Aquatic Food Production systems1.Fishing. Factors that affect productivity
Key Questions.1. What are the factors
controlling marine productivity?
2. Why is there a difference in productivity between open ocean and the continental shelf?
Instructions
• Please complete the tasks on this powerpoint.• The choice of format is yours. It can be
handwritten or typed in word.• You will need pages 258 to 262 in the textbook.• I have also uploaded a factsheet ‘Ocean
Productivity’• This is 3 lessons worth of work. I hope to see you
on Friday 23rd for lessons as normal when we will check through these tasks!
TASK 1 list 3 differences between agriculture and fishing.
Task 2 Complete a glossary of the following key terms. You will need the text book, the factsheet and perhaps notes from your other units.
1. Biomass2. Net Primary Productivity3. Algae4. Phytoplankton5. algal blooms6. Photic layer7. Upwelling8. Ocean salinity9. Ocean density10. Ocean thermocline
What are the factors controlling marine productivity?
Light1. Why are kelp, algae and seaweed only found in
shallow water?2. How does photosynthesis take place in deeper
water?3. Where and why might light penetration be reduced?4. How does latitude affect light and marine
productivity in oceans?5. Why are highest rates of NPP at a depth of 20-30
metres? (Fact Sheet)
TASK Use pages 258 and 9 to answer the following questions
What are the factors controlling marine productivity?TASK Use pages 258 and 9 to answer the following questions
Nutrients1. Which nutrients are abundant in oceans and
which are limiting factors?2. Where are least nutrients found in the
ocean?3. Where are most nutrients found in the
ocean and why?4. How are nutrients in the ocean replaced?
(fact sheet)
1. Which types of ecosystem yield the greatest biomass?2. Which ecosystem covers the smallest area of the earth?3. Which column is the most useful in deciding which ecosystem is the most
productive?4. Which ecosystem in the most productive and which is the least?5. Explain the difference in NPP between open ocean and continental shelf. Use the
following factors to help you explain; light, turbidity, depth, nutrient availability.
Table 1. compares NPP figures of some terrestrial ecosystems with the oceans.
Why is there a difference in productivity between open ocean and the continental shelf?
TASK complete the questions below
PLENARY TASK Complete the grid below. Look carefully at fig 14.1 on page 259 to help
Open Ocean Continental shelf

Aquatic Food Production systems2.Fishing Techniques
Key Questions.1. What are the factors
controlling marine productivity?
2. Why is there a difference in productivity between open ocean and the continental shelf?
Fishing Techniques- Pelagic or Demersal?TASK make sure you know the difference between pelagic and demersal fish. Give examples of each.
Instructions
• Complete the grid on the next slide.• Use the textbook, subsequent slides and
websites to help you.http://britishseafishing.co.uk/commercial-fishing-methods/http://www.mcsuk.org/downloads/fisheries/FishingMethods.pdf
Fishing Techniques
Trawling Including Midwater trawlers
Long-lining Purse seining Drift netting Factory ships
Description of technique
Selectivity of the catch
Incl. named species
Environmental impacts
Energy inputs
Fishing Technology
Technique Description ProblemsSurrounding net
Seine
Used for aggregated pelagic species e.g. tuna surround fish from the sides and from underneath, thus preventing the target species from escaping by diving downwards.
• Bycatch e.g. dolphins
• Discards (undersize specimens, no marketable specimens, non target species)
A very long net, with or without a bag in the centre. Operated with 2 long ropes fixed to its ends for hauling and herding demersal fish
• Bycatch/discards especially if mesh size small
Fishing Technology
Technique Description ProblemsBottom otter trawls
Dredge
Cone-shaped net kept open by otter boards which is dragged across the ocean floor
• Disturbance to sediment
• Bycatch of fish and non-fish species
Heavy, metal structures, sometimes with teeth to scrape along or cut through the bottom in order to catch mussels, scallops, oysters etc
• Sediment compaction and chemical changes
• Damage to reefs• Bycatch• Exposure of
organisms to predation.
Here are some good clips to watch about the impacts of commercial
fishing. They are on You tube so you may have to watch them at home.
Make sure you do!
