In some examples, a collision awareness system for a vehicle includes a camera configured to mount on a protrusion of the vehicle and capture an image and a wireless transmitter configured to mount on the protrusion of the vehicle. The collision awareness system includes processing circuitry configured ...
A touch panel device (display device) acquires a first sensor image, a second sensor image, and a third sensor image. The touch panel device displays acquired images in respective divided areas of a display screen. The touch panel device detects a predetermined touch gesture and detects an operated ...
A dive computer system that includes a primary power source and a console, located remotely from the power source. The console includes a display screen configured to be readable underwater. The primary power source is connected to the console via a cable. The console does not include a connection for ...
An enhanced system and various methods for detangling and positioning of automatic fender positioning systems, comprising a system for stowing a boat fender in a fender receptacle, the receptacle having an opening for threading through a line, the line being attached to the fender, the line operable ...
The invention relates to an activation unit for a rescue device equipped with at least one inflatable balloon with a pressurized gas cylinder, with a device for opening the pressurized gas cylinder closed with a closure element, with at least one pressurized gas hose which connects the activation unit ...
Understanding population genetic structure can help us to infer dispersal patterns, predict population resilience and design effective management strategies. For sessile species with limited dispersal, this is especially pertinent because genetic diversity and connectivity are key aspects of their resilience ...
The satellite compass is one of new variants of satellite navigational devices. Is it still treated with caution on International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) vessels, but has become popular on the fishing vessels and pleasure crafts. The standard data obtained by such devices suggest ...
Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the main source of anthropogenic mercury emissions and contamination in Latin America. In the Brazilian northern Amazon, ASGM has contaminated the environment and people over the past century. The main contamination route is through fish consumption, which ...
Cooperation is generally the most advantageous strategy for the group; however, on an individual level, cheating is frequently more attractive. In a fishery, one can choose to cooperate by fishing only the regulated amount or not to cooperate, by fishing to maximize profits. Top-down management can ...
Because of their lifestyles, abundance, and feeding habits, infaunal marine deposit feeders have a significant impact on the ocean floor. As these animals also ingest microorganisms associated with their sediment and seawater diet, their digestive tract usually contains a diverse array of bacteria. ...
Microplastic pollution is ubiquitous in the marine environment and is ingested by numerous marine species. Sharks are an understudied group regarding their susceptibility to microplastic ingestion. Here, we provide evidence of ingestion of microplastic and other anthropogenic fibres in four demersal ...
Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by the amoeba Neoparamoeba perurans, has led to considerable economic losses in every major Atlantic salmon producing country, and is increasing in frequency. The most serious infections occur during summer and autumn, when temperatures are high and poor dissolved ...
The extinction of species can destabilize ecological processes. A way to assess the ecological consequences of species loss is by examining changes in functional diversity. The preservation of functional diversity depends on the range of ecological roles performed by species, or functional richness, ...
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly used to predict the geographic distribution of a wide range of organisms; however, relatively fewer research efforts have concentrated on rare species despite their critical roles in biological conservation. The present study tested whether community ...
Methods for the removal of parasites from fish are disclosed, which comprise treatment with an aqueous solution comprising an ionic compound. Certain embodiments of the methods further comprise mechanical treatment.
A soft sphere transfer device, includes: a water tank into which soft spheres are introduced; a transfer rotation member rotatably disposed in the water tank and including a plurality of accommodation grooves formed along a peripheral edge of the transfer rotation member; and an injection device configured ...
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a pressure tolerant energy system. The pressure tolerant energy system may comprise a pressure tolerant cavity and an energy system enclosed in the pressure tolerant cavity configured to provide electrical power to the vehicle. The energy system may include ...
The combination of local communities and industrial risk scenarios is always a big challenge. Nevertheless, in 2017 two oil & gas companies gathered to develop Mar Atento, a pilot project with focus in the engagement and training of fishermen to act in an eventual oil spill response at sea, aiming the ...
Abstract Global climatic fluctuations governed the ancestral demographic histories of species and contributed to place the current population status into a more extensive ecological and evolutionary context. Genetic variations will leave unambiguous signatures in the patterns of intraspecific genetic ...
