Spinal anomalies are a recognised source of downgrading in finfish aquaculture, but identifying their cause(s) is difficult and often requires extensive knowledge of the underlying pathology. Late-onset spinal curvatures (lordosis, kyphosis, scoliosis) can affect up to 40% of farmed New Zealand Chinook ...
Maritime wireless communication establishment in the seas of Indonesia has already been under investigation. It is useful for supporting some activities in the sea, such as monitoring and surveillance, fishery, and exploration. Propagation characteristics in maritime environment is different from one ...
The olfactory organs of fish have vital functions for chemosensory and defence. Though there have been some ground-breaking discoveries of their involvement in immunity against pathogens in recent years, little is known about how they respond to non-infectious agents, such as exogenous oxidants, which ...
A microalgae membrane bioreactor (MMBR) with internal circulating fluidized bed (ICFB) was constructed at room temperature to study the removal efficiency of marine aquaculture wastewater pollutants and continuously monitor the biomass of microalgae. Within 40 days of operation, the removal efficiency ...
Modular system of drying humid material, comprising a drier housing(100) having a material inlet (101) and outlet (104), a drying gas inlet(106) and outlet (105), a particle separator (103; 600) downstream of drier housing (100). Drier housing (100) comprises drying chambers (108', 108''). The system ...
A bite alarm for sensing a bite on a fishing line of a fishing rod, and a line tension sensor. The bite alarm comprising: a housing, and a line movement sensor assembly. The line movement sensor assembly comprising: a moveable member, anchored relative to the housing at a first end, and movable relative ...
The present disclosure relates a system for the treatment of water. The water treatment system may be linked an aquatic protection system or a water filtration system.
Southern sea otters have been actively managed for their conservation and recovery since listing on the federal Endangered Species Act in 1977. Still, they remain constrained to a geographically small area on the central coast of California relative to their former coast-wide range, with population ...
We present estimates of the seasonal and spatial occupation by pinnipeds of the Wildlife Refuge of Ilha dos Lobos (WRIL), based on aerial photographic censuses. Twenty aerial photographic censuses were analysed between July 2010 and November 2018. To assess monthly differences in the numbers of pinnipeds ...
The maritime boundary between countries is an area that are easily accessible by foreign nationals. The limited human resources as a security of the boundaries along with the very large sea area is the main problem in maintaining the discipline of maritime law in Indonesia, therefore a ship robot can ...
The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea; takatakiaq in Inuttitut) breeds in the circumpolar Arctic and undertakes the longest known annual migration. In recent decades, Arctic Tern populations have been declining in some parts of their range, and this has been a cause of concern for both wildlife managers ...
Despite increasing threats to Tonga’s coral reefs from stressors that are both local (e.g. overfishing and pollution) and global (e.g. climate change), there is yet to be a systematic assessment of the status of the country’s coral reef ecosystem and reef fish fishery stocks. Here, we provide a national ...
Parasite resistance traits in aquaculture species often have moderate heritability, indicating the potential for genetic improvements by selective breeding. However, parasite resistance is often synonymous with an undesirable negative correlation with body size. In this study, we first tested the feasibility ...
Administration of β-glucans through various routes, including immersion, dietary inclusion, or injection, have been found to stimulate various facets of immune responses, such as resistance to infections and resistance to environmental stress. β-Glucans used as an immunomodulatory food supplement have ...
Reef-building corals rely on both heterotrophy and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate autotrophy to meet their metabolic needs. Those looking to culture these organisms for scientific or industrial purposes must therefore consider both feeding regimes and the light environment. Herein the effects of three ...
Abstract Although the phenomenon of termite fishing by chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) has historical and theoretical importance for primatology, we still have a limited understanding of how chimpanzees accomplish this activity, and in particular, about details of skilled actions and the nature of individual ...
The present review draws together wide-ranging studies performed over the last decades that catalogue the effects of artificial-light-at-night (ALAN) upon living species and their environment. We provide an overview of the tremendous variety of light-detection strategies which have evolved in living ...
As a result of their significant importance and applications in vast areas, including oil and gas, building construction, offshore structures, ships, and bridges, coating materials are regularly exposed to harsh environments which leads to coating delamination. Therefore, optimum interfacial bonding ...
Maintaining fish diversity is essential for environmental protection. To characterize the fish composition of the tributaries and mainstream in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, we identified seventy-five species of 15 families in 14 sampling sites. These data were analyzed using the inclusion ...
