Good Catch : A Guide to Sustainable Fish and Seafood with Recipes From the World's Oceans - A Cookbook
A stunning and inspiring guide to selecting, preparing, and enjoying sustainable seafood, with 75 recipes, from a world-class spearfisherwoman. Growing up in Montreal, Valentine Thomas was not innately drawn to the water; in fact, it scared her. But later, dissatisfied with her work in corporate law and finance, she was introduced to a sport called spearfishing while on holiday in Ibiza. The ocean—which she had once feared—became her greatest passion, and she made fishing and diving her life's work. In Good Catch, Valentine shares her love for the bounty of waters around the world, as well as her enthusiasm and expertise for cooking fish and seafood in a sustainable way. The recipes, inspired by Valentine's favorite fishing destinations, are organized by region, and include both classic and creative preparations, such as Grilled Clams with Butter, Garlic, and Parsley, a Seafood Boil, Snapper Panzanella with Grapefruit, and Fish Head Nachos. Valentine also teaches readers the surprisingly simple skills they'll need to build a responsible repertoire of seafood recipes, provides tips for making the most eco-friendly choices, and discusses the best ways to prepare each and every type of fish, from raw dishes like ceviche to a baked whole fish. Illustrated by gorgeous photography of both the dishes and scenes from Valentine's dramatic dives, Good Catch is more than just a fish cookbook—it's an adventure into the world of delicious and sustainable seafood. Whether you are new to cooking fish or a seasoned pescatarian in search of more seafood cookbooks, Good Catch is sure to please!
Catch Efficiency and Economic Analysis for Traditional Fishing Gear (Troll Lines) Operated along the Coromandel and Gulf of Mannar Coasts (Southeast India)
This study evaluated the effects of three different J hook types, single hook no. 6, double hook no. 6, and triple hook no. 8, on catch rate, catch composition, and economics of two traditional troll-line methods used along the southeast coast of India. Traditionally, the hand-and leg-held troll line has been used in the Gulf of Mannar (GoM), and the outrigger boomheld method has been used on the Coromandel (CoM) coast. The studies were conducted at fortnightly intervals between June 2020 and January 2021. The overall catch rate (no. h⁻¹) was found to be highest with the double hook (0.6 fish h⁻¹) and lowest with the triple hook (0.04 fish h⁻¹) on the CoM coast, while the single hook (0.34 fish h⁻¹) and triple hook (0.02 fish h⁻¹) showed the highest and lowest catch efficiency along the GoM coast, respectively. The catch composition was constituted by Scomberomorus commerson (36%), Auxis thazard (18%), Euthynnus affinis (16%), Caranx ignobilis (13%), Thunnus albacares (9%), Scomberomorus guttatus (7%), Coryphaena hippurus (0.8%), and Istiophorus platypterus (0.2%) in the GoM, while it was Thunnus albacares (45%), Euthynnus affinis (18%), Auxis thazard (14%), Istiophorus platypterus (7%), Coryphaena hippurus (6%), Acanthocybium solandri (5%), Scomberomorus commerson (3%), and Caranx ignobilis (2%) on the CoM coast. The chi-square test showed a significant correlation between hook type and fish composition (X² = 9650.6, df = 16, p , 0.05). The current study demonstrated a net profit improvement of 3313 rupees/trip at GoM and 2093 rupees/trip at CoM. The benefit-cost ratio (B:C) for GoM and CoM was calculated to be 1.84 and 1.76, respectively.
Comparative Analysis of Changes in Fish Catches by Species and Sea Surface Temperature Change in Coastal Waters of the Republic of Korea
The Republic of Korea (South Korea) has a rich history of marine product acquisition through capture or aquaculture, given its location on a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. The ocean around Korea is influenced by the Kuroshio Current and Liman Current, resulting in a boundary of water masses that is rich in nutrient salts and plankton, making it an excellent fishing ground for warm and cold current fish species in the East Sea. However, over the past 50 years (1971-2021), the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in Korea's waters has risen by approximately 2°C, with a greater increase observed in the East Sea compared to the South and West Seas. As a result, the distribution and abundance of fish species have changed, with warm current fish such as squid, anchovies, and mackerel increasing in catch while cold current fish such as pollock and mackerel pike have decreased. In this study, trends in SST observed through satellite imagery are compared with changes in fish catches obtained from statistical data analysis. Additionally, seasonal seawater temperature and changes in fish catches by species are analyzed to predict the impact of future SST rise on fishing catches and inform appropriate policy decisions.
Catch
A unique and irresistible YA coming-of-age story about sixteen-year-old Beth, who discovers she has a life-saving gift. A superb novel about finding out what it takes to be an unlikely hero.Sometimes people fall. It happens. Sometimes people are pushed. Sometimes people jump. And sometimes there's someone there to catch them. The summer Beth turns sixteen, she grows. She grows so fast her bones hurt and she feels like throwing up. Everyone - including Etienne, the boy who lives over the road - looks at her differently. Then she starts catching people. People who are falling out of trees or from tall buildings. Soon Beth discovers that helping strangers sometimes hurts. Sometimes it also hurts or annoys the people she loves. It isn't great for her school grades, either. Is there a way to balance family and friendship and basketball and romance and... catching? An extraordinary story about finding out who you are, and discovering who you want to be.'Catch is a graceful exploration of what it means to hold others up while trying to find your own balance, and learning to trust yourself, even when the ground is shifting beneath your feet.'--Karys McEwen, Books+Publishing
Data and Management Strategies for Recreational Fisheries with Annual Catch Limits
Marine recreational fishing is a popular activity enjoyed by more than 9 million Americans annually and is a driver of the American ocean-or blue-economy. To ensure that fish populations are not overexploited, the NOAA Fisheries'Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) monitors recreational catch through a variety of in-person, telephone, mail-in, and other surveys. NOAA Fisheries'management of recreational catch also must take into account annual catch limits (ACLs) established to prevent overfishing for all managed species in federal waters. While MRIP has worked to improve recreational catch surveys over the past decade, the surveys were never designed to meet the demands of in-season management of ACLs. In some cases, estimates of harvest have triggered accountability measures such as early season closures and reductions in future recreational ACLs, which have been a source of contention with the recreational fishing community. This report presents approaches for optimizing MRIP data and complementary data for in-season management and considers alternatives for managing recreational fisheries with ACLs to better serve both social and economic management objectives.
Shadow Catch
Noh-influenced libretto by renowned Canadian poet Daphne MarlattThe Noh-influenced libretto of Shadow Catch recounts the dreams – or are they dreams? – of the Runaway, a teenage boy who ends up one night in Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Here four troubled spirits from the park's past appear to him: the Spirit of the Maple Tree from K'emk'emeláy̓ whose grove was decimated by loggers, a member of the brilliant Asahi baseball team whose players were sent off to Japanese internment camps, the keeper of a 1920s brothel who is haunted by the tragic death of one of'her'women, and a roughneck policeman from the 1930s who gave in to corruption. This is a story not only about characters from Vancouver's historical and cultural past, but about the journey and transformation that must take place in order to confront one's greatest fears and regrets.Each of the four acts in this sparse, poetic libretto were set to music by composers Dorothy Chang, Benton Roark, Jennifer Butler, and Farshid Samandari. Replete with contextual material, this book includes brief histories of species interconnectedness in the park, the Asahi baseball team, Vancouver's early red-light district, and the Battle of Ballantyne Pier.
Asian Industrial Hubs and Catch-up: The Case for Development Incubators
Contemporary industrial hubs evolved in East Asia after the 1950s and have been associated with the industrial catch-up of the East Asian economies and their industrial policies. This chapter has three main objectives: to depict the path of hub development in these pioneering economies and provide a synthesis of the East Asian experience; to extract relevant lessons for policymakers and practitioners; and to provide a perspective on how industrial hubs can synergize industrialization and technological catch-up. Although there are commonalities, experiences have been uneven across these economies with different stages of development. The experiences of the first-generation industrial hubs, namely Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Singapore, are reviewed, followed by China as the second generation. A synthesis, key observations, and conclusions are reviewed.
The Theory and Practice of Industrial Hubs and Economic Catch-up
Industrial hubs are at the centre of economic development. However, the literature on industrial hubs is fragmented and characterized by diverse conceptual and methodological approaches. This chapter provides a synopsis of the literature on the theory and practice of industrial hubs and economic development drawn from various intellectual traditions. The chapter also reviews critical themes drawn from structuralist development economics, focusing on industrial policy, structural transformation, and catch-up. The first section of this chapter will provide an outline of the fundamental approaches and issues. The second section will discuss historical perspectives on industrial hubs and economic agglomeration starting from the early days of the First Industrial Revolution. The third section will examine issues rooted in structural transformation, economic catch-up, and the connection between cluster dynamics and industrial policy framework. The fourth section will map empirical perspectives behind uneven global practices and outcomes and how industrial hubs can synergize industrialization and technological catch-up. The fifth section presents empirical synthesis and concluding notes.
Field-Level Classification of Winter Catch Crops Using Sentinel-2 Time Series: Model Comparison and Transferability.
Winter catch crops are promoted in the European Union under the Common Agricultural Policy to improve soil health and reduce nitrate leaching from agricultural fields. Currently, Member States often monitor farmers' adoption through on-site inspections for a limited subset of parcels. Because of its potential for region-wide coverage, this study investigates the potential of Sentinel-2 satellite time series to classify catch crops at the field level in Flanders (Belgium). The first objective was to classify catch crops and identify the optimal model and time series input for this task. The second objective was to apply these findings in a real-world scenario, aiming to provide reliable early-season predictions in a separate target year, testing early-season performance and temporal transferability. The following three models were compared: Random Forest (RF), Time Series Forest (TSF), and a One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN). The results showed that, with a limited field-based training dataset, RF produced the most robust results across different time series inputs, achieving a median F1-score of >88% on the best dataset. Additionally, the early-season performance of the models was delayed in the target year, reaching the F1-score threshold of 85% at least one month later in the season compared to the training years, with large timing differences between the models.
