FISHTERM's fisheries quiz:
level 2


Question 1:

A control available to managers, intended to minimize the catches of small fish. Such a control is often decided upon based on yield per recruit considerations like avoiding growth over-fishing. That is, minimum size regulations aim to alter the exploitation pattern so that young fish are given a better chance to grow before being vulnerable to fishing.


A. Aquarium
B. Catfish
C. Minimum size
D. Mortality rate

Question 2:

Refers to statistics about the stock that are col- lected independently of the fisheries, e.g. through scien- tific surveys. Most ICCAT data are fishery-dependent.


A. Innocent passage
B. Fully Exploited
C. Fishery-Independent
D. Mesh size

Question 3:

A very low permeability thin geosynthetic membrane liner or barrier, made of elastomers or thermoplastics (polyethylene, PVC) in wound strips, used with any geotechnical engineering related material so as to control fluid (liquid or gas) migration in a pond or dam.


A. Salting workshop
B. Catch at Age (CAA)
C. Dam liner
D. Lift net

Question 4:

A vehicle that can travel underwater, control its own movement and maintain its own life support.


A. Observer
B. Age of maturity
C. Mortality rate
D. Submarine

Question 5:

In the short-term, it is the fishing capacity over and above that which is needed to extract the TAC from the stock. In the long-term, it is the fishing capacity over and above that which is needed to achieve the management objectives (e.g. to generate a fishing mortality equal to FMSY).


A. Crustacean
B. Clam
C. Excess Capacity
D. Tonnage

Question 6:

A naturally formed offshore land feature (such as mudflat, shoal, rock, or reef ) within a distance of not more than 12 nautical miles from the low-water line of the mainland or an island, which is surrounded by water and visible at low tide but submerged at high tide.


A. Low-tide elevation
B. Crustacean
C. FIS
D. Exploitation Pattern

Question 7:

Services in charge of processing documents in the fisheries sector in a Country. Equally includes all services, enterprises, companies, etc. carrying out fisheries related activities.


A. Proxy
B. Bigeye (Thunnus obesus)
C. Fisheries service
D. Plastic pond

Question 8:

An official record of a fishing vessel´s fishing operations (including location and time of catches, gear configuration, nominal effort used, size samples, etc.).


A. Fish shop
B. Fishing logbook
C. Langoustine
D. Fecundity

Question 9:

Process in shipbuilding that follows the float-out/launching of a vessel and precedes sea trials - act of renovating and fitting out a ship.


A. Ship fitting
B. Catch curve
C. Maximum likelihood
D. Ricker

Question 10:

Fishing carried out solely for research purposes by institutions or duly authorised persons.


A. Fork length
B. Numbers at age (N)
C. Scientific fishing
D. Merchant navy
