AGROVOC

Device inserted in fishing gear to allow escapement, alive, of unwanted species (including medusae) or individuals (juveniles) or endangered species (e.g. seals, turtles, dolphins). (ASFA Thesaurus)

Fishing activities that do not cause or lead to undesirable changes in biological and economic productivity, biological diversity, or ecosystem structure and functioning from one human generation to the next. Fishing is sustainable when it can be conducted over the long-term at an acceptable level of biological and economic productivity without leading to ecological changes that foreclose options for future generations.,Managing fisheries so that they continue to be healthy, functioning ecosystems that support breeding stocks of catchable fish. Sustainable fishing practices have two components: (1) thoughtful regulations that are grounded in good science, and (2) angling practices that are ethical and in line with those regulations.

Myriophyllum heterophyllum (Haloragaceae, common name variable watermilfoil) is an aquatic perennial plant native to the Southeast of the USA. The species is used in aquarium and for ornamental purposes in ponds. (https://www.eppo.int/INVASIVE_PLANTS/iap_list/Myriophyllum_heterophyllum.htm)

Opportunity structure is the framework of socially structured means and rules available for a social group to achieve its aims and interests, which are culturally defined and oriented toward social success. (Latorre‐Catalán, M., 2017. Opportunity structure. The Wiley‐Blackwell Encyclopedia of Social Theory, pp.1-2. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118430873.est0268)

The yield response factor (Ky) captures the essence of the complex linkages between production and water use by a crop, where many biological, physical and chemical processes are involved. It addresses the relationship between crop yield and water use: relative yield reduction is related to the corresponding relative reduction in evapotranspiration (ET).

Propetamphos is an organophosphate insecticide, a phosphoramidate ester and an isopropyl ester. It has a role as an agrochemical and an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor. CAS No. 31218-83-4 (PubChem https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/5372405)

Cavariella aegopodii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), also known as willow-carrot aphid, is a sap-sucking insects widely distributed in Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. This polyphagous species infests a variety of plants, including willow trees, carrot plants, and various other herbaceous plants. The deleterious effects of C. aegopodii on crop growth primarily stem from its feeding activities and its role as a vector for transmitting plant viruses, such as carrot red leaf virus (CRLV) and carrot mottle virus (CMotV).

It is an annual plant species from the Lamiaceae family, described by Andrej Pavlovich Khokhrjakov in 1995. (Translated from Wikipedia. 2026. Lamium tschorochense. https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamium_tschorochense)

Submarine cables are cables laid down on or within the ocean’s seabed to carry telecommunication signals or electricity across stretches of ocean and sea. (Adapted from Wikipedia. 2025. Submarine communications cable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_communications_cable)

The degree to which the landscape facilitates the movement of organisms (animals, plant reproductive structures, pollen, pollinators, spores, etc.) and other environmentally important resources (e.g. nutrients and moisture) between similar habitats. Connectivity is hampered by fragmentation.

Pneumovagina is the abnormal presence of air in the vagina, which may lead to pneumometra and endometritis. (John R. Newcombe, Why Are Mares with Pneumovagina Susceptible to Bacterial Endometritis?

Large, multiple-use marine areas, defined scientifically and strategically, in which government authorities, private organizations, and other stakeholders cooperate to conserve the diversity and abundance of marine life and to promote human well-being. A seascape is a geographic space, identified by both ecological and strategic criteria, in which an initiative is taking place. (Murphy SE, Farmer G, Katz L, et al.
