MESURE CAPACITE [9 records]

  • Environmental Management
  • Commercial Fishing
CONT

... using input-based measures for measuring [fishing] overcapacity is very complicated. It is because these measures involve not only the vessel used to harvest fish, but also other factors, such as labour, capital and fish stocks. Furthermore, seasonality and fluctuation of stocks, the condition of multi-species and multi-gear fisheries can increase the complexity when determining the optimal mix of inputs needed in producing a desired output level.

Since socio-economic information is necessary in policy and planning process nowadays, the socio-economic aspect cannot be avoided when designing the appropriate measures to control fishing capacity, especially for those implemented on small-scale fisheries. ... to properly design and implement the capacity measures on small-scale fisheries is very challenging and costly for the ... government to meet all required arrangements.

La función que se estime es propia para la unidad productiva promedio del grupo que represente y no es recomendable su extrapolación a otros grupos; si es posible, para otras naves de la misma flota y pesquería, agregar variables que permitan dar cuenta de la diferencia, como por ejemplo un indicador de capacidad de pesca o de tecnología de captura.

Capacity measures on output basis directly determine the potential output and/or the level of capacity utilisation. This measurement is usually conducted for the individual vessel ... The relationship between fixed input level, utilisation level or such inputs and output level is not directly expressed in the estimation of the output-based capacity measure ...

Since the low cost sensor technologies available present several limitations to their inclusion in this system, it was developed and implemented a low cost sensor, as described by Valente et al. (1997), based on the heat-pulse and capacitance methods. In the first method the maximum temperature rise measured at some distance from a line heat source can be used to determine the volumetric heat capacity and hence the water content of a porous media, such as soil. The second method relates the volumetric water content with the capacitance change of a probe, inserted in the soil, according to its dielectric proprieties. Simultaneous use of both methods improves sensor accuracy, gives built-in fault detection capability, and makes possible self-calibration procedures. ... In a capacitance-based method, the soil moisture can be obtained by measuring the capacitance that varies with the dielectric properties of materials.

Le trait caractéristique de la mesure matérialisée est qu'elle ne possède en général pas d'index. Dans certains cas, cet index peut appartenir à l'instrument qui, conjointement avec cette mesure, sert au mesurage (par exemple : la balance conjointement avec le poids), ou bien il peut être formé par le corps mesuré même (par exemple : le ménisque formé par le liquide dans le col d'une mesure de capacité à col gradué).
