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

    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…

    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…

    Whale fishing, also known as whaling, is a traditional fishing activity which existing thousands of years in the world. Fisherman fishing whales, sell of whale meat and oil to make money. With the development of modern fishing technology, industrial fishing gradually replaces a large number of private fishing activities, which made whaling easier and more efficient. Greenpeace International’s data showed “Commercial whaling during the last century decimated most of the world's whale populations. Estimates suggest that between 1925, when the first whaling factory ship was introduced, and 1975, more than 1.5 million whales were killed in total” (“Waling”). World Wildlife Fund stated that there is less than one hundred thousand whales remain in the world, and listed 7 out of the 13 great whale species as endangered animal. Which can proved that industrial fishing is the main reason lead whales endangered.…
