Technological advances, coupled with increasing demands by consumers, have led to a drastic increase in plastic production. After serving their purposes, these plastics reach our water bodies as their destination and become ingested by aquatic organisms. This ubiquitous phenomenon has exposed humans ...
Abstract Health assessments of wildlife species are becoming increasingly important in an ever-changing environment. Kemp’s ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii; hereafter, Kemp’s ridleys) are critically endangered and incur several on-going threats to their population recovery; therefore, it is ...
The lower Columbia River (Washington and Oregon, USA) has been heavily invaded by a large number of planktonic organisms including the invasive copepod Pseudodiaptomus forbesi and the planktonic juveniles of the invasive clam, Corbicula fluminea. In order to assess the ecological impacts of these highly ...
This paper analyzes the method of determining the main dimensions and estimating the power of the main engine in the scheme design of fishing boats, and optimizes the general layout of the main deck of fishing boats. Under the condition of known displacement, maximum speed and total length, the main ...
With the upgrading of tourism consumption demand, the diversification of tourism product supply and the gradual introduction of the 2.5-day vacation system, the micro short vacation tourism mode has begun to enter people’s vision. It is a new form of tourism and a deep excavation of urban tourism resources. ...
Water Hyacinth is an aquatic macrophyte and highly invasive species, indigenous to Amazonia, Brazil and tropical South America. It was first introduced to India in 1896 and has now become and environmental and social nuisance throughout the country in community ponds, freshwater lakes, irrigation channels, ...
Agriculture plays an important role in the livelihood and food security issues of impoverished communities that suffer from minimal development. This study is focused on understanding the challenges faced by an impoverished Musahar community in Ratanpur, Bihar, India. A naturalistic study was conducted ...
In this article, we propose an approach based on deep hierarchical reinforcement learning to help the management of a fishery formalized by a markov game. Two actors, the fishermen seeking to maximize their profit and the decisionmakers seeking to manage the exploitation in the best possible way through ...
While biological crystallization processes have been studied on the microscale extensively, models addressing the mesoscale aspects of such phenomena are rare. In this work, we investigate whether the phase-field theory developed in materials science for describing complex polycrystalline structures ...
This research presents an approach to automatic control of the aquaponics system using an autoML algorithm to improve plant and fish growth and help monitor the system using a cloud platform. Is the process of growing plants and fishes maintain an equilibrium in the system is of importance. Hence water-rich ...
Crops that are cultivated in aquaponics setup highly relies on the nutrients supplied by the aqueous system through fish effluents. Continuous monitoring of essential elemental nutrients requires expensive sensors and arrays of it for full scale deployment. However, sustainable agriculture demands energy ...
According to the needs of the aquaculture industry, this article proposes to design an aquaculture environment monitoring system for collecting temperature, PH, and dissolved oxygen parameters that affect fishery water quality environment, real-time tracking and monitoring, remote transmission and abnormal ...
The Mediterranean Large Marine Ecosystem (Med-LME) is a heterogeneous system that, despite its oligotrophic nature, has high diversity of marine species and high rate of endemism, making it one of the world hotspots for marine biodiversity. The basin is also among the most impacted Large Marine Ecosystems ...
Plastic greenhouses are now widely used in the cultivation of vegetables, fruits, flowers and other crops and aquaculture in coastal areas. The curve shape of the greenhouse skeleton is one of the most important factors affecting the function of the greenhouse. At present, the equipment for bending ...
The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (SEEA AFF) offers the possibility to assess and report detailed accounts for primary industries while establishing important linkages with relevant ecosystem services, in line with the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem ...
Sea cucumbers possess the remarkable capacity to regenerate their body parts or organs. Regeneration of host organs and/or body parts involves reconstruction of the host associated microbiota, however, the dynamics and contribution of microbiota to the regeneration process are largely unknown due to ...
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is among the most important finfish in aquaculture, particularly in Asia. Numerous genetically improved strains of Nile tilapia have been developed and disseminated through formal and informal channels to hatcheries, many of which operate at a relatively small scale ...
Ciguatera poisoning (CP) results from the consumption of seafood contaminated with ciguatoxins (CTXs). This disease is highly prevalent in French Polynesia with several well-identified hotspots. Rapa Island, the southernmost inhabited island in the country, was reportedly free of CP until 2007. This ...
Simple Summary The inclusion of dietary supplements as feed additives in fish feed promotes the growth, immunity, and health of the fish, thereby accomplishing extraordinary outcomes in the net gain of the farm. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of using quinoa seeds ...
Background: Bacteriophages (phages) have been proposed as an alternative to antibiotics and surface disinfectants for treatment of Flavobacterium psychrophilum biofilms and fish infections in aquaculture settings. The aim of the study was to estimate the minimal phage:host ratio (PHR) required for the ...
