Labor and the Labor Process in a Limited Entry Fishery
No full textWe examine aspects of labor in the harvesting sector of the surf clam/ocean quahog industry of the mid-Atlantic region of the United States in the context of limited entry. Vessel owners are both diversifying and cutting back on labor costs through crew consolidation in response to difficulties in the sea clam industry. A survey of crew-members on job satisfaction reveals more about the preferences and experiences of labor. We make predictions about the fate of labor under a new management regime based on individual transferable quotas. The analysis is intended to bring the interests of crew-members into the decision-making process and to improve the basis for predicting how future regulatory measures may affect crewing.fishery management, labor, crewing, Atlantic sea clams, limited entry, social impact, Environmental Economics and Policy, Labor and Human Capital, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

Big Boats, Big Crews, the Biggest Seas and Little Licenses - Exposing the Regulatory Paradox Allowing the Existence of the Uninspected Fish Processing Vessel
No full textThis article explores the regulatory paradox allowing these large, crew-intensive vessels, operating in extreme maritime conditions, to be classified as uninspected vessels. Section I of the article explores the legislative history of the current regulatory scheme and its possible relationship to the Magnuson Act while Section H examines the difference in the qualification requirements between crewmembers on inspected and uninspected vessels Section III considers any possible mitigation of safety discrepancies between inspected vessels and uninspected fish processing vessels because fish processing vessels require certification by the American Bureau of Shipping. Finally, section IV briefly examines the significance of the fishing industry\u27s exemption from the requirements of STCW

Mechanism of F-actin crosslinking by filamin A and the anti-inflammatory functions of plasma gelsolin in bodily fluids
No full textGelsolin (GSN) and filamin A (FLNa) are two actin-binding proteins discovered in our laboratory over 30 years ago. GSN is a calcium-activated actin severing and barbed end capping protein that is expressed as both intracellular and extracellular (plasma gelsolin, pGSN) isoforms. pGSN is present at relatively high concentrations (~ 200 µg/ml) in blood, but its extracellular functions have not been determined. pGSN levels decrease during acute inflammation and low levels correlate negatively with survival. Re-administration of pGSN to severely injured animals can rescue them from death, although the mechanism for this is unknown. pGSN levels during chronic inflammation have not been reported. FLNa is an important architectural component of three-dimensional actin networks in cells. It is an elongated homo-dimer that efficiently crosslinks F-actin into a gel in contrast to the gel-solating properties of GSN. Each subunit has an N-terminal “actin-binding domain” (ABD) followed by two rod-like domains and a C-terminal self-association domain. FLNa mediates actin-membrane connections, serves as a scaffold for >50 different binding partners, and FLNa-F-actin crosslinks accommodate cell shape changes and motility. However, as of yet there have not been sufficient details concerning FLNa’s structure to fully explain its multiplicity of functions.
pGSN has lipid-binding sites and has been shown to bind to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a potent cell-activating phospholipid. Based on this, a new hypothesis positing pGSN as an anti-inflammatory protein was formed. Using platelets and neutrophils isolated from human blood, the effects of recombinant pGSN on platelet P-selectin exposure and neutrophil oxygen radical production induced by LPA and another structurally related phospholipid, platelet-activating factor (PAF), were investigated. Results showed that pGSN modulated cellular activation induced by both of these inflammatory phospholipids. In order to investigate pGSN levels during chronic inflammation, plasma and synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid arthritis were analyzed. pGSN levels were lower in plasma from patients than age and gender matched healthy controls, and further reduced in synovial fluid.
To examine the mechanism behind FLNa’s potency as a F-actin crosslinker, the FLNa-F-actin interaction was investigated by binding and gel-point assays, electron microscopy, and real-time video microscopy using full-length and truncated FLNa molecules. A new F-actin binding site was identified, which functions in conjunction with dimerization, long flexible subunits, and the previously identified ABD, to explain high avidity binding to F-actin. The results also show that crosslinks are rigid structures and that the self-association domains determine high angle branching. The C-T domain of FLNa, which binds many partners, has a compact structure compared to the elongated N-T two-thirds of the protein, does not associate with F-actin and can bind partners while FLNa is bound to F-actin.
In conclusion, these findings demonstrate a novel function of pGSN as a modulator of phospholipids, a finding that may be important for inflammation, and that pGSN levels are decreased during chronic inflammation in addition to previously documented acute conditions. The mechanism of FLNa crosslinking of F-actin can be explained by the intrinsic structure and properties of the FLNa molecule
Low Thermal Responsiveness in the Bluegill, <i>Lepomis macrochirus</i>
No full text Fifteen young bluegill, Lepomis macrochirus, acclimated to 5 C for at least 1 mo, died during temperature preference testing owing to apparent voluntary exposure to high temperatures. The mortality rate of 100% for these fish greatly exceeded the 3.8% rate found for 262 bluegill acclimated to temperatures ranging from 20 to 34 C, and tested in the same apparatus. Modifications in the experimental design whereby fish acclimated to 5 C were held at about 19 C for 24 h during testing, enabled all fish to survive. These bluegill selected temperatures only 2 C lower than those acclimated to summer conditions. </jats:p
