Questions

• 1) Where can I get a good overview of the fishing
  industry in the Philippines?
• 2) From a biodiversity map, name the types of
  species by climate zone
• 3) Where would I find authoritative information
  about sport fishing destinations in exotic
  countries (hint print sources are the easiest)
• 4) Where can I find aquaculture production
  statistics on Germany?
• 5) What is the taxonomic name of salmon lice?
  (hint you may need to search by the singular
  form of lice ie. louse). Find a citation on
  salmon lice in wild salmon
