Biodiversity study of Southern Biscayne Bay and Card Sound 1968-1973

A multi-disciplinary investigation was conducted in southern Biscayne Bay and Card Sound from 1968 to 1973. The purpose of the investigation was to conduct an integrated study of the ecology of southern Biscayne Bay with special emphasis on the effects of the heated effluent from the Turkey Point fossil fuel power plant, and to predict the impact of additional effluent from the planned conversion of the plant to nuclear fuel. The results of this investigation have been discussed in numerous publications. This report contains the unpublished biology data that resulted from the investigation. (PDF contains 44 pages)

¿Puede la gestión del conocimiento influir en los resultados empresariales?

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la influencia de la gestión del conocimiento en los resultados empresariales. En primer lugar, se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura, que ha permitido establecer las dimensiones más comunes de la gestión del conocimiento y de los resultados, para su posterior medición. Se han tomado como dimensiones de la gestión del conocimiento: la creación; el almacenamiento y la transferencia; y la aplicación y uso del conocimiento. La adquisición de información, la diseminación de ésta y la interpretación compartida se han utilizado como medidas para la creación de conocimiento. Asimismo, se han utilizado como medidas de la aplicación y uso del conocimiento, el empowerment, el trabajo en equipo y el compromiso con el conocimiento. Como dimensiones de los resultados se han utilizado resultados operativos, financieros y de innovación. La metodología utilizada se basa en el estudio del caso, a través de datos primarios y secundarios. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la gestión del conocimiento influye en los resultados tanto operativos, como financieros y de innovación. De este modo, las empresas analizadas que tienen un mayor grado de gestión del conocimiento, a través del trabajo en equipo, incremento del empowerment, flexibilización en la toma de decisiones y una visión global de la empresa, entre otras prácticas, obtienen mayores resultados, tanto operativos, como financieros y de innovación.

Improving coastal livelihoods through sustainable aquaculture practices in Hon Mun marine protected area, Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam: a report to the collaborative APEC Grouper Research and Development Network

This case study describes the present status and trends, and provides recommendations for the improvement of aquatic resources management within Hon Mun Marine Protected Area (MPA), Nha Trang Bay, Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. The case study also evaluates options for improving the livelihoods of local villagers through the development of ecologically sustainable aquaculture and fisheries, which include diversification following careful selection and trial of appropriate culture species, and application of “best practice” culture methods.

Cetaceans of Venezuela: Their distribution and conservation status.

Sighting, stranding, and capture records of whales and dolphins for Venezuela were assembled and analyzed to document the Venezuelan cetacean fauna and its distribution in the eastern Caribbean. An attempt was made to confirm species identification for each of the records, yielding 443 that encompass 21 species of cetaceans now confirmed to occur in Venezuelan marine, estuarine, and freshwater habitats. For each species, we report its global and local distribution, conservation status and threats, and the common names used, along with our proposal for a Spanish common name. Bryde’s whale (Balaenoptera edeni) is the most commonly reported mysticete. The long-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus capensis) is the most frequent of the odontocetes in marine waters. The boto or tonina (Inia geoffrensis) was found to be ubiquitous in the Orinoco watershed. The distribution of marine records is consistent with the pattern of productivity of Venezuelan marine waters, i.e., a concentration at 63°07′W through 65°26′W with records declining to the east and to the west. An examination of the records for all cetaceans in the Caribbean leads us to conclude that seven additional species may be present in Venezuelan waters. (PDF file contains 61 pages.)

Evaluación del uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (tic) en el ámbito universitario

Este artículo dice que gracias a las TIC se abre un amplio ámbito de actuación fuera del sistema educativo no tradicional, el cual tendremos que diseñar y desarrollar desde los parámetros didácticos y formativos. En éstos nuevos espacios tecnológicos, los estudiantes y los profesores tienen que revisar sus roles y funciones para desarrollar con efectividad sus actividades y mutuamente reforzar los beneficios que se generen. Para poder tener una visión completa del impacto de las TIC en el ámbito global universitario es necesario extender éste estudio a estudiantes de diferentes años académicos, así como al conjunto de los tres Campus que constituyen la Universidad de País Vasco(UPV/EHU).

Lage und Entwicklung ausgewählter Fischbestände. Einschätzung des ICES im Oktober 2001

During the autumn session of the ICES Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management (ACFM) the stock of the Northern and Southern Shelfs, North Sea and Skagerrak have been analysed and assessed, as well as the mackerel and horse mackerel, sardine, anchovy, Pandalus and Eel. As in previous years ICES recommends a reduction in fishing mortality for a number of stocks. Moreover, ICES recommends for many stocks to establish recovery and management plans, to safeguard a continuous development of the stocks towards safe biological limits.

Fisheries laws and regulations of Nigeria and room for further developments

The fisheries laws and regulations presently operative in Nigeria are on marine waters. These include: 1) The Sea Fisheries Decree (Act) of 1971; 2) The Sea Licencing Regulations of 1971; 3) The Sea Fisheries (Fishing) Regulations of 1972; and 4) The exclusive Economic Zone Decree of 1978. Attempts have also been made to produce the Inland waters Fisheries Regulation

Chemosensory response of marine flagellate towards L- and D- dissolved free amino acids generated during heavy grazing on bacteria

This study investigated the generation of dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) by the bacterivorous flagellate Rhynchomonas nasuta when feeding on abundant prey. Specifically, it examined whether this flagellate protist exhibits a chemosensory response towards those amino acids. The concentrations of glycine and the and D-enantiomers of glutamate, serine, threonine, alanine, and leucine were determined in co-cultures of the flagellate and bacteria. Glycine, L- and D-alanine, and L-serine were found to accumulate under these conditions in amounts that correlated positively with flagellate abundance, suggesting that protists are involved in their generation. Investigations of the chemotactic response of young and old foraging protists to the same amino acids, offered in concentrations similar to those previously generated, showed that glycine elicited the strongest attraction in both age groups. Young protists were strongly attracted to all the assayed amino acids, whereas older protists maintained a high level of attraction only for glycine. These results suggest that glycine generated by protists actively grazing in bacterially enriched patches functions as an infochemical, signaling to foraging protists the presence of available prey in the aquatic environment.
