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 ...
Abstract The Pluspetrol Camisea Biodiversity Monitoring Program (BMP) has been collecting data on the distribution and status of species of flora and fauna and provisioning ecosystem services within the 247,000 ha upstream area of influence since 2005. In order to synthesize, integrate and map a complex, ...
Abstract Since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, countries around the world have begun to consider how to achieve the 17 Goals. In order to do so, it will be essential to have the support of other actors from both the private sector and civil society. So in turn, companies ...
Abstract Exploratory offshore drilling projects are under constant challenge to be competitive, efficient, and to contribute to ecosystem sustainability. At the same time, they attract development and investment, as well as tending to strengthen the communities they relate to. One of the main challenges ...
Abstract Monitoring, understanding, and communicating the impact of offshore oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities on marine mammal (MM) biodiversity can be challenging. Here, we share methods, results, and experiences accumulated during seven years of monitoring MM and underwater ...
The purpose of this paper is to investigate entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and interpreneurship in a future world of wireless technology and advanced Multi Business Model innovation. On behalf of a Multibusiness Model framework to classify and measure Multi Business Model Innovation of six different ...
Abstract Environmental and human health challenges are pronounced in Asia, an exceptionally diverse and complex region where influences of global megatrends are extensive and numerous stresses to environmental quality exist. Identifying priorities necessary to engage grand challenges can be facilitated ...
Ozone is a strong oxidant, and its use in aquaculture has been shown to improve water quality and fish health. At present, it is predominantly used in freshwater systems due to the high risk of toxic residual oxidant exposure in brackish water and seawater. Here, we report the effects of ozone on Atlantic ...
Optimal feeding frequency in aquaculture is vital for the sustainable and economical production of healthy, high-quality fish. This article described the growth performance and survival rate data in the juvenile phase of two commercially important ornamental fish species; Betta splendens (Siamese fighting ...
