Test for tomorrow

REMEMBER: These are the three questions I selected: #2 #7 and #9. TOMORROW YOU WILL CHOOSE TWO OF THEM. You should look at the questions and at the possible outlines given below. The outlines ARE NOT PERFECT but are basically good and CAN HELP YOU PREPARE YOUR OWN. Prepare YOUR OWN OUTLINE for the two questions you'll choose TOMORROW. BRING THOSE WITH YOU TO CLASS TYPED!!!!!

QUESTION #7: Fishermen today have many ways to communicate and obtain relevant data about fishing, weather and oceanic hazards. If you were going on a boat and and could just choose three means of communication, what would you choose and why would you choose them? Explain using information about these means from the book.

The three means of communication that I would choose if I were going on a boat are: Radio to keep in contact, VHF for weather updates, and GPS for determining the location.

• Radio:

- weather forecast (p 108)

- emergency cases

· GPS:

- locating positions

- reach broadcasting on shore

- accurate 15 feet

- to back up loran system (p 115)

• VHF:

- updates on weather (p 110)

- decide how much gear to put out

• spotter planes: (CITATIONS ARE NEEDED HERE).

- to locate fish

Question #2. Explain how the environment influences the swordfishing industry.

The environment influences the swordfishing industry in several ways including amount of mecury in swordfish, lunar cycle, and water temperature. When the information about the environmental factors is known well, the information will help increase the swordfish catches.

-Lunar Cycle (Junger, pp 110,111)

-Water temperature (Junger, pp 70 -75)

-Dangerous amount of mercury in swordfish (Junger, p 82)

-Swordfish was forbidden to fish and sale by F.D.A. in 1971. (Junger p 82)

Question # 9. How does a person drown? What happens to the body?

The book "The Perfect Storm" gives an idea of how a person drowns. Once a person gets thrown in the water, his/her body mentally and physically goes through several stages until death.
- In the water
-instinct: no breathing (179)
-lack of oxygen, blood full of CO2(p180)
-hyperventilation (179)
-voluntarty apnea (p180)
- break point (179)
- drowning process (180-181)
- Hypothermia (185)
-caused by suffocation-laryngospasm (181)-
- cardiac arrest
- body will sink after person got unconscious
- body will float up to the water surface
