FISHTERM's fisheries quiz:
level 3


Question 1:

A (medium- or long-term) shift in environmental conditions that impacts the productivity of a stock. (Beamish et al. 1999)

A. Age-length key
B. Maturity
C. Regime shift
D. Lake
E. Industrial fishing

Question 2:

A stock assessment programme based on Schaefer´s form of the production model, with non-equilibrium tuning of biomass-based abundance indices. The population model is in lumped biomass.

A. Maritime authority
B. Limit Reference Point
C. Drying
D. ASPIC
E. Oyster

Question 3:

International treaty-based organisations (about 17 of them) establishing binding measures for conservation and sustainable management of highly migratory or straddling fish species, covering various geographic areas, some of which overlap.

A. Ship
B. RFMO
C. By-catch
D. Phytoplankton
E. Growth Overfishing

Question 4:

A stock assessment program based on length-based separable models and tuning of abundance indices. The population model is length/age-structured.

A. Shellfish farming
B. Harpoon
C. Fishing
D. Sea
E. MULTIFAN-CL

Question 5:

A benchmark against which the abundance of the stock or the fishing mortality rate can be measured in order to determine its status. These reference points can be Limits or Targets, depending on their intended usage.

A. Biological Reference Point (BRP)
B. Minimum size
C. Public waterways
D. Snail
E. Aquarium

Question 6:

A type of passive fishing gear having the form of a basket often placed at the bottom of water and used to trap fish, crabs, and other aquatic resources. ** Barrel-shaped structure made out of willow, with one or two funnel-shaped openings.

A. Fresh water
B. Macrobrachium rosenbergii
C. Basket
D. Exclusive Economic Zone
E. Albacore (Thunnus alalunga)

Question 7:

A natural flow of water that continues in a long line across land to the sea/ocean

A. Falling gear
B. Fishery resource
C. Icing
D. River
E. Effective Effort (f)

Question 8:

To dehydrate fishery products through the direct action of heat produced by solar energy or some other source.

A. Nautical mile
B. Foreign ship
C. Drying
D. Catch curve
E. Exploitation right

Question 9:

Automotive vehicle with trailer designed to carry temperature-controlled goods.

A. Pronged harpoon
B. Exploitation Rate
C. Genetic resource bank
D. Conversion Factor
E. Isothermic vehicle

Question 10:

The extent to which a stock is susceptible to fishing; quantitatively, or fraction of the stock which is caught by a standardised (effective) unit of effort. It is also used as the constant of proportionality that relates effective effort to fishing mortality (q x f = F) or as the constant of proportionality that relates an index of abundance to absolute stock size (I = q x N).

A.
B. Bait
C. Smoking factory
D. Catchability (q)
E. Baseline
