As with any profession, those early years generally involve training and — quite literally — learning the ropes.... Many greenhorns earn a "half share" for their first [fishing] voyage. The most common way of compensating fishermen is via a percentage of the value of the landed catch, after expenses are backed out. Essentially, each deckhand gets a pre-determined share of the profit, after the costs of fuel, ice, food, lubricant, and other potential fees are backed out. 1, record 1, English, - half%20share

[A] way to examine the early arrival of herring on the spawning grounds was by comparing the catch rates at age from one year to the next by age groups. The assumption was that if catch rates are biased downwards somewhat, then the number of fish observed in 1999, for fish one year older than in 1998, would be less than expected. Seven comparisons were made for the different age-groups. 4, record 2, English, - age%20group%20of%20fish

[L'aspect] a aussi été examiné en comparant les taux de prise selon l'âge d'une année à l'autre, par groupe d'âge. Si nous assumons que les taux étaient faussés à la baisse, alors le nombre de poissons observés en 1999, en tant que poissons d'un an de plus que ceux de 1998, serait inférieur à ce qui était prévu. Sept comparaisons ont été faites pour les différents groupes d'âge. 4, record 2, French, - groupe%20d%27%C3%A2ge%20des%20poissons

Enjoy the serenity of canoeing on a glass-like lake at dusk; feel the wind and spray while kayaking across wide, clear water; catch that big bass from your rowboat in the ethereal fog of early morning; sail across a lake, silent except for the quiet ruffle of the jib. These are examples of low-impact boating. They provide great adventure, good exercise and a window into a world not seen by other boaters. 1, record 3, English, - low%2Dimpact%20boating
