Chapter 17, Problem 1CT

For the last three years the annual catches of a commercially important fish have been above the maximum sustainable yield. One option is to decrease the fishing effort by decreasing the number of fishers. This, however, would cause unemployment in a region where unemployment is already high. What other options might ensure a lower fishing effort? How could they be carried out?

Summary Introduction

To determine: Other options that might ensure a lower fishing effort.

Introduction: Fishing is one of the oldest human activities. Fishes are most widely used as food as it is a good source of protein and other nutrients. It is required to manage fisheries to save resources those are caused by means of overfishing.

Explanation of Solution

Other options that might ensure a lower fishing effort are as follows:

  • Use different types of nets.
  • Use less efficient fishing method.
  • Use a limited number of boats that use less powerful engines.
  • Reduce catch size.
  • Utilize by-catch.

You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
