Making fishes maturity stage easy
Most policies for the industrial fish fisheries are based on principles such as average length of first maturation, seasons of reproduction and recruitment, among others. These principles are mainly based on the information on fish maturity stages. However, this information is difficult, laborious and very costly. Even when trying to estimate without more in-depth techniques (such as histology), errors of up to 70% can be seen in classifications, which can lead to important errors in interpreting the ecology of the fishery resource. Thus, we propose to create an app that, through the camera of any cell phone, can obtain more reliable and faster information, in order to help preserve fish stocks. The creation of this app could be considered as a great and important research, so we can get subsidies with fishing foundations and/or universities, which would provide us with both the space and the necessary equipment for the analyses.
- Problema que resuelve su propuesta
- My proposal could positively affect all public policy of fisheries in the world, especially in places where there is little information about the species (Data limited fisheries). however, i would start by implementing the app with the most important resource in southeast-south Brazil, the sardine Sardinella brasiliensis. With my project, the policy basis of the fish fisheries, biological information of the stage of maturity, would be much more reliable, easier and cheaper to acquire. This would solve the problem where there is a lack of experts and/or money to focus on studying the ecology and overfishing of fish stocks.
- ¿Qué impacto positivo tiene o tendría su propuesta en su comunidad? Cuáles son las mejoras concretas ambientales o sociales
- Well-founded public policies for fisheries, leading to correct interpretations of the ecology and overexploitation of fish stocks.
- ¿Por qué te interesa involucrarte con problemáticas que afectan al ambiente y/o a los océanos?
- As an oceanographer, I've always been interested in the oceans and their preservation. In particular, marine fauna and ecology are fascinating to me. Nothing would bring me greater accomplishment than carrying out a project to solve a real ocean problem (overfishing).
