Fisheries Act

The use of laboratory toxicity tests to monitor industrial effluent discharges has become a common approach to estimating the potential for environmental effects in North America and Europe. Numerous schemes have been developed to characterize and assess potential toxic effects in aquatic receiving environments. The first regulatory application of Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) in Canada was within the 1992 Pulp and Paper Liquid Effluent Regulations, promulgated under the Fisheries Act. A second application of EEM in Canada was within the 2002 Metal...

The last include wet and dry deposition of particles and solutes and gas exchange across the air-sea interface. Because of proximity to source, coastal waters tend to be more polluted than the open ocean. A notable exception is the worldwide acidification of surface waters caused by CO2 emissions. Of all the coastal waters, estuaries tend to be the most impacted. This is due to high rates of pollutant loading and to natural processes that act to concentrate these pollutants in the local sediments and biota. This is most unfortunate as estuarine waters support the world s largest fisheries and are where recreation is concentrated. 

Under section 6 of the Medicines Act 1968, the Licensing Authority (LA) is the authority responsible for the grant, renewal, variation, suspension and revocation of licences and certificates. In 1971, the LA was constituted of a body of Ministers consisting of the Secretary of State for Social Services, the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Secretary of State for Wales, the Minister of Health and Social Services for Northern Ireland, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Minister of Agriculture in Northern Ireland. 

The Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) of 1976, as amended, is the most significant fisheries legislation in the nation s 200-year history. It provides for the conservation and exclusive management by the U.S. of all fishery resource within the Fishery Conservation Zone or FCZ which extends 200 nautical miles from our shores. The land area equivalent to the U.S. FCZ is approximately 3.6 million square miles. It has afforded an unprecedented opportunity for U.S. commercial and recreational fishermen to reach new levels of production and to expand further their already significant contributions to the nation s food supply and economy. 

ACE inhibitory peptides have been separated from the skin of skate by Lee et ah (2011). The purified peptides showed IC50 values of 95 and 148 M, respectively, for both peptides isolated from the skin of skate. Further, Lineweaver-Burk plots indicated that the peptides act as noncompetitive inhibitor against ACE. Recently, many inhibitory peptides against ACE are reported (Table 15.2) as natural alternative biofunctional peptides that are safer than that of the existing artificial ACE inhibitory compounds in the market that show some side effects. Various peptides have been isolated from seafood by-products from the fisheries industry such as backbones from tuna (Lee et al., 2010). Tuna backbone has hydrolyzed using various proteases such as alcalase, a-chymotrypsin, neutrase, papain, pepsin, and trypsin to obtain an antioxidant peptide (Je et ah, 2007).

Tank Water from Fisheries.—One ton of fish will give from 1,500 to 2,500 lb. of tank water, having a density of from 4 to 5°B6. This liquor is usually concentrated to about 23°B6. in multiple-effect evaporators of the horizontal type, having a capacity of from 1M to 1 >2 gal. per square foot, with a steam pressure of 5 lb. and a vacuum of 26 in. the liquor acts practically the same as packinghouse tank water, and the same type of evaporator is used for this purpose. 

The main authority for regulation of pesticides in Canada resides in two Acts of Parliament, the Pest Control Products Act, administered by Agriculture Canada, and the Food and Drugs Act, administered by Health and Welfare Canada. This dichotomy of authority necessitates close cooperation between the two departments. In addition, various other acts address such aspects as water quality, fisheries, wildlife, etc., with respect to pesticides. 

The Licensing Authority is advised by expert committees, appointed by ministers, as advised by the Medicines Commission under Section 4 of the Medicines Act. These advisory committees consist of independent experts, such as hospital clinicians, general practitioners, pharmacists and clinical pharmacologists, not the staff of the DoH, and are appointed by ministers on the advice of the Medicines Commission. The relevant advisory committees since 1971 have been the Committee on Safety of Medicines (CSM), the Committee on Review of Medicines (CRM), the Committee on Dental and Surgical Materials (CDSM), the British Pharmacopoeia Commission (BPC) and the Veterinary Products Committee, which is administered through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries (MAFF). 

Under the guidelines for the Clean Water Act, such a finding would have required denial of the landfill permit, for that act requires denial of a landfill permit if a project will cause significant degradation of United States waters, including significantly adverse effects on fishery. 

Whereas depreciation applies to assets that can be replaced, depletion applies to natural resources, which when removed for processing disappear forever, or are only renewed by nature over a period of many years. Depletion is applicable to fisheries, forests, mineral deposits, natural gas wells, oil deposits, orchards, quarries, vineyards, etc. The U.S. federal government permits those using natural resources a depletion allowance, which acts like depreciation as an expense against sales revenue. Two methods are used to calculate the annual depletion allowance cost (or factor) depletion and percentage depletion.
