Population genetic studies reveal biodiversity patterns and inform about drivers of evolutionary differentiation and adaptation, including gene flow, drift and selection. This can advance our understanding and aid decision making regarding management and conservation efforts. Microsatellites have long ...
Seamounts, often rising hundreds of metres above surrounding seafloor, obstruct the flow of deep-ocean water. While the retention of deep-water by seamounts is predicted from ocean circulation models, its empirical validation has been hampered by large scale and slow rate of the interaction. To overcome ...
The Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (TOAE, Early Jurassic, ~182 Ma ago) was characterised by severe environmental perturbations which led to habitat degradation and extinction of marine species. Warming-induced anoxia is usually identified as main driver, but because marine life was also affected in oxygenated ...
Replacement of fishmeal in feeds is critical for sustainable aquaculture growth. However, replacement with plant protein concentrates reduces fish performance. A rainbow trout strain selected for high performance on a plant protein diet was compared to a non-selected strain to identify physiological ...
Understanding the conditions affecting cyanobacterial biofilm development is crucial to develop new antibiofouling strategies and decrease the economic and environmental impact of biofilms in marine settings. In this study, we investigated the relative importance of shear forces and surface hydrophobicity ...
Abstract Human‐induced climate change and ocean acidification (CC‐OA) is changing the physical and biological processes occurring within the marine environment, with poorly understood implications for marine life. Within the aquaculture sector, molluskan culture is a relatively benign method of producing ...
Air exposure stress is a common phenomenon for commercial crustacean species in aquaculture and during waterless transportation. However, the antioxidant responses to air exposure discussed in previous studies may be insufficient to present the complexities involved in this process. The comprehensive ...
Seafood mislabeling occurs in a wide range of seafood products worldwide, resulting in public distrust, economic fraud, and health risks for consumers. We quantified the extent of shrimp mislabeling in coastal and inland North Carolina. We used standard DNA barcoding procedures to determine the species ...
A boat includes a dash positioned proximate a windshield at a first non-zero angle. A speaker is mounted under a top surface of the dash at a second non-zero angle. The speaker is positioned to direct sound emanating from the speaker through an opening in the dash and the windshield is configured to ...
A boat includes a controller that is communicatively coupled to a control screen. The controller has stored therein a plurality of modes corresponding to an activity and includes a plurality of controls corresponding to the activity. The controller is configured to display on the control screen, when ...
An alert system and method can validate an operator that is sending a targeted alert message. A notification server can receive an emergency message from a client device. The emergency message can include a primary emergency alert and a specification of a geographic area of concern. The notification ...
A survival platform, comprising two flexible outer sheets (4, 5), the outer sheets each having a circumference (2) and being sealed together at their circumferences (2) to define a void (18) therebetween, the survival platform further comprising an inner flexible sheet (6) interposed between the outer ...
An emergency rescue stretcher for removing a victim from a confined space and methods of using the same are provided.
A helmet comprising a shell to at least partially protect the head of a user, and a camcorder integrated into the helmet, provided with at least one lens arranged to view at least a part of the environment surrounding the helmet, the camcorder being provided with a recording activation/deactivation ...
Sperm whales interact with commercially important groundfish fisheries offshore in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This study aims to use stable isotope analysis to better understand the trophic variability of sperm whales and their potential prey, and to use dietary mixing models to estimate the importance ...
Animal–robot studies can inform us about animal behaviour and inspire advances in agriculture, environmental monitoring and animal health and welfare. Currently, experimental results on how fish are affected by the presence of underwater robots are largely limited to laboratory environments with few ...
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus was found in a seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, China. WHO officially named this coronavirus as COVID-19. Since the first patient was hospitalized on December 12, 2019, China has reported a total of 78,824 confirmed CONID-19 cases and 2,788 deaths as of February ...
Disclosed herein is an apparatus for farming oysters and, in particular, intertidal oysters. The apparatus comprises a float, at least one oyster container configured to hold oysters and be carryable on the float, and a driver operable to periodically move each of the at least one oyster container between ...
The present invention relates to a method for detecting a school of fish with a fish observation watercraft, wherein an autonomous underwater vehicle is selected as the fish observation watercraft, the method comprising the following steps: a) detecting a school of fish; approaching the school of fish, ...
