The movement of organisms from place to place (e.g. among marine reserves) through dispersal or migration.
Industry:Fishing
Small, usually microscopic plants drifting in the upper layers of the ocean, consuming nutrients and light energy to produce biomass. In particularly nutrient-rich conditions (including eutrophication) phytoplankton blooms may occur and can be toxic.
Industry:Fishing
The weight of the whole fish before processing or removal of any part.
Industry:Fishing
Horizontal habitat located from about 40 to 500 meters. Insular habitats on or above the deep shelf consisting of horizontal or nearly horizontal natural typographic features interrupting a steeper slope and often occurring in a series. These habitats extend seaward from the shelf of an island or bank.
Industry:Fishing
The areas which supplies water by surface and subsurface flow from rain to a given point in the drainage system.
Industry:Fishing
Mathematical representation of the way a stock of fish responds to the removal of its individuals (for example by fishing). In fisheries, usually represented by a relationship between yield and/or catch per unit effort (CPUE) and fishing effort or mortality.
Industry:Fishing
Floating organisms whose movements are more or less dependent on currents. While some zooplankton exhibit active swimming movements that aid in maintaining vertical position, plankton as a whole are unable to move against appreciable currents.
Industry:Fishing
La scienza per misurare le profondità oceaniche e determinare la topografia del fondo marino.
