Fishermen and UCSB scientists explore ways to improve management of California spiny lobsters

Unique, collaborative ways to manage fisheries are emerging in Southern California. Currently the California spiny lobster is being scrutinized as Californians evaluate the first five years of marine reserves in the Channel Islands area. An innovative collaboration has developed between local trap fishermen and scientists at the Bren School of Environmental Science and Management at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The partnership, called CALobster (www.CALobster.org), has ambitious long-term and short-term goals.

1. Releasing fish for the future
   05-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
   NSW Department of Primary Industries fisheries scientists are investigating ways to boost the survival rates of fish caught and then released by anglers. Guidelines designed to improve fish survival were recently developed for released line-caught snapper, silver trevally, mulloway, sand whiting, yellowfin bream and dusky flathead.The research, costing more than $1.5 million and funded by NSW DPI and the Recreational Fishing Trust (using money from licence fees), is developing protocols designed to maximise fish survival via subtle changes to management practices.

   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A team of American and Ugandan researchers worked with local farmers to test low-cost soil management alternatives in eastern Uganda. While each alternative soil treatment increased crop output, findings suggest that the best treatment plan varies from farmer to farmer as it is dependent on other factors.

4. Scientists discover novel way to remove iron from ferritin
   11-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study led by Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute senior scientist, Elizabeth Theil, PhD, is the first to suggest that a small protein or heptapeptide could be used to accelerate the removal of iron from ferritin. The results of this study may help scientists develop new medications that dramatically improve the removal of excess iron in patients diagnosed with blood diseases such as B-Thalassemia (Cooley's anemia) or sickle cell disease.

   05-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
   First in a petri dish and now on live salamanders, probiotic bacteria seem to repel a deadly fungus being blamed for worldwide amphibian deaths and even extinctions. Though the research is in its early stages, scientists are encouraged by results that could lead the way to helping threatened species like mountain yellow-legged frogs of the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern California.

   08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   An international research team, led by scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, has found a way to switch a material's magnetic properties from "hard" to "soft" and back again -- something which could lead to new ways of controlling electromagnetic devices. The research will appear in the journal Nature on Aug. 2, and shows how a magnet can be "tuned" by subjecting it to a second magnetic field, perpendicular to the original.
