In practice, shelf stowage involves the laying out of single layers of fish side by side and head to tail, belly down on a bed of ice, but with no ice among or on top of the fish.... It has been found that these shelf stowed fish are inferior in quality compared with fish which have been shallow bulk stowed at the same time. 1, record 1, English, - shelf%20stowed%20fish

A clinoform is a seaward-dipping surface of a prograding sediment body that consists of a gently dipping topset, a steeply dipping foreset, and a gently dipping bottomset. The topset consists of fluvial and subaqueous environments coupled at the shoreline. Clinoforms are ubiquitous in modern depositional systems and are the fundamental constructional units of stratigraphic sequences. 3, record 4, English, - clinoform

A continental island is merely a detached remnant of the continent near which it lies and from which it is separated, in almost all instances, by shallow water. The boundary between deep and shallow water is the 100-fathom(600-foot) line, and nearly all continental islands rest upon submarine platforms which are less than 100 fathoms(600 feet) deep and run into the submerged continental shelf. 1, record 15, English, - continental%20island
