--

Book Synopsis FISHES GULF MAINE ED 3E by : Collette Bb
Download or read book FISHES GULF MAINE ED 3E written by Collette Bb and published by Smithsonian. This book was released on 2002-06-17 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years in the making, this updated edition raises the high standard of Bigelow and Schroeder's 1953 reference by drawing from a much larger base of information. Thirty-eight experts in fisheries biology and ichthyology clearly distill the enormous amount of knowledge gained during the past fifty years, including distribution figures from thirty years of annual trawl surveys; food habit accounts from surveys of the stomach contents of more than 30,000 fishes; and egg distribution data from a survey exceeding 10,000 samples. The contributors update Bigelow and Schroeder's 1953 material while presenting a wealth of new information, including thirty-three additional species accounts. By adding fifty percent more material and focusing the volume on data, the editors address the needs of today's biologists, the commercial fishing industry, and marine enthusiasts, and ensure that Bigelow and Schroeder's Fishes of the Gulf of Maine, Third Edition, will become the standard work in the field for the next fifty years.
Book Synopsis A Numeric Scoring Matrix for Use in the Rapid Assessment of Extinction Vulnerability of Marine Fish Species in the NAFO Regions 4VWX, 5Zc by : Terry L. Johnston
Download or read book A Numeric Scoring Matrix for Use in the Rapid Assessment of Extinction Vulnerability of Marine Fish Species in the NAFO Regions 4VWX, 5Zc written by Terry L. Johnston and published by St. Andrews, N.B.. : Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk ( 1996) and the Species at Risk Act (2003) arc initiatives of the Federal government that were established to provide protection and recovery for species at risk in Canada. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) is the primary source of information and expertise concerning the assessment of extinction vulnerability of aquatic species. The Mari times Region of DFO is responsible for compiling biological information concerning status and potential extinction risk of marine fish species that support fisheries along the Scotian Shelf, northern Georges Bank, and in the Bay of Fundy. Given the breadth and importance of this task, it is necessary that a method for rapid analysis be developed that allows for the assessment of potential extinction vulnerability of fish species, and uses assessment criteria that are explicitly defined and relevant to marine species in Canada. The approach undertaken by the Maritimes Region was to develop a scoring matrix that (1) quantifies the dynamics of a species' abundance and distribution and allows for rapid determination of whether or not that species may be at risk of extinction, and (2) allows for easy comparison across taxa thrnugh standardization of scoring. The intention behind the matrix was to create a more intuitive ranking scheme than has been used in the past. The potential extinction vulnerability of each species is graded out of 100. A high score represents a relatively high risk of extinction or extirpation from Canadian waters. Species assigned high scores by this rapid process can then be subjected to further, indepth evaluation. The criteria and conditions for the matrix were derived from criteria used by COSEWIC, and DFO's General Status Pilot Project. However, a new set of conditions were developed for some criteria to address several of the deficiencies that existed in the General Status approach, and to accentuate factors that may of greater significance to extinction vulnerability than to the assessment of current abundance. This exercise was intended to test the validity and utility of a matrix approach for rapid assessment of extinction vulnerability and ease of comparison among species. The matrix is not intended to replace the formal assessment process, but to identify species that may need higher priority for a formal COSEWIC assessment. A prioritized candidate species list was created based on the results of the matrix analysis

Book Synopsis Marine Mammals by : Peter G.H. Evans
Download or read book Marine Mammals written by Peter G.H. Evans and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of marine mammal science has made enormous strides in the last ten years as well as attracting a large amount of interest, due no doubt to the public appeal of whales, dolphins, and seals, which are never out of media attention. The purpose of this book is to review key topics through chapters on the major disciplines from invited authorities around the world. Subjects covered include evolution and genetics, life histories, ecology, physiology, behaviour, medicine (diseases, parasitology), survey methodology, and all the main conservation issues (pollution, fisheries interactions, and sound disturbance). The book has an ecological and conservation emphasis since these are subject areas calling for the most attention in the modern world, but other areas such as evolution, physiology, and medicine are also given in-depth treatment. The book is written at the level of the undergraduate or above, although its style should appeal to anyone with a serious interest in marine mammal science.

Marine Resources Service and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1994 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides a review, commentary and tabulations of the main trends that have occurred in exploitation of fisheries resources since the 1970s, largely as they are reflected in the FAO database on fishery landings, supplemented with selected information from the fishery literature. Reviews were prepared separately for the 15 main areas into which FAO divides the world's oceans for statistical purposes. They are then compared from a global perspective to reveal relative trends by species and areas, which are highlighted. Several special topics are reviewed, including tuna and tuna-like species, whales and dolphins, and environmental issues in fisheries.
