Fundamentals of Capture Fisheries Flashcards
Refers to all kinds of harvesting naturally occurring living resources in both marine and freshwater environments.
Capture Fisheries
True or False: when a fisherman harvests from a fish cage in marine waters, it is not capture fisheries because it is cultured and may be harvested artificially and it is classified under mariculture.
True
A discipline in oceanography that studies sediments and topography of the ocean floor and the processes involved in
their formation and changes, as well as the interpretation of maps.
Geological Oceanography
A discipline in oceanography that studies physical properties of seawater, such as temperature, salinity, density,
pressure, and transmission of electricity, light, and sound in the ocean.
Physical Oceanography
A discipline in oceanography that studies chemistry of seawater including dissolved substances and chemical
cycles in the ocean.
Chemical Oceanography
A discipline in oceanography that studies marine flora and fauna, their ecology and life cycles in the ocean.
Biological Oceanography
A discipline in Oceanography that studies development of technology for oceanic research and exploration.
Ocean engineering
A discipline in oceanography that uses application of social sciences such as economics, law, human behavior, and political science toward the use and management of the ocean.
Marine Policy
Is the science which deals with the study of the physical, chemical, geological, and biological features of the ocean.
Oceanography
Is the science which deals with the study of the physical, chemical, geological, and biological features of fresh waters
Limnology
An ocean zone closest to the shore and is covered in water during high tide and exposed to air during low tide.
Intertidal zone
An ocean zone that lies over the continental shelf and there are plenty of nutrients and sunlight.
Neritic zone
Part of the ocean zone that is the open ocean out past the continental shelf with nutrients that may be scarce and fewer organisms live in the zone.
Oceanic Zone
Part of the Ocean zones that at the top 200 meters of the water and has enough sunlight for photosynthesis.
Photic Zone
Part of the Ocean zones that at the below 200 meters of the water; has not enough sunlight for photosynthesis; and organisms eat plankton and other organisms that drift
Aphotic zone
It is the zone where ocean floor is located.
Benthic zone
