11. Analysing the seal-fishery conflict in the Baltic Sea and exploring new ways of looking at marine mammal movement data
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : A comprehensive analysis of the available data reveals that there is currently not enough information for making informed management decisions regarding the seal-fishery conflict in the Baltic Sea. Knowledge of hidden and visual damages is limited, which means that the actual cost to the fishing industry from damages is not known. LÄS MER
12. Attack behavior and presence of grey seals around pots : a search for seal-safe cod-pots in the Baltic sea
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic ResourcesSammanfattning : The seals and the fishery are forced to share the role as top-predators in the Baltic waters since they both depend on the same fish stocks, which leads to an unavoidable competition. Seals are raiding traps, leading not only to costly damaged fishing gears and loss in fish catch but also to the seals themselves getting caught and drowned in the gears as by-catch. LÄS MER
13. Explaining catch efficiency of cod pots using in situ behavioural studies
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic ResourcesSammanfattning : The seal populations in the Baltic have been growing since the 1980s causing great eco-nomic losses for the fisheries since seals are using fishing gear as easy food sources. One solution to the seal and fishery conflict is the development of seal safe fishing gear. Pots are a possible solution in the cod (Gadus morhua) fishery. LÄS MER
14. Marine mammal behavior response to sonars, a review
Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : During the last decades the problems caused by anthropogenic sound and noise in oceans have been recognized in public, by governments, and military. With the use of active sonar, different choices can be made to minimize the risk of damaging or disturbing marine mammals. For this purpose knowledge of sonar disturbance is crucial. LÄS MER
15. An Optimal Foraging Perspective on Early Holocene Human Prey Choice on Gotland : Affluence or Starvation?
Magister-uppsats, Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljöSammanfattning : The Optimal Foraging Theory, rooted in the processual archaeology, uses a measuring methodology where the foraging strategy that gives the highest payoff measured as the highest ratio of energy gain per time unit is analysed (Mac Arthur & Pianca 1966, Emlen 1966). The theory is a branch of evolutionary ecology why much attention is paid to the interdependence of humans and preys and environmental conditions caused by climatologically and geographical changes or by overexploitation or other changes caused by humans.
