In the world of investing, anchoring bias manifests when investors rely heavily on initial information, such as past performance or a specific price, when making decision. For example, if an investor sees a stock at a historically low price, they may anchor their expectations of its future performance solely based on that low price, without considering other relevant factors. 1, record 1, English, - anchoring%20bias

Le biais d'ancrage se produit lorsque les individus restent trop attachés à l'ancre initiale et qu'ils ne procèdent pas à des ajustements suffisants par rapport à cette valeur, même si l'ancre est arbitraire ou non pertinente. Par exemple, lorsque des individus doivent estimer la hauteur d'une montagne après avoir été exposés à un chiffre aléatoire, leurs estimations sont influencées par ce chiffre, même s'il est complètement non pertinent [...] 1, record 1, French, - biais%20d%27ancrage

The data obtained by [a] tag-recapture method are commonly used to evaluate the fish population dynamics and the effect of stock enhancement. However, to ensure the accuracy of the recapture data, it is necessary to choose the appropriate fish size for tagging.... In the first experiment, the effects of T-bar anchor tags on growth, survival and tag retention of... four size groups [of fish] were examined and the size-dependent effects on survival and tag retention were tested. In the second experiment, different mix ratios of tagged fish and untagged fish from two size groups... were set for simulated catching and the catching results were resampled. 1, record 3, English, - tag%2Drecapture%20method

Es el tipo de ancla clásica que evolucionó a partir del primitivo modelo utilizado en el mundo antiguo. Se distingue por su gran agarre en fondo duro, de arcilla y de arena, pero de rendimiento inferior en fondo de limo o barro. Por su tamaño y peso resulta difícil de estibar -aunque existen modelos de uñas plegables-, siendo por lo tanto inadecuada para barcos de eslora menor a 30 pies pero imprescindible en barcos de dimensiones mayores (goleta y ketch). Otro de sus inconvenientes es que se debe fondear con precaución para que la cadena no se enrede en el cepo y pierda su eficiencia. Se la utiliza preferentemente como ancla de respeto o para fondear en condiciones rigurosas, siendo la única que agarra en fondo de algas. 2, record 4, Spanish, - ancla%20almirantazgo

This is frequently used as a charge, or crest, emblematical of hope, or of naval service. In old examples it is not unfrequently ringed at the point as well as at the head. The parts are thus named : the shank or beam(fr. stangue) : the stock, timber, or cross-piece(fr. trabe) : the cable(fr. gumène) : and the fluke(fr. patte). In some coats the anchor has a chain attached instead of a cable. 2, record 6, English, - anchor
