Fishing resources

Don t eat fish caught by friends. Local waters can be highly contaminated even if your friends assure you they know what they re doing. To research local waters www.epa.gov/waterscience/fish. Additional fish resources ... 

Total number of aliens in the Sea of Azov comprised 46 species. When analyzing the ecological role of species-invaders in the Sea of Azov, one should first mention the enormous negative effect at all the levels of its ecosystem, fish resources included, caused by the invasion of the predator ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. 

Another important sphere of development of the Aral Sea was connected with the study and use of its fish resources. In the 1930s fish catches were about 40-50 thousand tons a year. The opening in 1929 of the Aral Research Fishery Station facilitated hydrobiological and ichthyologic investigations that were conducted by... 

Lower dose treatments, often referred to as pasteurization doses, have shown much more promise. In particular, doses sufficiently low to cause no significant odor and flavor change in the food are adequate to eliminate the hazards to health associated with salmonella and nematode contamination. For example, the irradiation of frozen meat, whole egg and egg products used in baking, and high protein animal foodstuffs is under active investigation as a means of elimination of salmonellae. At the moment, however, this cannot be classed as an industrial application, since only a few tons have been irradiated in pilot experiments.The shelf-life of white fish kept on ice has been considerably extended by small doses of radiation, and in the United States a full-scale plant for the irradiation of fish has recently been completed. Fish remain an underused protein resource available for the underdeveloped countries, and a big expansion in fish consumption is likely if the world s protein requirements are to be met. Inevitably, the development of fish resources must go hand in hand with satisfactory transportation in view of the relatively limited shelf-life... 

Commercial fishing takes place in the open sea, coastal and freshwater areas. Conservation programs and hatcheries to rebuild stocks play important roles in the management of fresh and saltwater fish resources.

Direct Uses of Geopressured Fluids. Many of the uses typical of hydrothermal energy, such as greenhouse, fish farm, and space heating, have been proposed for geopressured resources, but none has been commercially developed (34). Hydrothermal fluids are widely used in enhanced oil recovery, however, to increase production from depleted oil fields.

This, then, was the scene in which SCP projects were planned in Europe. The need for alternative foods and feedstuffs was clear and, in the UK and elsewhere, oil and gas seemed a plentiful and cheap resource from which to produce them. North Sea gas fields were being exploited and research had shown that natural gas or its derivatives could be used to produce SCP feed of superior protein content to conventional feedstuffs. The economics of such processes seemed very promising. In 1971 the European prices for fish meal and soya meal were 200 and 100 per ton respectively. In 1973 oil price rises and a failure in the Peruvian fish meal supply pushed these prices up to 550 and 300 respectively. With such prices for the major feedstuffs it was considered that SCP feeds could be produced competitively. 

The lEP provides the monitoring fi amework to characterize the status and trends of Delta aquatic ecosystems. The lEP strives to provide information on the many factors that affect ecological resorrrces in the Delta. Key near-term goals for the lEP include (1) collecting and analyzing data needed to understand factors controlling the distribution and abundance of selected fish and wildlife resources, (2)...

Past chlordane use, coupled with atmospheric transport as the major route of dissemination, produced global contamination of fish and wildlife resources and human populations. The chemical and its metabolites were frequently detected in all species examined, but usually at low concentrations. Residues in fish muscle sometimes exceeded the U.S. Food and Drug Administration action level of 0.3 mg/kg fresh weight recommended for human health protection. In general, chlordane in animals is highest near areas where the chemical has been applied to control termites concentrations are highest in fat and liver, especially in predatory species.
