This month's focus on the fishing and aquaculture sector includes detailed reviews of trawlers, a line fishing vessel, a fish farm support vessel, and a crab boat that was built to perform the secondary function of oil spill response. These vessels are designed for operation in various waters, from the frigid environments of the Norwegian Arctic and Russia's Far East to the more temperate regions off France and South America.
We are also treated to another insightful excerpt from Swimming with Fishes, the memoirs of veteran fishery biologist and regular contributor Bob Iversen.
