  2. Overfishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfishing

    Jack mackerel caught by a Chilean purse seiner Fishing down the food web. Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish (i.e. fishing) from a body of water at a rate greater than that the species can replenish its population naturally (i.e. the overexploitation of the fishery's existing fish stock), resulting in the species becoming increasingly underpopulated in that area.

  3. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Two intersecting lines. In Euclidean geometry, the intersection of a line and a line can be the empty set, a point, or another line. Distinguishing these cases and finding the intersection have uses, for example, in computer graphics, motion planning, and collision detection.

  4. Destructive fishing practices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destructive_fishing_practices

    Destructive fishing practices are fishing practices which easily result in irreversible damage to habitats and the sustainability of the fishery ecosystems.Such damages can be caused by direct physical destruction of the underwater landform and vegetation, overfishing (especially of keystone species), indiscriminate killing/maiming of aquatic life, disruption of vital reproductive cycles, and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsustainable_fishing_methods

    Ray Hilborn stated that the unsustainable nature of fisheries can be characterized by three aspects: . Inconsistent long-term yield refers to the imbalance in nature when fishing is practiced improperly, which results in the inability to capture the maximum sustainable yield at a regular and predictable rate.

  8. Concurrent lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_lines

    For example, the first Napoleon point is the point of concurrency of the three lines each from a vertex to the centroid of the equilateral triangle drawn on the exterior of the opposite side from the vertex. A generalization of this notion is the Jacobi point. The de Longchamps point is the point of concurrence of several lines with the Euler line.

  9. Intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection

    The intersection of A with any of B, C, D, or E is the empty set. In mathematics, the intersection of two or more objects is another object consisting of everything that is contained in all of the objects simultaneously. For example, in Euclidean geometry, when two lines in a plane are not parallel, their intersection is the point at
