What is one characteristic of mercantilism from the perspective of the colony

1 answer:

8 0

Mercantilism is the economic system established between a colony and a colonial power, where the natural resources found in the colony are used in the mother country to produce complex goods. An example of this would be how a colony would be advised not to create oil refineries to refine the oil into gasoline. This would mean that gasoline, the product of refined oil, would be imported to the colony once refined elsewhere. Thus, they would depend on foreign economic activity to meet local needs.

How do Taiji fisherman use the acoustic nature of dolphins as a tool to catch them? What happens to the cought dolphins?

diamong [38]

Taiji is a coastal village in Japan notorious for its widely criticized dolphins and whales hunt. The animals are driven into a small bay where they can be killed or captured for their meat and for sale to dolphinariums.

When a group ( pod ) od dolphins has been spotted, fishing boats move into position. Fishermen hold large poles under water and bang them with hammers to create a wall of sound that disorientates the animals and causes them to swim towards the shore. This is done at strategic points around the pod in an effort to herd them towards the land. The dolphins' sonar system is thus disturbed.

In the cove, mothers dolphins and their babies are separated by ropes, some are tied, some injure themselves while panicking, some die from stress and exhaustion.They are left in the cove overnight to calm down.

The following day, the fishermen enter the bay and the dolphins are caught one by one. They are killed by driving a metal pin into their neck which causes them to die quickly. The killing used to be done by slashing their throats but this method of killing has been banned by the Japanese government.
