Initially, this is essential to find out that both networks are managed by Facebook and this is difficult to imagine that Facebook bought Instagram for a huge $1 billion six years ago.

Being that, (mostly) they run as distinct different platforms and represent various roles, so it is crucial for brands to consider this when they coordinate their marketing objectives and determine which platform to rely on.

And when you get away from yourself and move on one or more social media sites for your company, it’s important to set your companies’ business objectives first.

If you haven’t set targets and priorities for your communications campaign, it’s a lot more difficult to exploit these social networks to their maximum ability. By implementing these methods now, you will be setting yourself up for success, while also growing your following in the process.

Throughout this article, we’re going to look at Facebook and Instagram, about which of the two social networking forums is perfect for your business.

Facebook:

Facebook now has more than 2.5 billion active users per month, and there is no question that more and more organizations are using Facebook for their corporate marketing activities. In such an enormous community on the business, Facebook is certainly a forum that many are aspiring to be active on.

You may be well informed, though, that Facebook has been via a number over the last few years. And no matter if you prefer Facebook or Instagram, they both allow for hashtag usage.

With the propaganda controversy that Facebook confronted a few years back, as well as media and public attention, what does that suggest for the development of marketing? While Facebook moves on the journey to survival, the marketing strategy is just getting better.

Advantages of Facebook:

●      Grow Brand Awareness

Are you trying to develop your digital presence? See no deeper, for improved brand recognition, is one of the many advantages that come with selecting Facebook for your brand.

Facebook will help you develop your commitment to your company. And more than 2.5 billion people on this site, there are countless ways to meet a larger audience. As a result, improved brand recognition means more (possible) clients!

●      Efficient Targeting

The interesting advantage of the Facebook company is that it helps you to approach particular audiences. This is especially helpful when you establish targeting advertising or considering improving your Facebook posts.

When you’re trying to expand your follow-up and meet a broader client base, Facebook helps you to set unique criteria and goals by country, ethnicity, age, social behavior, and more than everything else you can think up!

Disadvantages of Facebook

●      Time and Resources

It takes time to set up a Facebook page for your company. Also in the initial phases, you can’t ask people to like you or join your page straight away.

Bear in mind that you’re going to have what you put in. All this said, it still takes time to manage your Facebook business page.

This is not as quick as you imagine, and you need to take into account that someone who handles your Facebook page is informed about the site. You may have to understand recruiting someone who has the expertise to shift your marketing activities forward to Facebook.

●      Budget

If you’d like to allow the most of Facebook for your businesses and move your social media marketing to the next level, throwing away the allotted budget to invest in Facebook advertising is important.

It is also essential to consider that social advertising can be a component of the business technique.

Instagram:

This is amazing to see how much Instagram has grown over the last few years. These days, ever more corporations are using Instagram as a way to extend their social media platforms.

Instagram released an Enterprise Account in 2016, offering business users with resources to help them appreciate their existing and potential clients.

As per Instagram, there are more than 25 million business profiles globally, of which 200 million Instagrammers view at least one business profile every day, and this figure continues to grow.

In addition, more than 2 million brands are now using Instagram to post their stories and improve their marketing outcomes.

Advantages of Instagram:

●      Visuals

Instagram is exclusively a visual network and is one of the attributes that distinguishes Instagram from other social media platforms. Instagram is exclusively made up of photographs and videos, allowing you the chance to begin your business models.

Video content in particular becomes extremely common with Instagram right now – so popular that there has been an 80 percent spike in the time spent viewing video Instagram posts.

●      Improve Brand Awareness

Like Facebook, Instagram lets companies boost their brand recognition. The use of hashtags is increasingly common and is one of the guiding influences for corporations and products seeking to be noticed by a larger audience.

There is no question that Instagram has experienced a range of changes and introduced advanced functionality one by one in recent times.

Features such as Instagram Stories and IGTV offer companies more ways to advertise their name, service, or product.

Disadvantages of Instagram:

  • Algorithm of Instagram

Instagram’s evolving algorithm has created a lot of complicated emotions over the last few years. As highlighted on Quora, here are some

It is one of the biggest challenges that you may experience if you plan to follow this social media site for your business.

Whenever the algorithm shifts, you may need to re-evaluate and adapt the current Instagram plan (e.g. when to post).

Also, there are many other weaknesses of Instagram such as driving web traffic issues, etc.

So, which social platform is best?

And at the end of this article, there is no better forum than the other. Instagram and Facebook both have advantages and disadvantages. The real answer and best way to decide which is best, is to simply know where your target audience is located.

In the end, it all boils down to which of the two channels you believe best suits your marketing approach and your company targets and strategies.

In the era of modern packaging, the appearance of your boxes can either break your consumer’s heart or fill it with joy. Every product in this world is in their particular places because of all the small components that worked together to make it a whole experience. Similarly, successful packaging is obtained with its primary pillars; structure, representation and typeface.

The typeface is a scheme of lettering that embraces variations, namely bold, italic, regular and condensed, etc. And, typography basically is a strategy of arranging letters. It plays a crucial role in making your packaging quintessential. Many people fail to notice this detail and suffer in the market, but having the perfect typeface will reflect your brand’s individuality in the market.

It makes it simple for you and your customers to gauge whether your business will work and the product is worth buying, respectively.

Typography has its own world of language, full of gadzooks, swashes and serifs. We will not dive into the complex terminologies and would focus on the type of typeface best for the packaging. Please read them carefully and decide what would look good during the customization of kraft gable boxes, or any other box for that matter.

Know that there are five categories of typeface with their unique traits. To make your packaging a visual treat, we are recommending the following fonts:

Serif Typeface

This style has short strokes or lines at the end of letters, known as serifs. Hence, the name of this style is explained. You might have seen it in your newspaper, books, on the internet or in your document. This typeface is popular for increasing the readability and reading speed, and articulates a historic and traditional design.

Serif represents elegance and maturity for the reader and would put your product in the limelight if coated with foil stamping or embossing finishing methods. It makes your packaging look luxurious. You can adjust the font size according to your item to set the mood.

Sans Serif Typeface

The difference between serif typeface and sans serif typeface is that the latter does not support those extended strokes. It is a simple and contemporary style that excludes the unnecessary details. It can afford lively, amicable or even premium looks. You must have seen many brands using this font, especially Samsung, D&G and Nintendo, etc. It shows that from the gadget companies to fashion brands, everyone is using it to create a minimalist and state-of-the-art look for their business.

Script Typeface

This style evokes the memories of classic handwritten letters because of its varied, fluid strokes. You would be surprised to know that some script fonts link letterforms – the shape of a letter – while the other ones exhibit diverse stroke weights. It is multipurpose as you can use it for both casual and formal lettering, depending on the strokes and flourishing you prefer. You must have seen it on greeting cards or invites, etc.

As mentioned before, it is a player of various fashions, as KitKat uses it in a cool manner to give a chocolaty and vigorous vibe. In contrast, others have often used it to display their company’s aesthetic side.

Monospaced Typeface

It is the most disciplined typeface as each character stands at equal space, width and angle from the next one, whereas other classes can have varying means. It includes having both serifs and san serifs. It is also known as fixed-patch, fixed-width or non-proportional font.

It was made to cater to the needs of typewriters but it has occupied its place in the system programming. Regarding packaging, many retailers do not avail this typeface as it requires proper space. Nonetheless, you can use it for short texts or at certain places to make your name and other material distinctive.

Display Typeface

We would like our readers to guess for what you can use display typeface? Hint: Its use lies in its name. Yes, display typeface is used for display objectives. It is pretty versatile and can take the form of other classes as well.

They are not best for body texts, since it lowers the readability, but they are the best for headings and prominent details, such as titles. It is an attention-grabber and will do wonders for your packaging.

It is pertinent to mention that you also have to reflect on the type of material you are using because some coatings or material can blemish your boxes by spreading the ink or decreasing the typeface quality that can send an unpleasant message to the customer.

This world is so vast and no one knows where it ends, so you are going to discover something new at the end of every road. Choosing the right typeface style will take your brand to the heavens and will present you with a unique and loveable personality. Do not just create packaging but create memories with your style.

Always aim for bigger dreams; the same is true with your business. The bigger your ideas and the more motivation you have, the better your business will grow. But in reality, your wise mind and your financial capability will contribute to the success of your business, and it is one of the most crucial parts that limit many entrepreneurs.

To build your business dreams, there are plenty of financial resources that you may consider. One of the most helpful is preparing yourself for early stage VC funds. It is popularly known as a favourable funding option for some business owners or companies.

Get to know more about VC funds

A venture capital fund is usually being controlled or managed by an individual or a small group of people. They are generally referred to as venture capitalists. VC funds are generally the funds that are flowing and circulating in a business or a company. The fund is not regarded as a loan, but rather, it is in the form of investment.

Venture capitalists will provide such investments, but in return, they will require a relatively high amount of return. Mostly, it is also secured by reasonable and substantial ownership or a position in the business itself. This reason is why VC funds are also referred to as risk capital since there is a risk of losing the money most, especially if the early-stage business did not successfully manage to grow.

Are you ready for early-stage VC funds?

There are a variety of instances that can be considered as a basis for you to know if you are ready for early stage VC funds. However, the majority of the venture capitalists will most likely be your partner if you already have a minimum viable product and customers.

How will you get a VC Fund?

When you are already done considering all of the factors that are crucial for having an early-stage VC fund, it is also essential for you to make sure that you know the process on how to pursue a VC fund. Here is the process that you will most likely to go through:

  • You must have a great business idea.

Your early-stage business must be competitive, highly scalable, and it must dominate among all of the businesses. VC funds will indeed be given to those who have a clear purpose and idea in mind.

  • It would help if you met with the venture capitalists to secure financing for your business.

Sending emails to your venture capitalists might be an excellent way to potentially earn and score a meeting with them. You need to have a clear target so you can lay down your network assets to attract potential VC funds.

  • You must be patient and diligent in pursuing a VC fund.

It is possible that everything will not go very well at your first meeting with venture capitalists. You will have to take part in a series of meetings. It will also require a lot of patience and a plentiful amount of diligence before you were able to pursue it.

  • You must have a clear terms sheet with all of the details of the agreement.

Once that you are already able to come up with an agreement with your VC partner, it is not time for you to have a clear term sheet. The terms sheet will lay out all of the details of the agreement. It is a proposed deal and is a negotiable document. Meaning to say, both parties must agree with it.

Aim bigger, aim higher

With the help of a reasonable amount of VC funds, you can grow your business to the level in which you see it on your mind. Set up your goals, aim bigger and aim higher. No one should hinder you from growing.

6 Top Superfoods in Vegan Protein Powder https://liistudio.com/6-top-superfoods-in-vegan-protein-powder/47974/ Thu, 24 Dec 2020 09:12:05 +0000 https://liistudio.com/?p=47974 Are you looking for the healthiest protein supplement? If so, you should consider ones that have superfoods in…

The post 6 Top Superfoods in Vegan Protein Powder appeared first on Liist Studio.

Are you looking for the healthiest protein supplement? If so, you should consider ones that have superfoods in the ingredients list. Such protein powder options are loaded with extra vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the nutrient-rich healthy foods. Different categories also provide various health benefits, which are ideal for functions like pre-workout, energy boosts, and weight loss.

Here are some good superfoods to look for in vegan protein powder:

  1. Pea Protein

This is one of the most popular plant-based protein sources added to powders. Manufacturers add pea protein from the yellow pea variety.

Soybeans and peas are often considered as superfoods because they include all nine essential amino acids (EAAs) that humans must obtain from food and supplements since the body doesn’t produce them naturally. Peas are:

  • Vegan/Vegetarian
  • Low-calorie
  • High-iron
  • High-fibre
  • Allergy-friendly
  1. Maca Root

This root crop is less known than other options like potatoes and turnips but has been trending in recent years. Past studies show that maca might provide energy boosts and longer stamina, which could benefit athletes and weightlifters.

Maca is also known as ‘Peruvian ginseng’. The main edible part is the root and is usually dried then converted into powder form. One ounce of maca root contains 4 g protein, 20 g carbs, and about 135% recommended daily intake (RDI) of Vitamin C.

  1. Cacao Powder

This is a more natural source of chocolate flavour than cocoa powder. Dark chocolate products are usually classed as such when they have at least 80% raw cacao.

Cacao beans not only provide chocolate flavour but also various nutrients, including antioxidants and healthy fat. Cacao powder is usually defined as ground-up pods and beans.

This differs from cocoa powder, which removes the fat from the ground chocolate beans. The problem is the beans contain heart-friendly “monounsaturated fat.”

Cacao beans are processed using several steps, including:

  • Fermentation
  • Drying
  • Roasting
  • Crushing
  • Grinding

What makes the cacao powder special is that it is processed much less than the ingredients found in products like chocolate bars and instant drinks.

  1. Cinnamon Powder

While cinnamon is a popular flavouring substance, natural and organic cinnamon powder is the real thing. Cinnamon is added to several foods like cinnamon buns, apple pies, and oatmeal. Companies also sometimes add it to protein-based powders for extra nutrients.

The natural spice has several health benefits that can help athletes, including:

  • Contains Antioxidants
  • Anti-inflammation
  • Heart-friendly
  • Good for Brain health
  • Anti-diabetes

When comparing powered proteins, you should look for real “Ceylon” cinnamon. The reason is the cheaper Cassia variety is high in a chemical compound that might be unhealthy in big doses.

  1. Vanilla Bean

While many products contain vanilla flavouring, the most natural sources are real vanilla beans. Real vanilla beans are sometimes added to protein supplements to add vanilla flavouring.

This superfood also seems to provide several health benefits based on past studies. This includes heart health, antioxidants, anti-inflammation, and mood-booster.

  1. Mesquite Powder

This protein is produced from mesquite trees. Mesquite flour is made from dried or ground pods and seeds of the tree native to Mexico and the Southwestern United States.

Mesquite powder provides various health benefits. It is high in protein, scores low in glycemic index (GI), and is a gluten substitute for foods like bread. The pods provide a sweet taste due to the fructose sugars.

If you want to boost the nutritional value of your protein powder, consider ones with the above-mentioned healthy foods. When companies combine the beans, roots, and stems of superfoods with high-protein ingredients, they become extra healthier.

Do’s and Don’ts of Attending Gin Tasting in a Sydney Bar https://liistudio.com/dos-and-donts-of-attending-gin-tasting-in-a-sydney-bar/47971/ Thu, 24 Dec 2020 08:57:40 +0000 https://liistudio.com/?p=47971 Sydney’s tourism is anchored on its natural wonders and architectural marvels.

Sydney’s tourism is anchored on its natural wonders and architectural marvels. International visitors fly to Sydney to get their selfies at the iconic Sydney Opera House or the St. Mary’s Cathedral. They would probably also want to experience the Outback or swim at Bondi Beach and cross off their bucket list. However, in the undercurrent, there is one tourism that nobody talks much about–urban distilleries.

You may be familiar with the activity of wine tasting, but you are probably not aware that you can also have a gin tasting at a gin bar Sydney. The purpose is the same, which is to introduce you to different types and brands of the spirits.

However, if you are interested in experiencing gin tasting, here are some of the basic etiquettes that you should follow:

  • Don’t slug down your drink. The event is meant to enhance your experience and show you how to taste gin as it is meant to be enjoyed. It is not a place to get drunk.
  • Do be patient. The entire experience can run for at least two hours, and there is a reason for that. The gin bar does not unnecessarily complicate the process to annoy the guests. Each step will lead to another step, and so on. Again, the reason is to let you soak in the experience.
  • Do follow the instructions from the host. The host may tell you to swirl the gin around your mouth to trigger your taste buds.
  • Do not wear a strong fragrance. A large part of tasting gin comes from the nose. You will be taking away from the experience of the other guests if you have a very dominant perfume on you.
  • Do follow the dress code. There is something to be said about wearing a suit and tie or a formal dress to an occasion. While gin tasting is not as formal as wine tasting events, some bars may require guests to follow the theme.
  • Do try to eat something. You can skip the step if the host assures that there would be food at the event. But if you are a lightweight, it is recommended to put food in your stomach first. As you know, the food will slow down the effects of alcohol, which will prevent you from getting drunk. The host will provide the food in the hopes of enhancing the experience. Certain types of food may enhance the gin’s taste.
  • Do take note of the type of gin you like during the tasting event. Some of the brands may surprise you because you have never tasted them before, and you always stick with Gordon’s or Gin Rose when buying gin.
  • Do ask questions. The host will encourage a free-flow of ideas to keep the event fun and casual. It is an opportunity for you to ask your nagging questions when it comes to gin.
  • Do have fun. It is a gin tasting event, and the host is serving alcohol in front of you. But remember your social etiquettes. It is not the place to be boisterous. Alcohol is never an excuse to be rowdy and spoil everyone’s fun.

It is not at all unethical to spit out the alcohol during the tasting event at a gin bar in Sydney. They may even provide you with a bucket just for this reason. Keep in mind, you are attending a gin tasting event, and it is not the right time to get intoxicated.

Australia is the world’s 6th largest country, with a population of 26 million. It is made of the Australian continent, Tasmanian Island and other smaller islands.

The country’s capital is Canberra with Sydney as its largest city. Additionally, Australia has four main metropolitan areas: Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth.

Australia is a wealthy country, and its economy is the 14th largest in the world and the 10th highest per capita income. It is getting most of its income from different sources, such as telecommunications, mining-related exports, manufacturing, international education, and banking.

The culinary world recognizes Australia for its fusion food, thanks to its strong history of migration that built its nation. Moreover, Australians are known for their love of beer. They drink more beer than anyone else in the world.

A little tip in between. Drinking beer with high alcohol content in large quantities can present you with a nasty hangover the next morning. But all those beer lovers have the alternative of mid-strength beer which only contains 2.8 to 3.8% of alcohol content. So, you can have that extra gulp without worrying about the hangover. With that in mind, if you are in a restaurant, you might want to enjoy a pint of the favourite mid-strength beer in Australia.

Beer has always been a great match for any food due to its flavour complexity. It provides refreshment and interacts with many flavours of food. It is great before meals as it can turn your appetite on.

However, there are types of food that taste better when matched with your favourite beer. Make sure you’ll have the following dishes the next time you get some beer.

Cheese, Pizza, Sandwiches

Normally, we pair cheese with wine. However, most cheese lovers are not aware that beer goes fantastic with cheese! Wine covers up some of the flavours from cheese. On the other hand, the beer’s carbonation can remove the fats of cheese from the palate, creating a lighter acidity.

Regardless of whether it is pure cheese, sandwich, pizza, or whatever cheese dish it is, any beer would be a great companion.

Seafood, Chicken, Pasta

You can Buy hard chicken , salads, fish, or pasta, which are best with beer. However, you don’t want your beer to overpower their taste. Therefore, it’s good to choose a mid-strength to light beer for these dishes.

Fried Foods and Fries

Generally, fries have this light flavour profile that makes it perfect with beer. So, if you are going to eat any salty fried foods, like fries, always ask for a beer as it can cleanse your taste buds while retaining the salty flavour and enhancing the taste of your food.

Roasted Meats, Burgers, and Steaks

Steaks are also known to be the best pair for red wines. However, beers can balance the taste of larger meats. The secret is to find a beer that matches the meat. You need to balance the aromatic bitter hops and sweet malt.

Spicy Food

Any spicy dishes, such as buffalo wings, Szechuan Chicken, spicy Thai, and Mexican food go best with lagers or anything with hops, cutting down the spicy taste in food. Lagers work like milk when you are eating spicy dishes. The flavour of hops goes through the spiciness in peppers and chillies, enhancing the flavour of the beer without coating your tongue.

These are some of the dishes that go very well with the brew. So, the next time you are planning to chug a pint of mid-strength beer in Australia, remember some of these dishes that are surely available anywhere in the country.

You can also try other dishes to find out more food and beer combinations. After all, Australia’s flavours are so diverse. There’s no doubt you can find tons of food to pair with your favourite beer.

Although it is a traditionally preferred garment, it is still worn by brides today. The latest wedding sarees collection boasts of numerous designs that reflect the contemporary choice of pattern and color.

Chettinad silk:

Modern brides today prefer comfort over tradition, Chettinad and soft silk are the answer to their prayers. Heavy silk sarees may be tiring to wear the entire day. It is heavy and stiff and sometimes uncomfortable for some.

Chettinad silk has its roots in the Sivaganga, TamilNadu. Admirers love its soft, light-weight texture, which is with traditional and more recently, modern designs.

Mysore Silk

It is again a light-weight fabric that is breathable and provides comfort for the wearer. It flows with the body and causes no restrictions to bodily movements. It is perfect for the bride who dances her way into the mandapam and loves taking exceptional photographs.

There are several options for a plain silk saree in this variety, for brides who would like their outfit to be minimalist yet classy.

Ikat Silk

It is otherwise known by the name Pochampally silk. It is obtained from the lands of Andhra, offering the beauty of the traditional tie and dye technique. It sports unique geometrical patterns and abstract designs obtained by a method that weaves intricate patterns into the yarn. It is an eye-grabber if a bride is looking for that quality in her outfit.

Ilkal Silk:

Its origins lay in Karnataka, with geometric patterns arranged differently than its counterparts. The prints are focused more on the body of the saree rather than on the border. Gaadi, Jari (Zari), and Paraspet are some of the varieties of the borders seen in this variety.

Gadwal Silk:

This silk is an expression of the beauty of colors and exhibits sheer intricacy in craftsmanship. Artisans make it with a unique combination of cotton and silk weaved together, employing a one-of-a-kind technique called Kuttu.

The entire six yards of a Gadwal silk saree can fit into a tiny space the size of an average matchbox when folded. Isn’t it fascinating? It is compact and light-weight, which is the ideal combination for long-hour wear.

Choosing a saree for other special occasions:

Special Events:

Special events are occasions where it is a must to dress-up. Adhering to a dress code shows respect and reflects dignity. While wearing a classic Kanjeevaram silk might be perfect for a Kacheri (classical music concert), modern soft silk might be more appropriate for a business after-party.

Choose the pattern and color selectively depending on the occasion. If one does not want to draw much attention, choose light colors and subtle prints. On the other hand, when one wants to be the center of attention, go ahead and flaunt that red and gold, heavily embellished silk saree.

For Work:

Professions teaching in India require teachers to wear sarees. Soft silk and Ikat sarees are ideal for a workspace that requires putting in hours together. For such occasions, comfort should be the priority as it could affect one’s productivity.

Conclusion:

The apparel that deserves the most attention is undoubtedly the wedding saree; new models boast of inventive patterns and motifs that the modern-day bride will be in awe of wearing.

Swordfish is one of Multifariousness.coma’s bestsellers and for good reason – it’s meaty and delicious, and easy to cook. Our Head of Quality Control, Robert Gregorian, shares more about this fast and fascinating fish.

Swordfish, Morphiagladiolas, also called Billboards in some places, are highly migratory fish, can tolerate a wide range of ocean temperatures, and are found all over the world. They are typically in the 10 ft range, but some specimens have been found over 15 ft and weighing over 1400 lbs. That’s a huge fish, folks. And powerful.

Adult swordfish can swim at 50 mph! Their sword is usually around 1/3 the length of their bodies and swordfish aren’t afraid to use it. They swim into a school of fish and use the sword to slash at their prey, wounding as many as possible before turning back to swallow up as much as they can. Because of their wide range swordfish have a diverse diet, even though adult swordfish have no teeth. They are predominately fish eaters, all kinds of fish with a lot of squid thrown in. Sword stomachs have been found to contain haddock, cod, squid, bluefish, herring, etc. as well as offshore deepwater fish such as viperfish, hatchetfish and lanternfish. These offshore fish are typically found at 150 fathoms (900 feet), but swordfish will go as deep as 2000 ft or more in their search for food.

Like almost all fish, swordfish are cold blooded, with one important improvement. They have something called countercurrent exchangers – specialized blood vessel structures – which allow them to warm their eyes and brains. This is an important advantage when hunting in deep, cold water, allowing them to see more clearly and react faster.

As we said, adult swordfish can grow very large and powerful, and because of their size, speed and power adult fish have few predators. Pods of Killer Whales sometimes target the lone swordfish, and some large, offshore sharks such as the Short fin Mako may pursue them. Sometimes these predators are successful, sometimes not. Dead or dying Orcas and Makos have been found with broken off swords in their heads, revealing the very real danger of desiring swordfish for dinner even for these apex predators. A 1,000 lb fish, with a 4-5 foot sword, swimming at them at 50 mph is the last thing many fish see.

The keto diet is a very low carbohydrate, high fat diet that is believed to have various health benefits. It involves a drastic reduction in carbohydrates and replacing it with fat. This reduction puts the body in a metabolic state called ketosis where the body uses fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates.

Due to these risks, individuals with diabetes, kidney disease, heart or bone ailments should speak to their doctor before trying the keto diet. Consult a dietitian to plan balanced meals to help minimise risks of complications and nutrient deficiencies.

Swordfishing Swordfish Techniques & Strategies

The deep-drop swordfishing technique is performed by trolling over significant bottom structures like pinnacles and seamounts located in deep sea canyons throughout the Gulf Stream. High-quality boat electronics are essential and constant communication between captain and angler is required to keep the bait in the strike zone while trolling.

With the boat moving, the angler starts the fishing process by dropping the baited rig straight down into the water using the controls on the electric reel to manage speed. After all 150 feet of the monofilament leader is out, the lead stick weight is clipped on and the drop is continued.

When letting out the first 500 feet of braided line, the angler pauses for a few seconds every 100 feet to let any slack in the line work itself out. During this time, the captain regulates boat speed to maintain a vertical line angle into the water.

After 500 feet of line has gone out, the bait is allowed to freefall to the bottom. As soon as the angler feels the weight hit the bottom, it is reeled into the “strike zone”—anywhere from 40 to 100 feet off the bottom.

Adjustment of Swordfish General Commercial Permit Vessel Retention Limits

The 2020 North Atlantic swordfish fishing year, which is managed on a calendar-year basis and divided into two equal semi-annual quotas for the directed fishery, will begin on January 1, 2020. Landings attributable to the Swordfish General Commercial permit count against the applicable semi-annual directed fishery quota. Regional default retention limits for this permit have been established and are automatically effective from January 1 through December 31 each year, unless changed based on the inseason regional retention limit adjustment criteria at § 635.24(b)(4)(iv). The default retention limits established for the Swordfish General Commercial permit are: (1) Northwest Atlantic region—three swordfish per vessel per trip; (2) Gulf of Mexico region—three swordfish per vessel per trip; (3) U.S. Caribbean region—two swordfish per vessel per trip; and, (4) Florida Swordfish Start Printed Page 15 Management Area—zero swordfish per vessel per trip. The default retention limits apply to Swordfish General Commercial permitted vessels and to HMS Charter/Headboat permitted vessels with a commercial endorsement when fishing on non-for-hire trips. As a condition of these permits, vessels may not possess, retain, or land any more swordfish than is specified for the region in which the vessel is located.

Under § 635.24(b)(4)(iii), NMFS may increase or decrease the Swordfish General Commercial permit vessel retention limit in any region within a range from zero to a maximum of six swordfish per vessel per trip. Any adjustments to the retention limits must be based upon a consideration of the relevant criteria provided in § 635.24(b)(4)(iv), which include: (A) The usefulness of information obtained from biological sampling and monitoring of the North Atlantic swordfish stock; (B) the estimated ability of vessels participating in the fishery to land the amount of swordfish quota available before the end of the fishing year; (C) the estimated amounts by which quotas for other categories of the fishery might be exceeded; (D) effects of the adjustment on accomplishing the objectives of the fishery management plan and its amendments; (E) variations in seasonal distribution, abundance, or migration patterns of swordfish; (F) effects of catch rates in one region precluding vessels in another region from having a reasonable opportunity to harvest a portion of the overall swordfish quota; and, (G) review of dealer reports, landing trends, and the availability of swordfish on the fishing grounds.
