Sorry--these are kind of messy, but you can get the basics I hope.

Notes

Spatial Distribution
• Water temp, currents->nutrients
• Hurts populations

How to stratify:
• Depth
• Water temp->related to lat/lon?
• Currents
• Ocean chemistry

Divide target areas into sections with similar currents, depth, and temp

Aquaculture--can fill in demand for fish that are needed but cannot be fished due to restrictions
• Needs coastal areas
• Disease--how do you prevent it?
• Prey fish easy to farm--they are usually schoolers and therefore more resistant to diseases
• Need to farm the whole food chain to make fish farming sustainable
• What about releasing prey fish into the wild--how would that change the natural biology?
• Intensive farming-on land ponds, etc prevents fish from escaping-all the effects can be controlled

Monitor what is happening to the fish populations-->plan can be modified to maximize results

Fishing areas occur along the boundaries of currents, where the temperature is right and there is a good supply of nutrients

Polar latitudes are the most susceptible to climate change

Find what else has happened during the spikes/drops
Get migration patterns--especially for bad stocks

Team Aquaculture needs ways to measure ocean currents, and climate

Remember--if there are already groups out there that

Notes by Isaac

  • Aquaculture could help goals by assisting in closed areas to maintain the same catches
    • Problems - diseases
      • Solved by antibiotics
    • Drawback: farm the prey fish instead of the predator fish is easier
    • But: Predatory fish possible in the future
      • By farming prey fish
      • Or by using substitutes

  • Climate change
    • Rapid climate change --> would cause negative consequences
    • Flexibility and monitoring instrumental in final plan
    • Robust --> necessary to maintain populations
    • Higher/lower latitudes --> most @ risk
  • Fish monitoring
    • Tagging
    • Sonar

----

  • To monitor climate
    • Use buoys that sink to a depth, that stay for 10 days, transmit data back
    • We need a unified way to asses data
  • No labels
