In the current world, the usage of car transportation has been increasing rapidly. Adults without proper identity are involved in road transportation, which leads to accidents and becomes a significant concern in our country. World Health Organization surveyed traffic collisions, India has the highest ...
In this paper we propose a data-driven approach to detection and tracking of dark fishing in high-volume marine traffic datasets from vessel tracking services. Dark fishing refers to stealthy fishing operations by vessels trying to hide their illicit activities related to various forms of illegal fishing-one ...
India is the world's second largest country in aquaculture production according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and yet, the Aquaculture industry remains one of the most under explored and relatively unknown to the general public. A large portion of India's aquaculture production is from ...
Precision aquaculture is founded on a set of disparate, interconnected sensors deployed within the marine environment to monitor, analyze, interpret, and provide decision support for farm operations. Recent technological innovations facilitate aquaculture becoming part of the Internet of Things (IoT) ...
The articles in this special section focus on the Internet of Things and agriculture. We are on the verge of a new agricultural revolution. If we look at the extended agricultural sector, intended as the one cultivating plants and farming livestock, with the exception of mechanization and the introduction ...
To enhance the food security of Singapore, the project reported in this article investigated the use of machine learning techniques for yield enhancement of food production. A concept of a knowledge discovery system is proposed, which are general enough to cover agricultural activities ranging from ...
Approximately 2,500 weights and corresponding images of harvested Lates calcarifer (Asian seabass or barramundi) were collected at three different locations in Queensland, Australia. Two instances of the LinkNet-34 segmentation Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) were trained. The first one was trained ...
Coral reefs are vital for marine ecosystem and fishing industry. Automatic classification of corals is essential for the preservation and study of coral reefs. However, significant intra-class variations and inter-class similarity among coral genera, as well as the challenges of underwater illumination ...
The growth rate is a genetic trait that is often recorded in pearl oyster farming for use in selective breeding programs. By tracking the growth rate of a pearl oyster, farmers can make better decisions on which oysters to breed or manage in order to produce healthier offspring and higher quality pearls. ...
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) poses particular concern as an emerging pollutant in both surface and ground waters. Fish, as a natural inhabitant of these waters and being highly representative of vertebrates, represents an ideal animal model to assess the toxic effects of PFOA. Hereby, liver microscopic ...
Hydrophobic/superhydrophobic materials with intrinsic water repellence are highly desirable in engineering fields including anti-icing in aerocrafts, antidrag and anticorrosion in ships, and antifog and self-cleaning in optical lenses, screen, mirrors, and windows. However, superhydrophobic material ...
In the present manuscript, various by-products (heads, trimmings, and frames) generated from salmonids (rainbow trout and salmon) processing were evaluated as substrates for the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs), potentially adequate as protein ingredients of aquaculture feeds. Initially, ...
Aquaculture expansion is limited by the negative environmental impact of the waste and the need for alternative sources in the diet of reared fish. In this framework, for the first time, the survival rates, biomass gain, and fatty acid profiles of the polychaete Sabella spallanzanii and the macroalga ...
This study evaluates the quality of chilled squid Loligo vulgaris by non-destructive measurements of bioelectrical impedance from the first post-mortem day under controlled conditions. Squid samples were stored at 4.5 °C and 55% of relative humidity for 11 days. Impedance magnitude (|Z|) and phase (φ) ...
Mandatory policies are needed to mitigate environmental problems but often elicit resistance if individuals perceive them as freedom restrictions. Encouraging people to take the perspective of individuals who suffer from environmental problems may help increase support. This should especially be the ...
Western boundary currents in the subtropics play a pivotal role in transporting warm water from the tropics that contribute to development of highly diverse marine ecosystem in the coastal regions. As one of the western boundary currents in the North Pacific, the Kuroshio Current (hereafter the Kuroshio) ...
This study shows the potential of improving the taste and shelf life of salmon by storing it in conjunction with sugar kelp. The influence of the addition of wet sugar kelp to Atlantic salmon fillet was assessed using a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics approach. Seaweed treatment caused ...
Abstract Lake anchovy (Coilia ectenes taihuensis) is a sedentary, dominant fish species that forms an unmanaged fishery in Taihu Lake, eastern China. The environment and developmental stage of lake anchovy are likely important drivers of their gut microbiome, which is linked to host health and development. ...
Immersion vaccines are used for a variety of aquacultured fish to protect against infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. During immersion vaccination the antigens are taken up by the skin, gills or gut and processed by the immune system, where the resulting response may lead to protection. ...
Small-scale fisheries (SSFs) have been playing a crucial role in meeting the basic needs of millions of people around the world. Despite this, the sustainability of global fisheries is a growing concern, and the factors enabling or constraining the sustainable management of small-scale fisheries remain ...
