description: This section describes an analysis looking at the uniformity of distribution for rare functional variants across genes. The hypothesis was that genes of less significance to monogenic human diseases would display more uniformity in the occurrences of benign coding mutations across the protein sequence, whereas genes that are more linked to causing penetrating diseases would harbor regions that are more devoid of mutations due to conservation of important protein domains.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Field surveys are notoriously costly. Whilst continuous acoustic surveys provide good value in terms of their data richness and spatial coverage when compared to point sample surveys (e.g. trawls, dredges, grabs), there is scope to improve survey methods and provide value added data. We present technical details and an example application of an approach that maximises survey efficiency and data richness through the integrated use of two acoustic tools; a fisheries echosounder and ground discrimination system. Simultaneous, integrated operation of both systems provides a more cost-effective use of survey time by eliminating the need to conduct independent coverage. The scientific benefit is that the approach removes the temporal confounding of spatial data that results when trying to compare data from two independent surveys. i.e. it enables fish to be placed with their habitat by linking information about seafloor composition directly with fisheries data.

description: The dust-forming nova V2676 Oph is unique in that it was the first nova to provide evidence of C_2 and CN molecules during its near-maximum phase and evidence of CO molecules during its early decline phase. Observations of this nova have revealed the slow evolution of its lightcurves and have also shown low isotopic ratios of carbon (12C/13C) and nitrogen (14N/15N) in its nova envelope. These behaviors indicate that the white dwarf (WD) star hosting V2676 Oph is a CO-rich WD rather than an ONe-rich WD (typically larger in mass than the former). We performed mid-infrared spectroscopic and photometric observations of V2676 Oph in 2013 and 2014 (respectively 452 and 782 days after its discovery). No significant [Ne II] emission at 12.8 micron was detected at either epoch. These provided evidence for a CO-rich WD star hosting V2676 Oph. Both carbon-rich and oxygen-rich grains were detected in addition to an unidentified infrared feature at 11.4 micron originating from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules or hydrogenated amorphous carbon grains in the envelope of V2676 Oph.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Multibeam sea floor mapping technologies have provided the capability to accurately, and cost effectively, image large areas of the seabed. This imagery provides base maps of sea floor topography and seabed reflectivity from which targeted surveys can be planned to characterize sea floor sediments and associated benthic communities. Over the last decade extensive multidisciplinary surveys have been carried out in the Gulf of Maine on Stellwagen, Browns, German and Georges banks. Other pilot projects in Atlantic Canada and the northeastern USA and around the world have demonstrated the value of integrated sea floor mapping in designating and managing marine protected areas (The Gully, Stellwagen Bank), in identifying offshore hazards such as landslides, in siting offshore structures, cables and pipelines, and in addressing environmental issues such as the routing of outfalls and disposal of dredge materials and mine tailings. To advance the application of these new tools and digital map products, an international scientific team is advocating the development of a mapping strategy to provide the foundation for sustainable ocean management in the Gulf of Maine for the 21st century. Core agencies contributing to the development of this strategy include the Geological Survey of Canada, the United States Geological Survey, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as strong participation from state and provincial agencies. Notably, there is also a strong interest by independent organizations such as the Gulf of Maine Council and the Sloan Foundation (Census of Marine Life) to see this initiative developed further.

Genetic testing in beef practice
Creators: name: Osterstock, Jason B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2015

description: Genomic technologies are emerging as an important tool in beef genetic improvement strategies. Genetic tests are used extensively by many progressive seedstock breeders to increase accuracy of selection and accelerate genetic progress. Increasing use of these technologies in the seedstock sector have also led to development of applications for commercial cattle. There are several keys to technical evaluation of genomic technologies. The first is the accuracy of the prediction which can be expressed as a genetic correlation or an increase in accuracy of EPDs when incorporated into genetic evaluation. The second is the association between the prediction and the observed phenotype. In the case of the genomically enhanced EPD, this is implicit in the reported accuracy. For commercial applications, this should include some external validation of the predictions in a population independent of that used for the development of the test. Provided these validation criteria are met, the application of the technology is very straightforward and effectively the same as historical practices. The principal differences are that the selection decisions can be made earlier in life with greater accuracy, including for traits that are not expressed phenotypically until much later in life. This accelerates genetic progress by minimizing selection mistakes and allowing producers to identify and exploit superior genetics much sooner than with traditional approaches.

Pre-weaning bovine respiratory disease in the cow-calf herd
Creators: name: Smith, David R.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2015

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in beef calves prior to weaning is a problem for 1 in 5 cow-calf farms. Preweaning BRD is a costly problem for the cattle industry and a detriment to animal well-being. This is a perplexing health problem because ranch calves typically live in conditions of little stress and relative isolation, risk factors commonly associated with BRD in weaned calves. Some factors that appear to be related to BRD risk in pre-weaned calves are waning maternal immunity, loss of herd immunity in herds with short calving periods, activities that result in increased animal density, calf gender, and age of the dam. Collectively, these factors are related to the calf’s ability to resist infection and to opportunities for pathogen exposure. Activities such as commingling and weaning may have less impact on calf health if they are completed prior to or after calves are 3 to 5 months of age, thereby avoiding the period of greatest susceptibility. Vaccination programs intended to induce adequate immunity in calves prior to 90 days of age have shown some efficacy, but require further study.

description: The existence of a quantum spin liquid (QSL) in which quantum fluctuations of spins are sufficiently strong to preclude spin ordering down to zero temperature was originally proposed theoretically more than 40 years ago, but its experimental realisation turned out to be very elusive. Here we report on an almost ideal spin liquid state that appears to be realized by atomic-cluster spins on the triangular lattice of a charge-density wave (CDW) state of 1T-TaS$_2$. In this system, the charge excitations have a well-defined gap of $\sim 0.3$ eV, while nuclear magnetic quadrupole resonance and muon spin relaxation experiments reveal that the spins show gapless quantum spin liquid dynamics and no long range magnetic order down to 70~mK. Canonical $T^{2}$ power-law temperature dependence of the spin relaxation dynamics characteristic of a QSL is observed from 200~K to $T_f= 55$ K. Below this temperature we observe a new gapless state with reduced density of spin excitations and high degree of local disorder signifying new quantum spin order emerging from the QSL.

Designing effective calf vaccination programs
Creators: name: Chase, Christopher C. L.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2015

description: Vaccination is an important component for the prevention and control of bovine bacterial and viral diseases. Modified-live vaccines (MLV) have been used because of the good antibody response, longer duration of immunity, fewer doses needed per animal, and lower cost. The selective pressure from an animal’s immune response may lead to new viruses that persist and cause problems in the herd. An interesting vaccine will be the live Pasteurella multicida and Mannheimia hemolytica vaccines. Non-adjuvanted MLV vaccines also fail to booster well vaccinated animals as active vaccine-induced immunity neutralizes vaccine virus preventing the MLV from replicating and preventing a booster immune response. Improved adjuvants have increased the scope and duration of inactivated virus immunity. Inactivated vaccines generate cell-mediated response and can enhance the immune response in well-vaccinated animals. This whole process from vaccination to achieving mature immune response takes at least 3 weeks. This fully developed mature primary response can then be boosted to get a true anamnestic secondary response. There is no "single vaccination program” that will work on most farms or ranches. Each vaccine program needs to be designed based on the actual threats and needs of the farm, and not based on a company’s or neighbors suggested program.

Rectal temperature and bovine respiratory disease outcome
Creators: name: Theurer, Miles
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference

description: Rectal temperature is a common component of health-monitoring protocols to diagnose bovine respiratory disease. Information about the effectiveness of using rectal temperature as a diagnostic method and as a prognostic indicator for case outcome is provided. There are several factors that affect rectal temperature including environmental condition, time of day, and timing relative to disease progression. Rectal temperature of feedlot calves at first treatment of bovine respiratory disease has limited value as a prognostic indicator of case outcome; however, the use of rectal temperature does provide some form of objective monitoring for use in production practice.

description: Recent investigations on the Hamiltonian of excitons by F. Schweiner et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 046401 (2017)] revealed that the combined presence of a cubic band structure and external fields breaks all antiunitary symmetries. The nearest neighbor spacing distribution of magnetoexcitons can exhibit Poissonian statistics, the statistics of a Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) or a Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) depending on the system parameters. Hence, magnetoexcitons are an ideal system to investigate the transitions between these statistics. Here we investigate the transitions between GOE and GUE statistics and between Poissonian and GUE statistics by changing the angle of the magnetic field with respect to the crystal lattice and by changing the scaled energy known from the hydrogen atom in external fields. Comparing our results with analytical formulae for these transitions derived with random matrix theory, we obtain a very good agreement and thus confirm the Wigner surmise for the exciton system.

description: The electron-photon interaction in 2D materials obeys the rule of electron valley-photon polarization correspondence. At the quantum level, such correspondence can be utilized to entangle valleys and polarizations and attain the transfer of quantum states (or information) between valley and photon qubits. Our work presents a theoretical study of the interaction between the two types of qubits and the resultant quantum state transfer. A generic setup is introduced, which involves optical cavities enhancing the electron-photon interaction as well as facilitating both the entanglement and un-entanglement between valleys and polarizations required by the transfer. The quantum system considered consists of electrons, optically excited trions, and cavity photons, with photons moving in and out of the system. A wave equation based analysis is performed, and analytical expressions are derived for the two important figures of merits that characterize the transfer, namely, yield and fidelity, allowing for the investigation of their dependences on various qubit and cavity parameters. A numerical study of the yield and fidelity has also been carried out. Overall, this work shows promising characteristics in the valley-photon state transfer, with the conclusion that the valley-polarization correspondence can be exploited to achieve the transfer with good yield and high fidelity.

description: Large surveys producing tera- and petabyte-scale databases require machine-learning and knowledge discovery methods to deal with the overwhelming quantity of data and the difficulties of extracting concise, meaningful information with reliable assessment of its uncertainty. This study investigates the potential of a few machine-learning methods for the automated analysis of eclipsing binaries in the data of such surveys. We aim to aid the extraction of samples of eclipsing binaries from such databases and to provide basic information about the objects. We estimate class labels according to two classification systems, one based on the light curve morphology (EA/EB/EW classes) and the other based on the physical characteristics of the binary system (system morphology classes; detached through overcontact systems). Furthermore, we explore low-dimensional surfaces along which the light curves of eclipsing binaries are concentrated, to use in the characterization of the binary systems and in the exploration of biases of the full unknown Gaia data with respect to the training sets. We explore the performance of principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), random forest classification and self-organizing maps (SOM). We pre-process the photometric time series by combining a double Gaussian profile fit and a smoothing spline, in order to de-noise and interpolate the observed light curves. We achieve further denoising, and selected the most important variability elements from the light curves using PCA. We perform supervised classification using random forest and LDA based on the PC decomposition, while SOM gives a continuous 2-dimensional manifold of the light curves arranged by a few important features. We estimate the uncertainty of the supervised methods due to the specific finite training set using ensembles of models constructed on randomized training sets.

Bovine thoracic ultrasonography

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2015

description: Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) continues to be the major animal health concern facing the North American cattle feeding industry. Despite improvements in technologies and the development of new antimicrobials, morbidity and mortality rates have remained flat or even increased. Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is a technology that has shown promise as a chute-side diagnostic tool for BRD. Degree of lung consolidation, as determined by TUS, has been negatively correlated to clinical outcome in cattle pulled for signs attributable to BRD and not treated with antimicrobials (negative controls). Thoracic ultrasonography is relatively simple to perform, and many of the available ultrasound machines and probes used for bovine reproductive ultrasonography can also be used to examine the lungs and pleura. While the procedures and techniques for large-scale use in a production setting remain to be validated, practitioners may currently be able to use the technology to add accuracy and value to their recommendations for case management of individual animals.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The deep-sea realm is one of the least-known oceanic areas on Earth, yet plans are underway to commercially develop its mineral resources. It is mandatory, before such plans are implemented, to perform appropriate environmental impact assessments involving, i.a., field experiments in which exploitation-oriented activities (e.g., mining) are simulated. Experiments aimed at assessing environmental impacts of deep-sea mining can be, and are, a largely untapped source of data on composition, abundance, and distribution of various ecological groupings of organisms. Here we describe acquisition and type of data on abyssal mega- and meiobenthos, obtained during the 1995-1997 Interoceanmetal Benthic Impact Experiment (IOM BIE). The experiment was aimed at assessing environmental effects of a small-scale abyssal seafloor disturbance simulating that created by polymetallic nodule mining in the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (NE Pacific). The marine life data were derived from analyses of visual imagery (videotapes and underwater photography) and deep-sea sediment cores. The resultant census of organisms provided information on the occurrence of a number of higher-level megafaunal and meiobenthic taxa as well as on more finely-resolved (genus level) assemblages of meiobenthic nematodes (Nematoda) and harpacticoids (Copepoda Harpacticoida). The data, particularly those pertaining to the meiobenthos, lend further support to the notion of high deep sea biodiversity.

description: The Usadel equation is the standard theoretical tool for the description of superconducting structures in the diffusive limit. Here I derive the Usadel equation for gyrotropic materials with a generic linear in momentum spin-orbit coupling. It accounts for the spin-charge/singlet-triplet coupling and in the normal state reduces to the system of spin-charge diffusion equations describing various magneto-electric effects, such as the spin Hall effect (SHE), the spin-galvanic effect (SGE) and their inverses. Therefore the derived Usadel equation establishes a direct connection of these effects to their superconducting counterparts. The working power of the present formalism is illustrated on the example of the bulk SGE.

description: Radiation hardening of the MOSFET is of the highest priority for sustaining high-power systems in the space radiation environment. SiC-based power electronics are being looked at as a strong alternative for high power spaceborne power electronic systems. The SiC MOSFET has been shown to be most prone to SEB of the radiation effects. The knowledge of SiC MOSFET device degradation and failure mechanisms are reviewed. Additionally, the viability of rad-tolerant SiC MOSFET designs and the methods of SEB simulation are evaluated. A merit system is proposed to consider the performance of radiation tolerance and nominal electrical performance. Criteria needed for high-fidelity SEB simulation are also reviewed. This paper stands as a necessary analytical review to intercede the development of rad-hard power devices for space and extreme environment applications.

description: Historically, bovine respiratory disease (BRD) has caused major challenges in the North American feedlot industry. Commonly, BRD is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in feedyards. Current BRD detection practices involve visual appraisal of clinical signs, such as depression, nasal discharge, altered locomotion, lack of fill, and cough. A novel high-frequency active integrated electronics system (AIES) was utilized to collect and record eating behavior of newly received, southeastern, auction-market derived calves. Two studies evaluated the health performance of calves managed by a traditional health system (cowboy assessment) versus a technology system. Results demonstrated the AIES decreased total percentage of respiratory pulls from 38.3 to 19.6 (P = 0.0001), while BRD mortalities were numerically lower for the technology treatment group, but not significantly different from the traditional system.

description: We explore the influence of finite volume effects on baryon number fluctuations in a non-perturbative chiral model. In order to account for soft modes, we use the functional renormalization group in a finite volume, using a smooth regulator function in momentum space. We compare the results for a smooth regulator with those for a sharp (or Litim) regulator, and show that in a finite volume, the latter produces spurious artifacts. In a finite volume there are only apparent critical points, about which we compute the ratio of the fourth to the second order cumulant of quark number fluctuations. When the volume is sufficiently small the system has two apparent critical points; as the system size decreases, the location of the apparent critical point can move to higher temperature and lower chemical potential.

description: The study of the Milky Way relies on our ability to interpret the light from stars correctly. This calls for a reinvestigation of how reliably we can determine, e.g., iron abundances in such stars and how well they reproduce those of dwarf stars. Here we explore robust ways to determine the iron content of metal-rich giant stars. We aim to understand what biases and shortcomings widely applied methods suffer from. In this study we are mainly concerned with standard methods to analyse stellar spectra. This includes the analysis of individual lines to determine stellar parameters, analysis of the broad wings of certain lines (e.g., H$α$ and calcium lines) to determine effective temperature and surface gravity for the stars. For NGC 6528 we find that [Fe/H] = $+0.04$ dex with a scatter of $σ=0.07$ dex, which gives an error in the derived mean abundance of 0.02 dex. Our work has two important conclusions for analysis of metal-rich red giant branch stars. 1) For spectra with S/N below about 35 per reduced pixel [Fe/H] become too high, 2) Determination of $T_{\rm eff}$ using the wings of the H$α$ line results in [Fe/H] values about 0.1 dex higher than if excitational equilibrium is used. The last conclusion is perhaps not surprising as we expect NLTE effect to become more prominent in cooler stars and we can not use the the wings of the H$α$ line to determine $T_{\rm eff}$ for the cool stars in our sample. We therefore recommend that in studies of metal-rich red giant stars care needs to be taken to obtain sufficient calibration data in order to be able to also use the cooler stars.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fisheries data (landings) in the Baltic Sea have been systematically recorded since the 1920s whereas the stock dynamics of most commercially important species (e.g., cod, herring) are available since only the 1960s or 1970s. In this paper we identify and describe potential archival sources of fisheries data that may be useful for investigating multi-decadal scale variability in fish landings. We present examples of some long-term datasets for previous centuries for local fisheries such as those conducted by inhabitants of fishing villages and manors. The information recovered to date includes landings of fish species (e.g., cod, herring, perch, roach, whitefish, ide, pike) of different abiotic and habitat (open sea, coastal) preferences, and human factors that could serve as indirect measures of fishing effort. This information is available for various areas of the Baltic Sea: Bothnian Sea, Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Riga, northern and central Baltic Proper, Bornholm Basin and the Belts. This material and additional material not yet recovered will provide a new perspective from which to consider factors (e. g., fishing, climate change, eutrophication, marine mammal predation) affecting long-term variations in yields and abundance. Some of the material can be used in comparative studies with fisheries in other geographic regions. This investigation is part of the History of Marine Animal Populations programme of the Census of Marine Life.

description: We report magnetic and thermodynamic properties of a $4d^1$ (Mo$^{5+}$) magnetic insulator MoOPO$_4$ single crystal, which realizes a $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg spin-$1/2$ model on a stacked square lattice. The specific-heat measurements show a magnetic transition at 16 K which is also confirmed by magnetic susceptibility, ESR, and neutron diffraction measurements. Magnetic entropy deduced from the specific heat corresponds to a two-level degree of freedom per Mo$^{5+}$ ion, and the effective moment from the susceptibility corresponds to the spin-only value. Using {\it ab initio} quantum chemistry calculations we demonstrate that the Mo$^{5+}$ ion hosts a purely spin-$1/2$ magnetic moment, indicating negligible effects of spin-orbit interaction. The quenched orbital moments originate from the large displacement of Mo ions inside the MoO$_6$ octahedra along the apical direction. The ground state is shown by neutron diffraction to support a collinear Néel-type magnetic order, and a spin-flop transition is observed around an applied magnetic field of 3.5 T. The magnetic phase diagram is reproduced by a mean-field calculation assuming a small easy-axis anisotropy in the exchange interactions. Our results suggest $4d$ molybdates as an alternative playground to search for model quantum magnets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A Pilot Action of Exploratory Fishing was carried out in the second half of 2001 by two Spanish bottom-longline commercial fishing vessels within the Uruguayan Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ) targeting deep-water species. Trap fishing gears were also utilised as another alternative fishing gears.The main objective of the exploratory survey was to improve the knowledge of the distribution and the population structure of the species target of the survey: Groupers (Epinephelus spp.), Kingclip (Genypterus blacodes), Brazilian sandperch (Pinguipes spp.) and other accompanying species. Some preliminary results of this exploratory survey are shown in this current work. Fishery and biological data were collected by scientific observers on board of the two vessels which took part in the exploratory fishing. The collected data were date, time, position, depth, SST, SBT, weather condition, catches, discards, length distributions, sex, maturity, stomach fullness… among others. Length distributions, sex ratio and maturity stage of the most abundant species in the catch are also shown. Catch, effort and CPUE by area, gear and depth strata were analysed. Regarding bottom longline gear, the most abundant species were Dogfish shark (Squalus sp), Wreckfish (Polyprion americanus), Tope shark (Galeorhinus galeus) and Argentine hake (Merluccius hubbsi) in waters shallower than 200 m depth. Regarding Traps fishing gears, the most abundant species were crabs (Family Geryonidae) and Argentine conger (Conger orbignyanus).
CO2-Steuer Teil 2: Rückverteilungsmaßnahmen

description: CO2-Preise sind ein wichtiges Instrument im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise. Besonders in Kombination mit der Schaffung von umweltfreundlichen Alternativen können sie einen Beitrag zur Reduktion von Treibhausgasemissionen leisten. Außerdem wird ein Teil der Kosten für Umweltverschmutzung auf die Verursacher:innen übertragen. Gleichzeitig sind einige Haushaltsgruppen relativ stark von einem CO2-Preis betroffen. Vor allem Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen müssten relativ zu ihrem Einkommen eine vergleichsweise hohe Steuerleistung schultern. Andere Haushalte haben mangels fehlender Alternativen wiederum Schwierigkeiten damit, ihren Treibhausgasausstoß zu reduzieren. Um die Fairness und Akzeptanz von CO2-Preisen zu steigern, sowie soziale Schieflagen zu vermeiden, sollte die Einführung eines CO2-Preises mit Ausgleichsmechanismen einhergehen. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Studie wurden verschiedene Rückverteilungsmaßnahmen analysiert und miteinander verglichen. Die empirische Analyse erfolgt dabei mittels Mikrosimulationsmodell, basierend auf Daten der Konsumerhebung 2014/15. Auch SORESI, ein auf EUROMOD basierendes Mikrosimulationsmodell, wurde zur Verteilungsanalyse von Steuersenkungen verwendet. Durch den vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmenmix würden fast 60 % der Haushalte einen Einkommenszuwachs durch die ökosoziale Steuerreform erfahren. Vor allem Haushalte mit geringem Einkommen, Mieter:innen, junge Haushalte, sowie Haushalte in Gebieten mit mittlerer Bevölkerungsdichte würden profitieren.

description: CAEV is an incurable disease of goats that has social and economic impacts. Clinical disease includes encephalitis, arthritis, mastitis, and progressive respiratory disease. In the last 25 years there have been significant changes in the US goat industry. Recent prevalence studies are lacking and historic studies may not reflect changes in the industry. The purpose of the study was to establish the prevalence of CAEV in midwestern herds that are not actively controlling for CAEV.

description: An electro-optomechanical device capable of microwave-to-optics conversion has recently been demonstrated, with the vision of enabling optical networks of superconducting qubits. Here we present an improved converter design that uses a three-dimensional (3D) microwave cavity for coupling between the microwave transmission line and an integrated LC resonator on the converter chip. The new design simplifies the optical assembly and decouples it from the microwave part of the setup. Experimental demonstrations show that the modular device assembly allows us to flexibly tune the microwave coupling to the converter chip while maintaining small loss. We also find that electromechanical experiments are not impacted by the additional microwave cavity. Our design is compatible with a high-finesse optical cavity and will improve optical performance.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The hake fishery (Merluccius hubbsi and Merluccius australis) is one of the most important ones for Spanish vessels operating in the Southwest Atlantic. Both species are widely distributed along the Patagonian shelf, although M. australis occupies mainly more southern waters. This paper presents a historical review of fishery data on the Spanish fishing fleet operating in the SW Atlantic collected and collated during the EC Study Project 99/016 Data collection for stock assessment of two hakes (Merluccius hubbsi and M. australis) in International and Falkland waters of the SW Atlantic, in order to analyse the evolution of catch and effort in the hake fishery since 1983 to 2000. Data on landings and effort by Spanish vessels from 1983 onwards were utilised to study trends and shifts within the fishery. These data were provided by Asociación Nacional de Armadores de Buques Congeladores de Pesca de Merluza (ANAMER), the most important Spanish ship-owners fishing association operating in distant fishing grounds. Catch and effort data collected by observer’s programmes carried out by Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) and the Falkland Islands Government Fisheries Department (FIGFD), as well as by observers provided by the project were used to estimate CPUE by area and season. The data included landings in kgs by commercial size category of hake (both species together) and effort made by vessels appertaining to ANAMER in number of fishing days and number of vessels by vessel size category. Conversion factors obtained by scientific observers onboard of these vessels were used to obtain the whole catch from landings. Total effort of the Spanish fleet was estimated from ANAMER logbooks, assuming a similar pattern for the whole fleet and taking into account the different ratio of ANAMER fleet compared to the total Spanish fleet. An increase of the catches and effort was observed from 1983 to a maximum in 1990 coinciding with the closure of Namibian fisheries. After that, catches and effort decreased corresponding to the development of the Greenland halibut fishery in the NW Atlantic, until its stabilisation from 1993. CPUE showed different patterns of fishing activity by area and season.
