Status of the spawning biomass of the Pacific sardine, 1974-75

In order to initiate a fishery for the Pacific sardine, Sardinops sajax caeruleus, it is required that the spawning biomass be determined to have reached a minimum of 20,000 short tons. Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, night-light surveys, the anchovy bait fishery and jack mackerel purse seine fishery are analyzed for evidence of an increase in the population size. The present level of the spawning population of the northern stocks of sardines is determined to be far below the 20,000 tons required to initiate a fishery. (14pp.

Status of the spawning biomass of the Pacific sardine, 1978-79

State law requires that the population of Pacific sardines, Sardinops sagax caeruleus, must reach a minimum spawning biomass of 20,O0O short tons before initiation of a fishery. Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, the anchovy live bait fishery, sea survey cruises, and the jack mackerel purse seine fishery are analyzed for evidence of an increase in population size. Presently, the spawning biomass of the northern stock of sardines remains far below 20,000 tons. (9pp.

Status of the spawning biomass of the Pacific sardine, 1975-1976

In order to initiate a fishery for the Pacific sardine, Sardinops sajax caeruleus, it is required that the spawning biomass be determined to have reached a minimum of 20,000 short tons. Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, night-light surveys, the anchovy bait fishery, and jack mackerel purse seine fishery are analyzed for evidence of an increase in population size. The present level of the spawning population of the northern stocks of sardines is determined to be far below the 20,000 tons required to initiate a fishery. (11pp.

Status of the spawning biomass of the Pacific sardine, 1980-81

State law requires that the population of Pacific sardines, Sardinops sagax caeruleus, must reach a minimum spawning biomass of 20,000 short tons before initiation of a fishery. Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, the anchovy live bait fishery, sea survey cruises, and the mackerel purse seine fishery are analyzed for evidence of an increase in population size. Presently, the spawning biomass of the northern stock of sardines remains far below 20,000 tons. (9pp.

Status of the spawning biomass of the Pacific sardine, 1983-84

State law provides for the initiation of a fishery for Pacific sardines, Sardinops sagax caeruleus, when the spawning biomass of sardines reaches 20,000 short tons. Data from ichthyoplankton surveys, sea survey cruises, the mackerel fishery sampling program, and the live-bait fishery monitoring program are discussed with regard to an increase in population size. It appears that the spawning biomass of the northern stock of Pacific sardines remains below 20,000 tons. Legislation passed in 1983 which affects the incidental take and commercial use of sardines is also discussed. (9pp.

“My Heart Falters, Fear Makes Me Tremble” (Isaiah 21:4 NIV): Emotions and Prophetic Writings in the Bible

Emotions are an intricate part of what it means to be human. They are part of complex coping mechanisms installed by a Creator God whose own emotions are reflected in humanity’s creation in the imago Dei, the “image of God” (Gen. 1:27).1 Joy, exuberance, anticipation, pleasure, delight, and happiness, must have all been part of God’s original make-up of humanity, for they characterize our existence today. We also experience, however, anger, sadness, sorrow, fear, depression, dejection, misery, and fury—emotions that became part of our emotive repertoire following the Fall in Genesis 3.2 Unfortunately, we have traditionally ignored the study of emotions in biblical research. As Paul Kruger puts it, “Emotions were for a long time regarded as part of the irrational, uncontrollable, and subjective aspects of humankind that do not justify serious study.”3 And yet, emotions are well worth a closer look. For, ultimately, they tell us about who we are, who God is, and how He deals with us. Let us take a look at this little-explored field of emotions by focusing on a special group of individuals, namely biblical prophets. We will use the biblical text and also incorporate insights from cross-cultural psychology and the cognitive sciences as we explore the emotional world of biblical prophets. [Quotation from article

Status of Pacific Mackerel spawning population, 1976

In order to initiate a fishery for the Pacific mackerel, Scomber japonicus, it is required that the spawning biomass be determined to have reached 10,000 short tons. Tag and recovery data and jack mackerel, Trachurus symmetricus, fishery data are analyzed for evidence of an increase in Pacific mackerel population size. The present level of the spawning population of Pacific mackerel, although larger than in recent years, is determined to fall short of the 10,000 tons needed to initiate a fishery. (24pp.
