	GulfBase - Fishnet Bank
		It is a ‘transitional’ mid-shelf bank composed of tertiary limestones, sandstones, claystones and siltstones.
		Fishnet Bank is referred to as a ‘transitional’ bank with surrounding depths in excess of 65 m but less than 80 m on all sides of the bank.
		Two patterns of local relief are found atop Fishnet Bank: A pattern along its southern and south eastern perimeter, which may be a fringing reef but is more likely an outcrop of a more massive rock unit, and an ellipsoidal pattern of outcrops that result from the truncation of the domal uplift.

	Marine Fisheries Review: A Review of Stock Identification of Haddock, Me... @ HighBeam Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But how much interchange there is between haddock stocks from bank to bank or between inshore and offshore fishing grounds has not been answered by the various studies (Schroeder, 1942), although they have indicated that stock division probably does occur within each of the major regions.
		Larvae originating on Georges Bank are transported in a westerly direction, but are mostly retained on the bank that acts as both a spawning and nursery area (Grosslein and Hennemuth, 1973; Sherman et al., 1984; Smith and Morse, 1985; Lough and Bolz, 1989).
		Although larvae are retained on the western banks of Nova Scotia, the same does not appear to occur on most of the eastern banks, which may be explained by the existence of gyres in the former areas acting as larval entrainment mechanisms (O'Boyle et al., 1984).

	Gravel Fraction, Spitsbergen Bank, Barents Shelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The gravel fraction of the bottom sediment on the Spitsbergen Bank, located south of Svalbard in the NW Barents Sea, is composed predominantly of elastic sedimentary rocks, especially sandstone and shale.
		Observations on Mesozoic rocks on Bjornoya, Hopen and southern Spitsbergen, and on the distribution of pebbles as described herein, suggest that the Spitsbergen Bank is underlain by nearly flat-lying Mesozoic sedimentary rocks similar to those known on Svalbard.
		The overall structure is a gentle syncline; a southward continuation of the dominant regional structure of Spitsbergen.

		Tagging studies suggest considerable movement of pollock between the Scotian Shelf and Georges Bank and, to a lesser extent, between the Scotian Shelf and the Gulf of Maine.
		Nominal commercial catches from the Scotian Shelf, Gulf of Maine, and Georges Bank region increased from an annual average of 38,200 mt during 1972-76 to 68,800 mt in 1986.
		Biomass indices for the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank portion of the stock, derived from NEFSC autumn bottom trawl surveys, increased during the mid-1970s, declined sharply during the 1980s, and have remained relatively low since 1989.

		The depth of the shelf varies but is usually taken to be 200 meters, at which point the shelf merges with the steeper continental slope.
		The outer edge of the continental shelf and continental slope is breached by two prominent submarine canyons and numerous smaller ones.
		It begins near the edge of the shelf offshore of the Rogue River and feeds directly down the continental slope onto the deep ocean floor.

	Budgeteer News - Duluth, Minnesota
		Food banking began back in 1975 as regional warehousing charities were put in place to rescue national donations of bulk food from major manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers and growers for distribution to nonprofit agencies distributing food directly to the needy.
		The food bank prefers cash donations because it rescues food from national sources that require the costs of transportation, storage and handling to get the product into Duluth.
		Food shelves are able to handle small quantities of donated food directly, and typically the food bank refers local food drives (unless a regional focus) to the food shelves in their local communities.

		The NW Atlantic/Georges Bank Study is not restricted to the continental margin and shelf, but encompasses also the processes and phenomena of the larger oceanic boundary region that affect the Bank.
		Since newly hatched larval cod rely on soft-bodied microplankton for nutrition during absorption of the yolk-sac, the coincidence of spawning with abundant and palatable microplankton is critical to larval survival and, possibly, recruitment.
		As larval patches are advected around the Bank towards the Southern Flank, insolation and warming of the surface waters induces the water column to stratify with respect to temperature.

		On the central shelf in the 15–200 m depth range about 70% of the bottom trawl catches consisted of pelagic fish and ponyfish and only about 12% were reas demersal species such as snappers, grunts, groupers and mullets.
		The Mozambique shelf was well researched in the period 1977–90 and the consistency of the main results confirms the adequacy of both the methods used and the execution of the programmes.
		A fishery for scads and mackerel with bottom trawls was developed on the Sofala Bank and Boa Paz in the late 1970s and peaked in 1978 with a catch of 17,000 t and declined to 6,000– 7,000 t in the first half of the 1980s.

		Bedford Institute of Oceanography, CA Implications for Georges Bank of hydrographic and circulation variability in the Gulf of Maine and Scotian Shelf regions are discussed, using the historical temperature and salinity database and a diagnostic circulation model (Lynch et al.
		Since Georges Bank currents are dominated by tides, one of the difficulties with the combined space/time character of ADCP data is to extract the tides from the mean and synoptic scale current fields.
		The temperature and salinity fields in 1993 were influenced along the southern edge of the Bank by the close proximity of warm, salty Gulf Stream ring (or Slope) water, and on the Northeast Peak by an intrusion of relatively fresh, cold, low-nutrient and low-chlorophyll surface waters of Scotian Shelf origin.

		Georges bank cod spawn from January through June with eggs being released on the Northeast corner of Georges Bank and moving around the bank in a clockwise pattern.
		The goal of this project was to correlate strontium-calcium ratios (Sr/Ca) to the temperature history of laboratory reared cod larvae and use the information to infer the temperature history of larvae collected on Georges bank and the Scotian shelf.
		With this information, the relative contribution from both the Scotian shelf and Georges bank to the Georges bank population of cod could be estimated and a better understanding of the interaction of the two water masses could be realized.
