Tidal oscillations at the head of Monterey Submarine Canyon and their relation to oceanographic sampling and the circulation of water in Monterey Bay. Annual report, Part 6, September 1972

During a 25-hour hydrographic times series at two stations near the head of Monterey Submarine Canyon, an internal tide was observed with an amplitude of 80 to 115 m in water depths of 120 and 220 m respectively. These large oscillations produced daily variations in hydrographic and chemical parameters that were of the same magnitude as seasonal variations in Monterey Bay. Computed velocities associated with the internal tide were on the order of 10 em/sec, and this tidally induced circulation may have a significant role in the exchange of deep water between Monterey Submarine Canyon and the open ocean.

Fischereiökonomische Forschung in Deutschland – Ergebnisse zur deutschen Fischereiflotte aus einem EU-Verbundprojekt

The economic situation of the German fishing fleet, economic indicators and backgrounds have been analysed in the overall framework of the EU-Concerted Action ‘Economic Assessment of European fishing fleets’. Trends in number of vessels, employment on board and catches for main target species are decreasing. This development may clearly be related to bad fish stock conditions, missing investment op-portunities for vessels and the short-term fishing quota man-agement system. To facilitate fisheries economics research a better data collection system is needed. As a consequence economic advice may be given for the development of a long-term sustainable management system.

Die europäischen Krabbenanlandungen der letzten Jahre: Deutschland Nr. 1

Fishery on brown shrimp has developed towards one of the most important fisheries in the North Sea area in economic terms. Statistical data on European wide landings have been gathered by a working group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea. They show relatively stable shares of approximately 50% for Germany, 38% for the Netherlands and 8% for Denmark. Further production originates from Great Britain, France and Belgium. The new log-book regulation of the EU will give similar data improved by better information on fishing areas and fishing effort.

Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland - einer der größten Nutzer der Weltfischereiressourcen

Die wahre Bedeutung der Einzelnen Länder hinsichtlich ihrer Rolle als Nutzer der Weltfischereiressourcen ergibt sich erst, wenn man die von der FAO herausgegebenen Jahrbücher über die "Fänge und Anlandungen" (catches and landings) und über die "Waren" (commodities) zu einem Ganzen zusammenfügt. Fischereiressourcen kann man als Land nutzen, indem man sie entweder selbst fängt oder sie im Ausland kauft und importiert oder beides tut. Fang und Import addiert, ergibt die Gesamtnutzung.
