FISHTERM's fisheries quiz: level 3
Question 1: Harvest of uncultured fish from water bodies.
Question 2: Qualifying a stock which is not being over-exploited nor underexploited. This can be interpreted in an quilibrium yield sense as fishing at FMSY, or in a yield-per recruit sense as fishing at Fmax.
Question 3: A simplified VPA algorithm based on an approximation that assumes that, in a given time period, all fishing takes place instantaneously in the middle of the time period.
Question 4: A vehicle for carrying liquids in bulk.
Question 5: A cessation of fishing activities.
Question 6: Also known as the Taylor Series method, the Delta method is a statistical procedure used to quantify the uncertainty associated with estimates obtained from a model.
Question 7: The number of fish in each age class in the stock at a particular point in time. Age-structured assessment models aim at estimating these quantities.
Question 8: Controlled cultivation (breeding or farming, raising, and harvesting) of aquatic organisms such as fish, shellfish, crustaceans, molluscs, algae and other valuable organisms such as aquatic plants (e.g. lotus, seaweeds) in fresh, brackish or sea water. It involves cultivating freshwater, brackish water and saltwater populations under controlled or semi-natural conditions.
Question 9: The fish born in the same time period, usually a year.
Question 10: Cold-blooded aquatic vertebrate with gills, no digits, and no limbs other than fins which swims by using its fins and tail.
