Abstract Equatorial fishes, and the critically important fisheries based on them, are thought to be at-risk from climate warming because the fishes have evolved in a relatively aseasonal environment and possess narrow thermal tolerance windows that are close to upper thermal limits. We assessed survival, ...
The aim of this paper is to describe a new variant of Janthinobacterium lividum - ROICE173, isolated from Antarctic snow, and to investigate the antimicrobial effect of the crude bacterial extract against 200 multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria of both clinical and environmental origin, displaying various ...
The surface floating duckweed Lemna minor (Lemnaceae) is a potential ingredient to replace the application of fish-meal in the aqua-feed. The culture technique of the duckweed was standardized in outdoor tanks and then applied in the pond. Three consecutive experiments were conducted in tanks (1.2 × ...
Members of the bacterial genus Agrococcus are globally distributed and found across environments so highly diverse that they include forests, deserts, and coal mines, as well as in potatoes and cheese. Despite how widely Agrococcus occurs, the extent of its physiology, genomes, and potential roles in ...
Despite being the second most important aquaculture species in the world accounting for 7.4% of global production in 2015, tilapia aquaculture has lacked genomic tools like SNP-arrays and high-density linkage maps to improve selection accuracy and accelerate genetic progress. In this paper, we describe ...
The effect of CO2-driven ocean acidification (OA) on marine biota has been extensively studied mostly on a single stage of the life cycle. However, the cumulative and population-level response to this global stressor may be biased due to transgenerational effects and their impacts on physiological plasticity. ...
Neurotransmitters serve as chemical mediators of cell communication, and are known to have important roles in regulating numerous physiological and metabolic events in eumetazoans. The Crown-of-Thorns Seastar (COTS) is an asteroid echinoderm that has been the focus of numerous ecological studies due ...
Background Aedes aegypti carries several viruses of public health importance, including the dengue virus. Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Prevention and control of dengue mainly rely on mosquito control as there is no antiviral treatment or a WHO-approved ...
Abstract A new species of Procamallanus Baylis, 1923 was found as a parasite of the fish Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz, 1831) from a lake in the Jardim Botânico Bosque Rodrigues Alves, Belém, Brazil. Procamallanus spiculastriatussp. n. has a smooth buccal capsule and a well-developed basal ring that ...
Integrin β-1 (ITGB1) is a transmembrane protein belonging to the integrin family and it plays an important role in viral entry. In this study, the itgb1b gene of the rare minnow, Gobiocypris rarus, was cloned and analyzed. To investigate the possible role of itgb1b on grass carp reovirus (GCRV) infection, ...
ABSTRACT Hybridization between closely related species can generate genetic and phenotypic variation, providing valuable biological material to assess the physiological impact of the structural or functional variability of different organs. In the present study, we examined growth rates of various ...
ABSTRACT Artificial reef (AR) can be regarded as a perforated breakwater when it performs as an auxiliary structure in beach nourishment. In this paper, a kind of artificial reefs made of cuboid reinforced concrete blocks, which has already applied practically in beach nourishment projects in Beidaihe, ...
ABSTRACT As climate change progresses, the amount of arctic sea ice continues to decline, and open water areas expand rapidly during the summer season in the Northern Sea Route (NSR). Thus, opening the NSR could offer great possibilities for the shipping industry and shipbuilders. The NSR is navigated ...
ABSTRACT In modern computer aided ship design system, ship hull forms are mostly represented by the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline surfaces and saved in IGES file format for data exchange between different CAD/CAM systems. Ship hull forms represented by NURBS surfaces have many good properties including ...
ABSTRACT In the present study, the two-dimensional tidal current and oil spill numerical model was established by using MIKE21/SA (Spill Analysis). After validation, the model was applied to simulate the diffusion of the oil spill under the second phases of the reclamation project in Bodaozui sea area. ...
ABSTRACT In this paper, a circular cylinder attached by a pair of fin-shaped strips is proposed with intent to harvest hydrokinetic energy. It is found via numerical simulations of fluid-structure interaction that vortex-induced vibration and galloping occur back-to-back by placing the strips on the ...
ABSTRACT The paper considers the technologies of the perspective marine industrial complex of aquaculture with energy supply from renewable sources. Technological schemes of structures and devices of the onshore plant for the cultivation of hydrobionts, a marine underwater farm and a supply vessel ...
Summary While antigens from Schistosoma schistosomula have been suggested as potential vaccine candidates, the association between antibody responses with schistosomula antigens and infection intensity at reinfection is not well known. Schistosoma mansoni‐infected individuals were recruited from a ...
The Smart City concept is starting to extend into maritime environments alongside with the increase of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) models on the market. Consequently, by joining both Smart City and USV technologies, a set of platforms and applications for aquatic environments are emerging. This ...
Abstract Aim To provide a method of analyzing penguin tracking data to identify priority at‐sea areas for seabird conservation (marine IBAs), based on pre‐existing approaches for flying seabirds but revised according to the specific ecology of Pygoscelis penguin species. Location Waters around the ...
