To understand the writing style of the research article, which is also called “Full paper” and the most dominant and distributed style of article in my field, I would like to compare the two respectable papers from different genre in my fields (the research article and the review paper) here. These papers’ full citation is listed below this paragraph. I chose some traits representing difference of two genres; audience and purpose, title, and organization. As I thought grasping organization is important for my study, I would like to describe more detailed features about this section analyzing three segments, section, reference and citation, and table and figure.

The Carlsson et al. (2004) is aimed at well-trained researchers those who have general knowledge in biology and more detailed knowledge in population genetics. Although its target reader is slightly focused on researchers who are specialized in population genetics, its reader is not restricted to them. As this journal is reputable among the population genetics researchers, all biologists can get latest information in this field through reading research articles. As same as the research papers in the other journals, Authors are required to report their new findings clearly and precisely based on their original research showing their abundant...

...umbers of figure and table tends to bigger than research paper due to its large volume: indeed, Fromentin & Powers (2005) has 10 figures.
Although I pointed out difference between two genres in my field, it is common that different journal has different style, especially for the style of reference and citation. Thus, author should read carefully “instructions for authors”, which is distributed by editors of the journal.

Over the years, as the world has evolved, fishing methods were improved as well, and, especially from the 20th century, several changes had forced the way the fishery was done in North Atlantic. As world population was increasing quickly, the cod demand has grown tremendously. New technologies were introduced and thus catch rates of northern cod began to exceed the hazardous limits of the stock’s ability to rebuild. This fact summed with another that will be shown below led to the cod collapse in the Atlantic Canada by the 90’s.

With a coastline of over 202 000 km and over a fourth of the world’s freshwater resources, it is no wonder why Canada’s fishing industry is a huge part of its economy.1 Canada exports more than 75% of its fish to over 130 countries worldwide. Many of the 7 million people who reside on the coast depend on the ocean’s resources. In total, Canada’s entire fishing industry is worth around 5$ billion dollars a year, being one of the world’s most valuable. However, the coasts have not been treated by respect; overfishing, over consumption, and wasteful practices has deteriorated, not only the industry, but the ecosystems and fish populations. This is a huge global issue; the worldwide collapse of fisheries has been project for 2048. Slowly, as the trends continue, we will inevitably see many fish species start to disappear. In fact, the ill-treatment of species on the Canadian border has already devastated a large specie, the cod.

Native Americans and U.S. commercial fisheries started catching Atlantic salmon in the 1600s. The catches in Maine exceeded 90 metric tons in the late 1800s and 45 metric tons in the 1900s. However since 1948, U.S. commercial fisheries have remained closed. For recreational purposes, fishermen have angled Atlantic salmon since 1932. In the Dennys River in Maine,...
Some of the differences between popular and scholarly sources using in research like for instance scholarly sources will not usually have things like pictures or any illustrations but does sometimes contain things like graphs. Popular sources will contain some pictures and illustrations unlike scholarly sources.
Atlantic Cod has been fished for more than 500 years in Canadian waters and it has been an economic and dietary mainstay for many Atlantic Canadian communities. It is a groundfish which feeds on a wide variety of fish and shellfish, including capelin, herring, flounder, mussels and crab. Atlantic Cod was once one of the dominant species in the inshore and offshore waters of Labrador and northeastern Newfoundland, including Grand Bank, having declined 97% since the early 1970s and more than 99% since the early 1960s are now at historically low levels as was reported by the Designated Unit/Federal Protection. The area of occupancy declined considerably as the stock collapsed in the early 1990s. The main cause of the decline in abundance was
In the article, “How to Read and Understand Scientific Research,” the author Chris Kresser explains different kinds of scientific research, how to find the research papers and ways to get a good understanding of the papers. Scientific research can be largely classified into two types- original research and review papers. Original research is established on the researcher’s own conclusions through experimental or observational studies. Whereas, a review paper is built upon others’ research works published previously, with a different perspective on the conclusion. According to Kresser, reading review articles is a good way to begin research on a topic. Because different studies performed, and results deduced by other authors provide a good background

Tuna are apex predators renowned for their high metabolic rates, endothermy, and physiological and biochemical adaptations that allow them to maintain intense exercise for prolonged periods of time. They continue to challenge scientists with these unique adaptations that allow them to circumvent problems trout and other teleosts face. Ironically however, while tuna will not die if they are pushed to swim at extreme speeds for long periods of time, they can perish if they are restrained and prevented from swimming because they must keep moving in order to obtain oxygen and keep blood flowing. It would seem that even tuna are not entirely immune to all of the problems and limitations of exercise in the ocean.
Overfishing is the most major problem related to oceans, but it is also the most overlooked. Fishing has been going on for thousands of years, and fish have always been seen as a renewable resource, that would replenish itself forever for our benefit. But around the world there is evidence that fish are not recove...
Unless the current situation improves, stocks of all organisms that are currently fished for food are predicted to collapse drastically by 2048 (WWF 2.) Briggs emphasizes that over-fishing “has induced population collapses in many species. So instead of having less than a hundred species at risk, as was the case some 30-40 years ago, there are now a thousand or more
