The exploitation pattern can be changed by :(1) modifications to the fishing gear characteristics, for example, increasing mesh or hook size;(2) modification of the mix of [gear] in a multigear fishery, for example introducing a new gear type aiming at a particular age range;(3) modification of the proportion of the removals taken by each gear in a multi gear fishery;([4]) change in fishing practice such as shift in area or time period fished(possibly as a result of a regulation such as a closed area or season). 2, record 1, English, - exploitation%20pattern

[Le mode d'exploitation est] l'effet combiné de la sélectivité des engins et de la disponibilité du poisson. Ce mode peut être altéré par des modifications des engins, par exemple une augmentation des dimensions du maillage ou des hameçons, ou un changement du taux de ponction des engins qui exploitent le poisson (par exemple, filet maillant, chalut, ligne et hameçon). Les modes peuvent aussi être modifiés par l'évolution des pratiques de pêche, telles que le fait d'éviter les zones où se trouvent les juvéniles. 2, record 1, French, - mode%20d%27exploitation

The most common type of CVT employs a steel belt and two pulleys. Rather than step among four or five gears of different sizes, the CVT varies the effective diameter of the drive pulley and driven pulley to create a broad range of drive ratios free of the shift feel of conventional transmissions. Imagine riding a bike on which the sprocket and rear gear magically change size without requiring the chain to jump from one gear to another, and you have the basic idea. By increasing or decreasing the space between the pulleys’ respective halves, the CVT varies the effective diameter of the conical inner surfaces on which the belt rides. It varies these parameters at any time, at any engine or vehicle speed. 4, record 2, English, - continuously%20variable%20transmission

[...] au lieu de la multiplication des engrenages, et des multiples changements requis, la TVC se contente de deux poulies et d'une courroie. Les deux poulies sont de formes coniques et sont séparées par un espace évidemment très précis. La courroie, installée entre les deux poulies, peut donc se déplacer à volonté de haut en bas sur chacune des poulies. Le résultat est évidemment très souple, puisqu'aucun changement d'engrenage n'est nécessaire. La courroie glisse doucement et peut adapter des déplacements en fonction des besoins réels de la voiture. 7, record 2, French, - transmission%20%C3%A0%20variation%20continue
