Real-time monitoring of spatiotemporal wave-current fields along busy ferry routes have been strongly required in maritime disaster prevention, including ship accidents. Coastal acoustic tomography (CAT) systems have been frequently applied to various straits, proposed and developed to monitor current ...
ABSTRACT Both offshore wind energy and offshore aquaculture are developing rapidly and moving into deeper waters to acquire better resources. Meanwhile, the offshore solar energy is also drawing more and more attention from the academic communities. A novel concept of a floating wind-solar-aquaculture ...
ABSTRACT Artificial reefs are common human-made structures placed purposefully on the seabed for fishery enhancement and coastal protection. The local flow patterns could be further created and designed by perforated artificial reefs to become more inhabitable for different fish species, which attracts ...
ABSTRACT Arctic business is developing within the sectors of marine operations related to offshore oil and gas, mining, seafood, tourism, scientific expeditions, and world trade shipping. As offshore activities in the Arctic is a relatively new field, with only a handful relevant operations to draw ...
Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the great advantages of marine reserves in solving bycatch problems by maintaining the persistence (i.e., avoid extinction) of endangered species without sacrificing the fisheries yields of target species. However, transient phenomena rather than equilibrium ...
Recirculating aquaculture relies on the treatment of ammonia compounds from the water by a bacterial flora growing inside biofilters. Another increasingly common practice in aquaculture is the supplementation of feed with live probiotic bacteria to boost the immune system of the farmed animals and hinder ...
Metal(loid) pollution in aquatic ecosystems has become a cause for concern, particularly in areas where communities depend on services from these systems for their livelihood. This dataset presents the metal(loi) concentrations recorded in the water column, bottom sediment, and tissues of Oreochromis ...
Public value is gaining prominence from both academics and politicians with regards to China’s rural development. However, rural planning authorities and practitioners showed limited confidence on public, which manifests as few public perceptions were integrated into the planning documents. This study ...
Ocean warming, ocean acidification and overfishing are major threats to the structure and function of marine ecosystems. Driven by increasing anthropogenic emissions of CO2, ocean warming is leading to global redistribution of marine biota and altered ecosystem dynamics, while ocean acidification threatens ...
Background Marine fish populations are often characterized by high levels of gene flow and correspondingly low genetic divergence. This presents a challenge to define management units. Goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus rupestris) is a heavily exploited species due to its importance as a cleaner-fish in ...
A Water Quality Monitoring (WQM) system with solar energy harvesting for long term uninterrupted monitoring is proposed. The device consists of a solar panel charging a lithium battery with a solar charge controller. The system uses solar energy whenever there is sufficient sunlight, and the lithium ...
The results of mentioned physicochemical and biological analysis show that in more polluted sampling points, the number of resistance benthos (Bivalves) are more than other points of the study area. Heavy metal concentration in sediment is between 10 to 1000 times more than water samples especially ...
Vibrio bacteria, and particularly members of the Harveyi clade, are the causative agents of vibriosis. This disease is responsible for mass mortality events and important economic losses on aquaculture farms. Improvements in surveillance and diagnosis are needed to successfully manage vibriosis outbreaks. ...
Abstract Background In ichthyological publications from both Russia as a whole, and from the study region, lack of data indicating the actual results of observations in a specific place all result in publication of a generalised analysis. Although our publications contain such data, they are, however, ...
Far too little is known about the long-term dynamics of populations for almost all macro-organisms. Here, we examined the utility of sedimentary DNA techniques to reconstruct the dynamics in the “abundance” of a species, which has not been previously defined. We used fish DNA in marine sediments and ...
Sea urchins act as a keystone herbivore in marine coastal ecosystems, regulating macrophyte density, which offers refuge for multiple species. In the Mediterranean Sea, both the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus and fish preying on it are highly valuable target species for artisanal fisheries. As a consequence ...
Many fisheries management and conservation plans are based on the genetic structure of organisms in pelagic ecosystems; however, these structures tend to vary over time, particularly in cyclic ocean currents. We performed genetic analyses on the populations of the pelagic fish, Megalaspis cordyla (Osteichthyes: ...
This paper presents a review on various agricultural practices and aspects that can be or currently are automated, using robotics, IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) more prolifically. Alongside, the current and future perspectives are dealt with, covering major technology innovations focused around ...
An improved augmented reality (A/R) headset system is described. The system can feature a position sensor to determine a user's real-world view, an environmental sensor to determine objects obstructed from the real-world view, and a processing unit to correlate the data such that a merged graphical ...
A radar antenna is provided. The radar antenna includes an antenna body, a housing housing a plurality of components for controlling the antenna body, and a ventilation path formed in a predetermined ventilating direction and penetrating the housing. One or more of the plurality of components are disposed ...
