k, the carrying capacity, is measured by population surveys if you assume the population is already at k.  If it's not at k, then you'd have to do some work such as protecting an area against harvest and determining the population of that area every year then determine k for the whole bay based on that.  Actually it's pretty hard to know k in real life, it's more of an abstract guess by ecologists.

There's a pier in hattaras, really close to the hills, there's also surf fishing, use a bottom rig and red squid, the blues run in high tide, you can catch croaker too. Good Luck!

they are starting to pick up out there i would wait a month and it should be hitting.If your interested in other species as well ,the white sea bass are biting when the weather is good and you can fish around the kelp areas for calico's and yellows .you can check witht e boats that go out of santa barbara area the usually have a fishing report daily that will que you in as when to head out there.\ngood luck

Fishing lures and flies for fly-fishing. I use to collect belly-button lint, but I ran out of room.

Find a question that relates to the local area you live in, something you may have noticed, or has controversy.  A saying I like is "One measurement is worth a thousand expert opinions", which is the essence of science.  So find something to measure.  When I was in school (a long time ago) people I knew wondered about whether the local creek was clean enough.  Kids played in the creek and some people fished in it, but I thought it shouldn't foam and have a not quite clear look.  So, I got some sterile petri dishes from the biology lab, got some q-tips, and talked the local hospital pathologist into helping me.  If you need help, ask, you might be surprised, it turned out he was curious too.  Anyway, I learned a bit about how to identify bacteria and yes, the creek was polluted-bad!  I made the front page of the local paper.  I'm not saying do this, but think of a local problem and measure it.  Hope this helps.

Wetlands are essential to maintain the balance of the hydrologic cycle; they offer large surface areas of water and thus regulate the amount of water that flows, evaporates and eventually falls down again as rain. In addition, a wetland such as an estuary is the boundary between the sea and the land; they can buffer the influence of the tides and sea currents, and are usually very productive areas (that is, if pollution does not degrade them).\nEspecifically for the San Francisco area, here´s a link to the site for the San Francisco Bay reserve, they discuss the benefits and problems of the area:\nhttp://nerrs.noaa.gov/SanFrancisco/welcome.html\n\nand the local Wetlands Regional Monitoring Program:\nhttp://www.wrmp.org/\n\nand

B.O.D is biological oxygen demand.  It referrs to the amount of oxygen needed to maintain biological processes (like respiration and photosynthesis).  In waters that are polluted with high levels of phosphorus or nitrogen, the BOD is higher.  Those compounds are nutrients for the microbes that utilize them.  More nutrients = more microbe usage = higher BOD.

Come on bcmk33, you know how bass are. They bite whatever they are hungry for, and you know that it changes all the time. But have fun fishing there, catch a few for me. Tight lines.

University Extension offices have the best information. I don't know where you're based, but I'm based in FL so I'm attaching links to UFs extension programs. They have lots of papers & info on aquaculture there that can help. \n\nThe second link is to UF's publications on aquaculture & have a lot of good info!\n\nGood Luck!

Let me give you some sound advice.  If you live near a jetties, try there.  Anyway I fished from land in Jacksonville for many years and caught red fish, trout and flounder mostly.  The type of fish varies with the area.  Maybe a bridge in an inter coastal waterway or a back bay.  As far as a pier goes, I never cared much for that. There is a lot of good fishing from the bank or even wade fishing.  Again I would target the big 3 as I like to refer to them(reds, trout and flounder).  If you get a cast net you can save a bundle on bait.  I prefer mud minnows, finger mullet and live shrimp. Maybe I didn't exactly answer your question but I guess I'm trying to steer you away from waisting your time on a pier.  It all depends on how serious of a fisherman you want to become!

I came from Eufala last weekend and we were just using minnows. Three of us caught 100-150 on Saturday. BNut with the rain coming, I doubt they will be doing any good this weekend
