All catch curves have three regions of interest : an ascending left limb, a domed middle portion, and a descending right limb... The ascending left limb represents age-classes of fish that are not yet fully vulnerable to the gear used in fishery. Fish in these age-classes are said to have "not fully recruited to the fishery.

Le membre gauche ascendant et le dôme de la courbe de capture représentent des classes d'âge incomplètement capturées par l'engin d'échantillonnage : c'est-à-dire capturées moins fréquemment, par rapport à leur abondance, que le sont les poissons plus âgés. Cela peut provenir du fait que les jeunes poissons sont davantage concentrés dans une autre partie de la masse d'eau que celle surtout pêchée, ou qu'ils sont moins enclins à mordre aux appâts ou à pénétrer dans les filets. Toutes choses étant égales, le taux de mortalité totale ira en augmentant pendant cette période de recrutement. Cependant, il est impossible de rien trouver de défini sur le taux réel de mortalité durant les années couvertes par le membre gauche et le dôme de la courbe, tout simplement parce que la population n'est pas échantillonnée au hasard [...] 1, record 5, French, - membre%20gauche%20ascendant

Le bouleau à feuilles cordées est parfois touché par le dépérissement du bouleau qui peut entraîner la mort de l'arbre. On pense que le dépérissement du bouleau résulte d'une combinaison de plusieurs facteurs qui stressent l'arbre à un moment donné. 1, record 14, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%A9rissement%20du%20bouleau

Much of the drop in the target student population can be attributed to non-transmission of the language at home. With a language continuity index of about 70% since 1971, the target student population is expected to drop even more sharply. The school definitely plays a role in this transmission and, clearly, measures that ensure the transmission of French must continue to be implemented, because the right to instruction in French will be lost if French is no longer used as a mother tongue by the target student population or as a language of instruction. 5, record 16, English, - language%20continuity%20index

Index of continuity(HL/MT)...

The decline in unemployment insurance benefits largely reflects the measures introduced in the December 1992 Economic and Fiscal Statement and the first-round restraint measures announced in this budget. The impact of the second-round reform has not been incorporated into the projections.

Until this decade, Canadian economists and officials have been content to explain regional decline and fall on the basis of the "staple theory".... According to this approach, regions rise, and draw in new population and capital, when new locally-oriented products(such as furs, wheat, pulp) gain access to the world market. These regions later decline when these raw materials are depleted, their markets disappear, or improved competing sources can sell in world markets at lower prices. 1, record 22, English, - staple%20theory
