Dear reader, I'd like to describe you something about new methods of fishing and fish finding. What do you know about electrofishing thecnology? You can read much about that below. Have fun...

Electrofishing uses electricity to stun fish before they are caught. Electrofishing is a common scientific survey method used to sample fish populations to determine abundance, density, and species composition. When performed correctly, electrofishing results in no permanent harm to fish, which return to their natural state in as little as 2 minutes after being stunned.

Five Chinese fishermen seized off Cameroon

Gunmen kidnapped five Chinese fishermen off Cameroon's Bakassi peninsula earlier this week, a security source said on Wednesday, and local rebels blamed militants from Nigeria's Niger Delta for the raid.
Nigeria's most prominent militant group denied involvement in the kidnapping, the latest in a series indicating that insecurity is spreading from the Delta, where attacks on oil installations and workers have slashed oil output since 2006.
"We have just received information that some Chinese fishermen were kidnapped in Bakassi," a security source in the Cameroonian port city of Douala told Reuters.
The source said the incident took place on Monday but gave no further details. There was no immediate confirmation from the Cameroonian or Nigerian authorities of the incident.
Ebi Dari, the commander of the Bakassi Freedom Fighters (BFF), a group opposed to last year's return of Bakassi from Nigeria to Cameroon, said gunmen from the Nigerian oil town of Port Harcourt were responsible for the kidnapping.
"(The militants) told us they were actually pursuing a boat carrying some workers of a Western oil company which ran out of sight. So, frustrated, they seized the five Chinese men aboard the fishing vessel as they returned to their base," Dari said.
"The fishermen were just victims of circumstances, they just found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time."

از جنگ ستارگان تا ماهیان رباتیک

دپارتمان رباتیک دانشگاه اسکس خبر از آزمایش اولین ماهی رباتیک جهان برای مونیتورینگ یا همان کنکاش آلودگی و ویژگی های آب داد:

آب های جیجون که بندری در شمال اسپانیا است به زودی شاهد شنای یک ماهی رباتیک و متحرک با قدرت موتور تغذیه شده از باتری خواهد بود. این موجود مکانیکی و جالب که در دانشگاه اسکس تولید شده و قیمت آن حدود ۳.۶ میلیون دلار است می تواند خواص آب را از جمله میزان اکسیژن و سطح مواد نفتی موجود در آب و سایر فاکتور ها را بررسی کند. این اولین برنامه ی مونیتورینگ از این نوع است که اطلاعات بدست آمده از آن در مباحث گرمایش زمین و پایش منابع آبی ما بسیار مهم خواهد بود.

Whaling commission to extend negotiations for a year

FUNCHAL, Portugal (AFP) - – International Whaling Commission members agreed Wednesday to extend negotiations over the disputed hunting of the marine mammals for a year, avoiding a disastrous split in the group. Spokeswoman Jemma Miller said the IWC, which regulates world whaling between hunters and conservationists, recognised that it "is at a crossroads beset by fundamental disagreements as to its nature and purpose."...
