FISH PRODUCTION -
MODELING

The aim of this investigation is to consider commercial fishing in a particular country in two different environments, that is from the sea and a fish farm (aquaculture).
The following data provided below was taken form the UN Statistics Division Common Database. The tables gives the total mass of fish caught in the sea, in thousands of tones (1 tone = 1000 kilograms). Year | 1980 | 1981 | 1982 | 1983 | 1984 | 1985 | 1986 | 1987 | 1988 | Total Mass | 426.8 | 470.2 | 503.4 | 557.3 | 564.7 | 575.4 | 579.8 | 624.7 | 669.9 |

Year | 1989 | 1990 | 1991 | 1992 | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | Total Mass | 450.5 | 379.0 | 356.9 | 447.5 | 548.8 | 589.8 | 634.0 | 527.8 | 459.1 |

Year | 1998 | 1999 | 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | Total Mass | 487.2 | 573.8 | 503.3 | 527.7 | 566.7 | 507.8 | 550.5 | 426.5 | 533.0 | Table1. – The total mass of fish caught from 1980-2006

From the presented data, it is shown that in some years the amount of fish caught rises and on others the amount of fish caught in the sea decreases. The reason of the amount of fish to decrease can be influenced by ecological factors and weather phenomena’s or even the amount of fishermen on the particular area in the sea.
Identifying variables: let y stand for the amount of fish caught from the sea and x stands for the years passed. It shows yx=amount of fish caught, so e.g. y1980=426.8.
The set of possible values of the variable on the horizontal axis is called the domain. Therefore {x | 1980 < x ≤ 2006} is the domain of the amount of fish caught.
The set which describes the possible y-values is called the range. Therefore the range of the fish caught is the total mass of fish from the sea.

From the data presented in Table1. it

    Some around the world enjoy eating a lot of food; they try to discover some new food from the different countries. Sushi is one kind of food to make people like to eat; it is a famous food in Japan and around the world: America, China, and the others. Sushi has some ingredients: rice, seaweed sheets, seafood, vegetables, and tropical fruit sauce. However Bluefin tuna sushi is the best to make some like the most. As a result, at this time some want to have more Bluefin tuna so that over ten hundred of thousand dollars people can buy a Bluefin tuna (Richardson). Since the high demand and price have stimulated, some fishermen work hard to catch more and more Bluefin. What is the happening? The overall ecosystem and economy the world are influenced…

    Iris wants to graph the invasive snail population to show the city council. Justify what the appropriate domain and range would be for the function f(x), what the y-intercept would be, and if the function is increasing or decreasing. F(x) = 150(1 + .5)x Let’s plug in some values for x! Earlier Iris mentioned that she observed the snail’s growth for 15 years. So we can graph the population of the snails for all 15 of those years using the exponential function we made earlier. Starting at year 0, and ending at year 15. F(0) = 150(1 + .5)0 F(0) = 150(1.5)0 F(0) = 150(1) F(0) = 150 This means that at year 0, or the beginning, the snail population was 150. Now all we have to do is the same thing for year 1 to year 15. These should be our results: F(0) = 150 F(1) = 225 F(2) = 337 F(3) = 506 F(4) = 759 F(5) = 1139 F(6) = 1708 F(7) = 2562 F(8) = 3844 F(9) = 5766 F(10) = 8649 F(11) = 12974 F(12) = 19461 F(13) = 29192 F(14) = 43789 F(15) = 65684 What those mean is after 15 years [f(15)], the population of invasive snails is 65, 684. Now that we know what these represent and their values we can start to set their ordered pairs and plot them on a coordinate plane. These are the ordered pairs: (0, 150) (1, 225) (2, 337) (3, 506) (4, 759) (5, 1139) (6, 1708) (7, 2562) (8, 3844) (9, 5766) (10, 8649) (11, 12974) (12, 19461) (13, 29192) (14, 43789) (15, 65684) The domain for this function would be 0≤x≤15 and the range for this function is 150≤y≤65684. The y-intercept of this function is…

    The questions begs a valid point and presents the challenges in the article and the Global Fishing Industry. It is evident in the case that there it has taken a significant amount of time for the notion of responsible fishing techniques. In the 50’s when the global fishing industry started picking up speed and the “Commons” precedent started taking effect with everyone trying to fish the maximum they can in order to maximize their immediate profit. It took almost three decades for communities to start feeling and exploring the effects of this overfishing and there was a need for organizations government and non-government to start looking into the disconcerting statistics.…

    Others argue that fishing industries should continue as they do now. Fishing industries provide multiple job opportunities, the fishing industries have a large variety of jobs from fishing to tinning. New skills are earned from working at a fishing industry, also providing experiences to write in their resume (Connect Us Fund 1). This provides more sources of income, providing more tax money to the government, then helping the economy (Connect Us Fund 1). Industrial fishing companies have provided wider access to cheap seafood, then increasing the amount of people that want to include fish in their diets (Slow Food 43). Since seafood serves as a primary source of protein, it is commonly healthier and has more nutritional benefits than other…

    Fishing dates back to nearly forty thousand years ago as one of the earliest forms of finding food. Ancient people used hand gathering, spearing, netting, angling and trapping as techniques to catch fish. Humans all around the world continue to rely on fishing as their main source of food. Because of the vast availability of fish, fishing is readily available to anyone near a body of water. Most people can easily reach water because it makes up seventy-one percent of the earth. Commercial anglers are the only people who can legally sell their fish while sport and recreational anglers fish for fun or food purposes. Even though fish is the main target for most fishers, fishing also consists of…

    In order to see an increase in the fish population in the ocean we should definitely take the next few steps in order to see that change. We need to create more areas where fishing is illegal and prohibited. This alone will make all the difference. If they are limited to being able to fish at all then there will be a decline in the fishing activity overall. This has to be the most important change that needs to be made in order to increase fish stock. To determine which areas should be designated as “No Catch Zones” there should be many oceanographers (often referred to as marine scientist). This is so that they can work together to determine where the fish breed, the area of the breeding ground and the temperature of the water in which they do breed. Doing all of this ensures that the correct spots will be declared “No Catch Zones” This will protect the species during breeding giving them the proper time to actually breed and are able to reproduce to increase their population. Next, we…
