Marine resources • Chemicals • Energy • Fisheries
Beer/Wine/ Vinegar -accelerates and improves clarity. Chocolate Milk Drink -stabilizes and improves viscosity. Ice cream -prevents ice crystals formation. -enhances excellent mouth feel. Flans/Dessert Gel -enhances flavor release and excellent mouth feel Sauces and Dressings -thickens and improves viscosity. Beef Patty -substitutes fat, retains moisture and increase yield. Luncheon Meat -prevents fat separation serves as a meat extender. Poultry and Ham -controls dehydration of frozen poultry, enhances juiciness and increase yield. Petfood Canned meat and fish -gelling and stabilizing agent. Moist, solid petfood –binder Toothpaste –stabilizer Air freshener -gelling agent. Natural products

Fisheries – A renewable resource? • What’s a fishery? – a concerted human effort to catch species of fish for human use and consumption • Includes both finfish and shellfish (crustaceans and mollusks) Where are the most productive fisheries?
Note: china’s catch doesn’t include Taipei or Hong Kong 293,191,054,000 pounds
16% of global human protein consumption Higher for costal and island nations – Japan, Iceland, Caribbean etc.
9,505,000,000 pounds of fish Includes imports and exports What we use fisheries for…
Coos Bay/Charleston – 15.9 million dollars (all that money spent probably at the local Wal-mart…ugh)
How could we possible maintain a fishery at these numbers? Ahhhhh… the Theory of Surplus Production
Some considerations first… -biological resources -biological interactions -fish recruitment and survival depends upon food availablity/competition, predation and disturbance -age and size structure of stock
The ever elusive MSY (maximum sustainable yield) aka TAC – total allowable catch
