Harry Payne Bingham, a graduate of Yale and a New York City businessman, sponsored 3 oceanographic expeditions for fish and invertebrate specimens for his own private research collection.
We estimated a set of econometric models based on a random utility maximization process to forecast how changes in the immediate circumstances (economic, biological, climatic and oceanographic) impact voluntary fishing choices via the personal costs and benefits of various decisions.
Such close relationships between oceanographic current systems and fish species distributions presumably reflect temperature preferences, because differences between the Kuroshio Current and the China Coastal Current can range from 6 to 11°C ([ 70], Figure 5a).
Fishing pressure and oceanographic stress from upwelling or sea surface temperature anomalies are low in comparison with neighboring Tabuaeran and Kiritimati in the same biogeographic region (Fig. 1; also see Table 1 and Supplemental Data S1 for a detailed summary of anthropogenic and oceanographic conditions in the region).
Migratory patterns of fish are related to oceanographic factors and to currents.
They will also conduct oceanographic surveys aimed at identifying productive fishing grounds.
The National Marine Bioregionalisation of Australia [5] included a benthic bioregionalization based on bathymetry, data on demersal fish, sponges and sediments, and oceanographic data.
Data on bathymetry, demersal fish, sponges and sediments, and oceanographic data, were used to identify a suite of unique seafloor bioregions comprising 41 provinces, three depth-related biomes on the continental slope, and geomorphic units that represent clusters of geomorphic features around the EEZ.
In the Baltic Sea, biophysical models of dispersal have been used to explore patterns of growth, mortality and recruitment of herring cod and sprat (e.g. Bartsch et al. 1989; Hinrichsen et al. 2005) but no attempts have been made to test for a link between oceanographic circulation and genetic divergence in Baltic Sea fish populations.
The archive had its beginnings in the transfer of the fish collections at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to the Museum of Comparative Zoology in the late 1970s.
