Simple Summary Aquaculture development is limited by several diseases associated with bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics. In this context, new treatment alternatives are necessary. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effects of Salix babylonica ...
Background Perkinsosis is a major disease affecting the commercially important marine mollusk Ruditapes philippinarum (Manila clam) in Asian waters. In this study, we investigated the morphological characteristics of Perkinsus olseni, the causative agent of perkinsosis, cultured under laboratory conditions ...
Abstract Rapid adaptation to global change can counter vulnerability of species to population declines and extinction. Theoretically, under such circumstances both genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity can maintain population fitness, but empirical support for this is currently limited. Here, ...
Abstract During frying, fat degrade and many reactions occur resulting in numerous altered fatty acid products. This would lead to the formation of Tran's fatty acids and changes in nutritional qualities. Hence, this study was aimed to determine the changes during frying on fatty acid composition of ...
Recent advances in analytical chemistry have allowed a greater possibility of using quantitative approaches for measuring human exposure to chemicals. One of these approaches is biomonitoring (BM), which provides unequivocal evidence that both exposure and uptake of a chemical have taken place. BM has ...
OceanNet is a project to provide affordable offshore Internet service for marine fishermen during their fishing activities. The communication system onboard the fishing vessel consists of long-range (LR) Wi-Fi based Adaptive Backhaul Equipment (ABE) on the mast and Wi-Fi access point inside the deck. ...
This paper inquires whether reindeer herders’ traditional knowledge (TK) provides a reservoir of precaution and adaptation possibilities that may be relevant to counteract climate change. As our core example, we used the milking of reindeer—which, in some areas, was practiced up until the 1950s–1960s—and ...
Depending on model sizes and test speeds, model Reynolds numbers are typically one to two orders of magnitude less than those occurring at full scale. The region of laminar flow is significantly larger on a model surface than at full scale. Turbulence stimulators (TSs) are extensively applied in model ...
Hull optimization design based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a highly computationally intensive complex engineering problem. Because of reasons such as many variables, spatially complex design performance, and huge computational workload, hull optimization efficiency is low. To improve the ...
Fishermen travel far up to 50 nautical miles into the ocean for fishing. They are often stressed and worried about their families as they cannot contact them for many days. Also, it is very difficult to pass any information regarding cyclone or other natural calamities to the fishermen. As there is ...
Fishermen travel beyond 100km in trawlers for fishing and sometimes the trips last for a month. The cellular network coverage is limited to 15km from the shore. Fishermen are isolated from the shore, beyond 15km. Several hundreds of fishermen lost their lives during the recent cyclones in 2017 to 2019. ...
We analyzed the epidemiological distribution of Salmonella serovars in humans, foods, animals and the environment as a One-Health step towards identifying risk factors for human salmonellosis. Throughout the 2012–2016 period, Salmonella ser. Enteritidis was consistently the predominating serovar attributing ...
In aquaculture farming, escaping fish can lead to large economic losses and major local environmental impacts. As such, the careful inspection of fishnets for breaks or holes presents an important problem. In this paper, we extend upon our previous work in the design of an omnidirectional surface vehicle ...
Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) is currently the most common marine biotoxin food poisoning worldwide, associated with human consumption of circumtropical fish and marine invertebrates that are contaminated with ciguatoxins. Ciguatoxins are very potent sodium-channel activator neurotoxins, that pose ...
Developments in industrial applications inevitably accelerate the discharge of enormous substances into the environment, whereas multi-component mixtures commonly cause joint toxicity which is distinct from the simple sum of independent effect. Thus, ecotoxicological assessment, by luminescent bioassays ...
In the Caribbean Basin the distribution and diversity patterns of deep-sea scleractinian corals and stylasterid hydrocorals are poorly known compared to their shallow-water relatives. In this study, we examined species distribution and community assembly patterns of scleractinian and stylasterid corals ...
Abstract Pacific salmon stocks are in decline with climate change named as a contributing factor. The North Pacific coast of British Columbia is characterized by strong temporal and spatial heterogeneity in ocean conditions with upwelling events elevating CO2 levels up to 10-fold those of pre-industrial ...
Over the last 3 decades, a large portion of coral cover has been lost around the globe. This significant decline necessitates a rapid assessment of coral reef health to enable more effective management. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for coral cover estimation and demonstrate its viability. ...
Species-specific monitoring through large shark fin market surveys has been a valuable data source to estimate global catches and international shark fin trade dynamics. Hong Kong and Guangzhou, mainland China, are the largest shark fin markets and consumption centers in the world. We used molecular ...
