...When it comes to choosing a bass fishing lure, it seems to me that realism is the key. Bass fishing lures come it what seems like every shape and size, and the color combinations seem almost endless. It seems as if lure manufacturers have gotten a bit out of hand with all of this, because at the end of the day, the lure that looks the most like what the fishes prey is will work the best. Fishing lures were originally designed to mimic a bait fish (or other food source), with the express purpose of catching a fish. But it seems to me that the original concept has gotten a bit out of hand. If you go into a tackle shop today, there are more bass fishing lure choices available than can be found at a 'build your own' ice cream sundae store....

References………………………………… Page 12 Introduction Many of the larger current retail stores in the outdoor goods industry got their start by practicing direct sales – that is they sold door-to-door and person-to-person. Sometimes they placed advertisements in newspapers and when they got a response or an “order”, they would pack it up and mail it out from their own house. Logistics probably was not a very important topic in the minds of those entrepreneurs back then and the supply chain was simply whatever they had that they could sell. The more they sold, the more successful they became and the more they...

...Ajasiz Johnson American Intercontinental University Consumer Marketing MKT655 – Research Methods in Marketing June 23, 2013 Abstract Celebrities are often used by advertising agencies to endorse their products in an attempt to persuade the consumer to purchase their products. This paper discusses how celebrity endorsements tend to have an effect on consumers. Consumer Marketing Introduction Advertising obviously plays an essential role in the success or failure of a product. In some cases, using celebrity endorsers to promote products has been quite an effective campaign strategy for advertisers. Celebrity endorsed campaigns are created to sway the consumers and to promote a positive image. Research on Brand Endorser and Consumer Perception Since one of the key objectives of an advertising agency is to persuade customers to purchase the products they represent, an advertisement’s credibility plays an intricate part in heightening the sense of appeal to potential consumers. The enormous amount of money that is allotted for advertising budgets for celebrity endorsements indicate that they are vital in the “advertising world”. Pursuing a celebrity endorsement strategy enables advertisers to project a credible image in terms of expertise, persuasiveness, trustworthiness, and objectiveness (Till and Shimp 1998). Even though it may sound vain, when creating campaigns, advertisers also have to consider the attractiveness, physical appearance, personality, etc., of...

This is useful as it allows the assessment of the spatial variability of the environmental, biological, and socioeconomic specifications relevant to marine aquaculture including consideration of the different levels of importance amongst parameters and providing a qualitative and quantitative output that is useful and easy to understand for decision makers. Various research studies have been conducted in order to select suitable sites for marine aquaculture. Some of these studies include identifying suitable sites for coastal aquaculture in Camas Bruaich Ruaidhe, Mexico (Ross et al., 1993), selecting Margarita...

...Marta Pond Chef Ken Mertes CUL135 12 April 2010 Seafood Research Paper: Flounder (Greenaway) Flounders belong to the order Pleuronectiformes. The scientific name of the yellowtail flounder is Pieuronectes ferrugineus; of the starry flounder, P. stellatus; of the winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus; of the summer flounder, Paralichthys dentatus. The market name is flounder or sole. There are many common names associated with the flounder: yellowtail flounder, yellowfin sole, summer flounder, starry flounder, winter flounder, California sole, and Dover sole to name a few. (The Editors of The Encyclopædia Britannica), (The Editors of Seafood Business) When it first hatches from its egg, the free-swimming flounder has an eye on either side of its head, like most other fishes. After a few days, however, the flounder begins to lean to one side and the eye on that side begins to migrate to the side with the other eye; the side with both eyes eventually becomes the top of the fish. After this transformation, this flatfish becomes a bottom-dwelling fish, with the blind side losing its coloration and becoming the bottom of the fish. With this development, a number of other complex changes in the bones, nerves, muscles, and digestive tract occur. The pattern of the migration of the eye is genetically determined. Some flounders have the eyes and coloration on their former right side (family Pleuronectidae); other flounders have the eyes and coloration on their...

...Ahmed, R.A. Valmonte-Santos, C. Luna, L. Lachica-Aliño, P. Munro, V. Christensen and D. Pauly (eds.) Assessment, Management and Future Directions for Coastal Fisheries in Asian Countries. WorldFish Center Conference Proceeding 67, 1 120 p. Abstract This paper reviews the coastal fishery resources of Bangladesh emphasizing the coastal environment, capture fisheries and management issues relative to the sector. Bangladesh’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) covers an area of about 166 000 km2. This area has abundant natural resources such as fish, shrimps, crabs and other marine products. Shrimp and fish trawling is the most important economic activity in this area. The fishery sector makes a significant contribution to the national economy in terms of foreign exchange, income generation and employment. It is very important in nutrition, especially in providing animal protein. In 1997 - 99, the marine fisheries sector contributed 22% of the total fishery production of 1 373 000 t. However, the resources are being destroyed in many ways. The fisheries resources have declined and fishers are getting poorer. The decline is partly due to estuarine set bag net, push net, and beach seine fishing, which result in recruitment over-fishing. A multiplicity of factors adversely affect the coastal fishery resources of Bangladesh. Various laws, ordinances and acts have been formulated to manage the fisheries resources and to protect the coastal zone environment. Most of the laws have been amended...

...BENCHMARKING IN BRAINSTORM Asko Karjalainen 2002 “Our task is to try to redefine benchmarking by using new concepts and surprising metaphors.“ D uring the last decade quality assessment phenomenon called benchmarking has expanded very rapidly.( By using the expression “assessment phenomena“, I will now underline the importance of reflection. Benchmarking must be set to the test of the creative and critical thinking.) Benchmarking stories are told all over the organisations, also in the public sector. And some stories they are! They are success stories about growing efficiency, great improvements, with an undertone of enthusiasm and promising visions. In those narratives benchmarking is introduced as the modern management tool as well as the most effective quality enhancement method. It seems that benchmarking really works. Why is it so? There may be many practical reasons like “building on the work of others makes sense“, “it can lead to cooperation“ or that the method is concrete and well documented (Keehley, et.al 1997) However, it should be self-evident that any method adopted from the business life, is most likely to fail in defensive organisations like the universities.( Some further critics of the benchmarking, see for example Gooden & McCeary, 2001, Dervitsiotis, 2000; Palfreyman, 1999).) Surprisingly enough, this seems not to be true with benchmarking. There is an increasing interest to apply benchmarking in the higher education organisations (Schofield...

...TRACING THE ORIGIN OF THE CHARACTERISTIC BAD ODOUR OF DRIED STOCK FISH PROJECT BY ADESINA ADEBOWALE T. (2011) 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information With the ever growing population and the need to store and transport food from one place to another where it is needed, food preservation becomes necessary in order to increase its shelf life and maintain its nutritional value, texture and flavor. Therefore good food preservation techniques must prevent microbial spoilage of food without affecting its quality and nutritional attributes. Fish are recognized as highly perishable having a relatively short shelf life, therefore fish requires proper handling and preservation to increase its shelf life and retain its quality and nutritional attributes. Fresh fish spoilage can be very rapid after it is caught, immediately a fish is caught it loses its natural resistance to attack by microorganism and also start to undergo both physical and chemical changes that in return bring changes in appearance, taste, smell and texture. During fish spoilage there is a breakdown of various components and formation of new compounds. This new compounds are responsible for changes in odour, flavour and texture of the fish. Fish lipids contain omega − 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), especially Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids play a vital role in human nutrition, disease prevention, and health promotion. Long chain omega − 3 PUFAs cannot be synthesized...

...National Agricultural Scenario | | India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Even now, agriculture supports 58% of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. In the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen from 61 to 19%. As of today, India supports 16.8% of world’s population on 4.2% of world�s water resources and 2.3% of global land. And per caput availability of resources is about 4 to 6 times less as compared to world average. This will decrease further due to increasing demographic pressure and consequent diversion of the land for non-agricultural uses. Around 51% of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11% of the world average. The present cropping intensity of 136% has registered an increase of only 25% since independence. Further, rain fed dry lands constitute 65% of the total net sown area. There is also an unprecedented degradation of land (107 million ha) and groundwater resource, and also fall in the rate of growth of total factor productivity. This deceleration needs to be arrested and agricultural productivity has to be doubled to meet growing demands of the population by 2050. Efficiency-mediated improvement in productivity is the most viable option to raise production. The country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture...
