The text is a review of the book "The World of Jesus: Socio-cultural Contexts to Understand Jesus of Nazareth" written by Santiago Silva Retamales. The book explores the socio-cultural dimensions of the Gospels to better understand the life and mission of Jesus. Topics such as religion, diseases, demons and miracles of Jesus, identity in Jesus' society, fundamental socio-cultural values in Israel, commensality in Israel and of Jesus, marriage and family, and descent and subsistence are addressed. The author analyzes the history of Israel, the period of Judaism, and focuses on Galilee, highlighting the importance of the Sea of Galilee and the commercial activity of fishing. The Jewish religion in the Second Temple, life and death in that period, and the conception of illness and healing methods are also explored. In addition, identity in Israel, honor and shame, and the importance of meals in Jesus' life are examined. The book offers a comprehensive and rich insight into these topics.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement sets out in details the mechanism for resolving fisheries disputes between the EU and the UK. It consists of the following core components: the mechanism for the settlement of fisheries disputes arising from access to waters, the mechanism for the settlement of fisheries disputes arising from failure to fulfill fisheries obligations, the Specialised Committee on Fisheries as a platform for consultation, and the Arbitration Tribunal for Disputes. Although it has assisted both parties to resolve fisheries disputes peacefully within the framework of international law, the implementation of the mechanism still faces a number of challenges. At present, China is facing long-term and complex fishery enforcement disputes with neighboring countries. Although China has signed bilateral fishery cooperation agreements with several countries, the establishment of an effective fishery enforcement disputes settlement mechanism on fisheries remains unresovled. This paper on the EU-UK fishery dispute mechanism aims to provide some experience and lessons for China to resolve fishery enforcement disputes with neighboring countries more effectively. This paper is mainly divided into three parts, the first part is mainly about the overview of the EU-UK fishery dispute mechanism, the second part is the dilemma of China's fishery enforcement dispute settlement, and the third part is the lessons from the EU-UK fishery dispute mechanism.

The book has evolved and been adapted from Haddon's earlier book "Modelling and Quantitative Methods in Fisheries" (Haddon [1], [2]) and the code used in the book is available in the R package MQMF, which is available on CRAN. For example, the introduction to MCMC methods first claims it stands for Markov Chain Monte Carlo, which is correct, but then the book suggests that Monte Carlo Markov Chain is also used and that this is a more intuitive way. Although, the "Static Models" chapter does an excellent good job of demonstrating the methods described in the fitting parameters chapter, I would have liked the methods in the uncertainty chapter to also be demonstrated on these models.

"Fishing Europe's Troubled Waters: 50 years of Fisheries Policy" by David Symes is a posthumously completed book that provides a comprehensive analysis of European fisheries policy. Symes, who had a deep understanding of the subject, took a unique approach to his research, relying on historical analysis rather than empirical data. He was not afraid to criticize government policy makers, fisheries managers, and fishers when he believed they fell short. The book is divided into three acts, exploring the impact of UNCLOS III, the evolution of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), and the aftermath of Brexit. Symes concludes that despite its failures, the CFP remains Europe's best hope for the future of fisheries. The book offers valuable insights into the complexities of fisheries governance in Europe and is recommended for those seeking to understand the CFP and Britain's relationship with it.

Park and Kramarz argue that accountability should be used "as a means of exposing the underlying politics of choice, learning and reconstituting [global environmental governance] to lead to better environmental outcomes" (220). There are also empirically rich but dense and narrowly focused chapters on interstate emissions accountability in climate politics and on hybrid accountabilities in cooperative initiatives for global climate governance and illegal wildlife trade governance. By Park, Susan and Kramarz, Teresa, editors. [Extracted from the article]

How nature interfaces with markets, influences technology and in turn conditions the way humans organize their lives is not a common theme dealt with by economists or sociologists. Their world goes far beyond the 'locally bound fishing community to a broader globalised web of markets, property rights, international financial markets, scientific discourses and technological developments'.

Aquaculture: An Introductory Text - 4th Edition Robert R Stickney & Delbert M Gatlin III: Joe Tomasso School of Fisheries, Aquaculture & Aquatic Sciences, Auburn University, Oxfordshire, UK and Boston, USA. Someone new to aquaculture who reads this book may come away from the experience thinking that the development of modern aquaculture (defined here as development in the 20th and 21st centuries) was a hit-and-miss venture. Chapter 3 will probably be the most enjoyable chapter for the reader who is new to aquaculture. [Extracted from the article]

Similar to its Atlantic congener, the Pacific bluefin tuna also has 2 main spawning grounds that differ in the average size and age composition of the fish present, but there is no evidence of genetic differentiation. The pacific bluefin has the largest home range of any bluefin species. Southern bluefin management can be an example for every tuna species at risk of overexploitation. [Extracted from the article]

This is the source that Thomas Riis has used to reconstruct the fishing industry of the major east-coast port of Crail between 1552 and 1592 (with some gaps in the 1560s and 80s), where six burgh books survive. Indeed, with forty per cent of the book's text being devoted to tables reporting the contents of the burgh books, it comes close to being an edited edition of the source, made comprehensible by Professor Riis's careful contextualisation and commentary. It seems unlikely that any historian could extract any more from the record on the Crail fisheries than this book achieves, and Professor Riis gives us one of the richest histories of such an enterprise.

A bridge between worlds: Tunas and Billfishes of the World: Collette and Graves, Tunas and Billfishes of the World. The book treats three families: Scombridae, Istiophoridae, and Xiphiidae. The last major biological review of Scombridae was in the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) catalog by Collette and Nauen ([2]); Istiophoridae and Xiphiidae were covered in the FAO catalog by Nakamura ([7]).

A "cutt" above the rest: theory, practice, and challenges of naming species of iconic trout: Reviewing: Cutthroat Trout: Evolutionary Biology and Taxonomy. The overarching goal of the workshop and the book is to reevaluate Cutthroat Trout biodiversity and taxonomy based on new species concepts, geological and fossil evidence, and molecular data. Four species are described: I O. clarkii i is retained for Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Lahontan Cutthroat Trout I O. henshawi i , Westslope Cutthroat Trout I O. lewisi i , and Rocky Mountain Cutthroat Trout I O. virginalis i .

The USA has been, and still is, the major player in largemouth bass aquaculture research and development, but both research and commercial farming are becoming increasingly international, with China playing a leading role in the expansion. The editors of I Largemouth bass aquaculture i have worked on research and development of largemouth bass aquaculture at Kentucky State University (USA) for over two decades, and they have been prominent in the promotion of largemouth bass as a farmed species. As a result, the focus tends to be mainly on the conditions and farming practices prevalent in the USA, although a considerable part of the book content may have application in other regions where development of largemouth bass farming is being considered.

This essay gives a summary and my reflections about Margaret Willson’s book, focusing on women, women’s conditions, and gender relations in the Icelandic fisheries and other sea-related industries. The author’s background as an American anthropologist, a hobby-diver, and a “traveller” colors the form and content of the texts and narratives. The book covers women, and to some degree also men’s lives during several centuries, from the 1700s until today. We learn about household and community life and women’s lives at sea, as well as the national and political conditions of Iceland that was under the rule of Denmark until 1944. These days, the quota regime is important for the fishing practices. One of the main points of the essay is that Willson’s book gives a unique and valuable empirical contribution of women to the Icelandic fisheries that play an important role for Iceland as a nation. Another point of the essay is that books like Willson’s book can inspire others to write a book from their own countries. A third point is that more knowledge about women fishers and other seawomen may be an important step to improve their conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reviews the book "The Open Sea: Its Natural History: Part II, Fish and Fisheries," by Alister Hardy.

In chapter 6, Hannesson introduces the importance of fisheries management of the 200-mile zone regulation and the loopholes that still exist in the world fisheries management architecture - loopholes that are made evident when trying to regulate shared stocks between countries, stocks in international waters, and distant-water fishing fleets. "The Future of Wild-Caught Fisheries: Moving Beyond the Traditional Single Fisheries Management Paradigm." To address this diverse audience, the author must find a balance between graphic representations, math, and text that comprise most fisheries economics textbooks. [Extracted from the article]

It is Dobeson's insistence on studying the rural economy of Westfjord small boat fishers as re-entangled with wider economic networks and his attention to the situationally contingent enactments of human-fish-technology relations that is the book's main contribution. In a time where the world's fisheries are dominated by big industrialised fishing vessels that harvest an increasingly privatised sea, what are we to make of the small boat revival taking place in the Northwestern fjords of Iceland? Revaluing coastal fisheries: how small boats navigate new markets and technology: by Alexander Dobeson, Cham, Palgrave Macmillan, 2019, xiv, 266 pp., €84,99 (hardback), ISBN 978-3-030-05086-3.

The term ghost species is used to describe species that are not completely extinct, but extirpated from an area where they once occurred, and to which they could - if the right actions are taken - potentially be restored. As a result, a restoration effort known as the Big Bog Project was deemed unsuccessful: the caribou were unable to move freely because their habitat remained fragmented, and Indigenous rights and relationships with nature were not considered. In I Climate Ghosts i , environmental historian Nancy Langston focuses on three migratory species in the Great Lakes watershed in North America: the woodland caribou I Rangifer tarandus caribou i , common loon I Gavia immer i and lake sturgeon I Acipenser fulvescens i .
