Pesca experimental de atum com "long line" na ZEE moçambicana

Results of the analysis of statistical data gathered aboard 2 crafts licensed for experimental commercial tuna fishing with long-line in the EEZ of Mozambique are presented.

Programa de pesca experimental de atum com vara e isca viva. Moçambique - 1982/1985

An account is given of activities undertaken during the project, which was concerned with the development of tuna fisheries using rod and live bait, in Mozambique. Major tuna species present in the area are described, and fishing gear and methods used outlined, detailing also catch composition and live bait utilized.

Pesca de atum no indico: seu desenvolvimento recente e consequências para os Países da Subregião Sul Ocidental

In this study the author provided a synthesis of the most relevant aspects of fisheries in Mozambique and Indo-Pacific Region, discussed at the “Seminario sobre avaliaçāo de mananciais de atum na regiāo indo-pacifiqa-jacarta” held in Jakarta from 20 to 22 August 1984. Tens of documents belonging to the Department of Documentation and Information of the Fisheries Research Institute of Maputo and containing valuable information on the tuna fishing in Indo-Pacífic Region were studied in preparation of this seminar.

A pesca do atum no Oceano Indico do sudoeste

The tuna species of greatest interest to the countries of the southwest region of Indian Ocean are described. They are called mermas, small "coastal tunas". These fishes need a lot of food and oxygen, but have a limited tolerance for temperature variations. These are features commonly used in determining the possible areas of occurrence and also the most suitable type of fishing gear.

Recursos de atum nas águas de Moçambique

From 1976 to 1979 tunas of Mozambique were studied for about 40 months using seven research vessels. The main purpose of survey was not to study these resources therefore part of the information is poor and incomplete. During these three years, there were about fourteen months for experimental logline fisheries of deep-water tunas. This work corresponds to a bilateral cooperation program with USSR.

Modelo tectono-estrutural dos campos de petróleo Namorado, Cherne e Albacora

The main goal in this research is a tectono-estructural characterization of the Cherne, Albacora and Namorado Fields, located at Campos Basin, in order to investigate the relationship between the geologic evolution and the rock´s physical properties of the reservoir, and how they affect the hydrocarbon accumulation in those fields. Well correlations show that the inferior turbidites have a regional lateral continuity. Basic petrophysics analysis, calculated here, shows that the three fields present porosity values that range from 15 to 20%, shale volume range from 26 to 30% and formation water saturation range from 23 to 45%, based on formation water resistivity dada from Albacora Field. Petrophysics maps feature a trend in Albacora Field that increase the porosity values to SE, and in Cherne and Namorado Field the trend increase towards N. Seismic horizons where interpreted between the first appearance of the Namorado Sandstone and the top of Quissamã Formation. This interval presents normal listric faulting, in Cherne and Namorado Field with NWSE and NE-SW direction, and sedimentation trend to NW-SE, in Albacora Field the faulting presents a NNE-SSW and N-S direction, with a sedimentation trend to NE-SW. Seismic attribute maps present amplitude anomalies close to the producing wells, and on Namorado Field, it indicates a potential hydrocarbon accumulation in the NE region. For each field is indicated laboratory tests for a better characterization of the petrophysical properties, since that they don’t form the same reservoir level, therefore, not influencing the water saturation calculation

Aplicações do modelo presa-predador ao estudo da influência da dinâmica populacional de espécies de sardinha, cavala e atum e sobre o processo de eutrofização marinha

A discussion concerning marine eutrophication, possible generated from an imbalance of fish population is presented. Simulations through a code in FORCE 2.0 considering a predator-prey model have been made and the numerical results for a three different fish species were plot in ORIGIN code. The populations considered in this study were: Sardines being prey and both mackerel and tuna being the sardine’s predators. Some hipotheses concerning to the marine eutrophication have being made according to the stages of the dynamics of the system. For situations were the prey’s populationis very low, the quality of the water experiences a strong depreciation leading to a possible eutrophication of the water.
