Selectivity of flexible size-sorting grid in Mediterranean multispecies trawl fishery

ABSTRACT:   The demersal multispecies trawl fishery in the western Mediterranean Sea has a poor selectivity; large numbers of juvenile fish are caught when using the legislated 40-mm diamond mesh cod end. The selectivity of a flexible sorting grid with 20-mm bar spacing (BS20) installed in front the conventional trawl cod end was investigated. The standard covered cod end method was used. Data was adequate for analyzing the selectivity of European hake Merluccius merluccius , poor cod Trisopterus minutus , greater forkbeard Phycis blennoides and Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus . The selectivity of the 20-mm sorting grid was compared with the performance of 40-mm diamond (DM40) and square mesh (SM40) cod ends. The effect of a guiding funnel on the performance of the grid (BS20-f) was also explored. Finally, the potential changes in yield per recruit (Y/R) and biomass per recruit (B/R) after implementing a sorting grid were explored. An overall improvement in the 50% selection length ( L ₅₀ ) with all four species was substantial when comparing the BS20 to the DM40. Higher improvement in L ₅₀ s was achieved when the grid was equipped with the guiding funnel. When comparing the performance of the BS20-f to the SM40, there was no marked difference in L ₅₀ s. The Y/R and B/R, however, are substantially higher with BS20-f for poor cod and about the same for European hake. BS20 compared to SM40 achieved lower Y/R and B/R for all four species; the smallest difference was observed for Norway lobster. Further development is required if the sorting grid is to be introduced into commercial fisheries.     

湛江近海虾拖网虾蟹类渔获组成

在2012 年8 月进行的南海北部虾拖网海上调查的基础上,对虾蟹类渔获的种类组成、生物学特征和幼 体比例等进行了分析。结果显示,渔获种类一共71 种,其中虾蟹类15 种,但其产量却占总产量的82.34%;虾类优势 种为日本囊对虾（Marsupenaeus japonicus）、刀额新对虾（Metapenaeus ensis）、近缘新对虾（M. affinis）和周氏新对虾（M. joyneri）;蟹类优势种为红星梭子蟹（Portunus sanguinolentus）、三疣梭子蟹（P. trituberculatus）和远海梭子蟹（P. pelagicus）;刀额新对虾的幼虾比例为73.36%,三疣梭子蟹的幼蟹比例为78.79%。最后,探讨了促进南海虾蟹类资源 合理利用的措施。

Trawling for cephalopods off the Portuguese coast—Fleet dynamics and landings composition

Fleet dynamics was addressed for three cephalopod taxa of commercial interest, the squid Loligo vulgaris, the octopuses Octopus vulgaris and Eledone cirrhosa, and the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis, for 48 trawlers of the fish trawling fleet. Landing profiles (LP) were identified based on the species composition of the landings using hierarchical cluster analysis. Four out of a total of 12 different LP were related to cephalopods and other species associated with them.The effects on the landing proportions of a number of variables, year, season and vessel, are analysed for each of the species studied using generalized linear models (GLM). The factor “vessel”, including an ensemble of technical characteristics as well as the abilities of individual skippers, explained most of the model deviance, strongly reinforcing the existence of a fleet component dedicated to catch cephalopods. However, time also explains much of the variation found in the data.Seasonal alternation between landings of octopodidae and cuttlefish was observed within a small group of old trawlers operating mainly off the south coast, following the abundance cycles of these species. For a larger group of more modern trawlers, operating off the western coast, inter-annual shift between octopus and squid was found, together with a well marked seasonal pattern between the catches of cephalopods and horse mackerel.Spatial patterns of activity were identified using vessel monitoring system (VMS) data available for trawlers in Portugal, demonstrating the existence of cephalopod targeting strategies in Portuguese fish trawling activities.     

硇洲岛周围水域虾拖网虾渔获组成

根据2005年渔业资源监测船生产调查资料和现场取样数据,运用数理统计方法分析了虾拖网虾渔获组成、生物学特征以及月份变化等。结果表明:硇洲岛周围水域虾拖网捕获的虾类主要是沿岸性底栖虾类,渔获中优质虾种少,幼虾比例高,墨吉明对虾、日本囊对虾、哈氏仿对虾是虾拖网渔业的主捕虾种,虾渔获组成存在明显的月份变化。为合理利用虾类资源和促进虾渔业可持续发展,应根据虾类特性开发适宜广东沿海虾拖网的选择性捕捞技术,减少幼虾兼捕量。

板梁系斜桥的内力分析

板梁系是桥梁中常用的结构形式。本文根据板梁系的比拟板理论,用三次B样条函数之积来逼近挠曲面,在正交坐标系下,写出正交异性板的总势能。通过正交坐标系和斜交坐标系之间的变换,导出斜交坐标系下的总势能。然后再应用变分原理,在文献的基础上,利用现有的表格形成斜板单元的刚度方程。和通常有限元相比,本法具有计算量少,节省机时、提高精度等特点。 根据本文的刚度方程,编制了FORTRAN计算程序,在IBM微机上即可运行。计算成果与文献中的实例相当符合。由于本文采用了比拟板理论,所以不论板梁结构纵横梁的数目有多少,都可以用该程序计算。因此,该程序在实际使用上是很方便的,具有一定的通用性。
