English

Subject field(s)
  • Collaboration with the FAO
  • Ecology (General)
  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... the fish stock can be augmented to enable a continuing availability through time. Thus fish... have the special feature that even though their utilisation results in depletion, new stocks are created by a process of self-generation. The regeneration occurs at a "natural" rate, often directly dependent upon the amount of original stock remaining unutilised.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Piloting and Navigation

Domaine(s)
  • Pilotage et navigation aérienne
DEF

Appareil qui peut être interposé entre une source d'oxygène à débit continu et l'utilisateur afin que l'oxygène puisse s'emmagasiner pendant la phase expiratoire de la respiration et devenir disponible pendant la phase inspiratoire, réduisant ainsi le gaspillage et permettant une utilisation plus efficace d'un débit d'oxygène de valeur donnée.
