Nutrition is important in achieving total fitness because it involves eating the right balances of vitamins, minerals and fiber which are essential in maintaining fitness. In addition to physical exercise, nutrition is important in improving overall health and maintaining the right and appropriate weight. When it comes to total fitness, one must take care of the body, mind and spirit and nutrition is part of taking care of the body and mind.
This type of study method is referred to as:__________Genomics
Explanation:
Genomics involves the mapping of all genes of an organism – this is called the genome.In addition, genomics is the study of the structure of this genome, how it functions/interactions and evolves over time. The <em>-omics</em> suffix is used to signify ‘ in totality’. This study involves the use of equipment like the high throughput DNA sequencers that sequence DNA. Genomic can be used to diagnose and study genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis & Huntington’s disease.
In sardine fishing, the net is typically laid around the shoal and tightened like a bag. The net is then retrieved slowly to the side of the vessel and the fish are brought aboard. In the case of the Marazion deaths, the vessels involved will be relatively small and have limited storage space so keeping everything balanced is crucial. If by sheer bad luck the net encircled a shoal of fish that was larger than the skipper realised, the boat is immediately put in a dangerous situation. A large catch on one side of the vessel will create an imbalance that will make it much more prone to capsizing when in rough seas. A fisherman died off the coast of nearby Devon in 2012 when his heavily-laden trawler capsized in similar circumstances.
Therefore if the catch is physically too large to retrieve, the vessel would have no choice other than to release the bottom of the net so that the catch falls away.
So surely the fish will swim off? Sadly not in this case. Many midwater species like sardines and mackerel are quite delicate and vulnerable to damage due to the high number of fish caught in the net. In this instance the sardines would most likely likely have been incapacitated as a result of being hauled to the side of the vessel, and when released from the net they would have been washed ashore with the action of tide and waves.
