Hard substrate associated with offshore oil and gas platforms can contribute to the productivity of marine ecosystems thereby generating local and regional economic benefits. These benefits form the basis for incorporating the platform into a rigs-to-reefs program when it is retired or selecting some ...
New dimensions of environmental loss and escalating liabilities following Macondo have catapulted environmental risk to a key feature on the corporate balance sheet. Forecasting expected losses of critical environmental functions, which underpin society, is setting new challenges insurance underwriters ...
HARC analyzed the response of ecological integrity of wetland functionality to energy exploration and production operations on the Upper Texas Gulf Coast. A decision support tool that will aid the oil and gas industry in minimizing loss of wetland function during energy exploration and production operations ...
Urbanization is increasing across the globe, and diseases once considered rural can now be found in urban areas due to the migration of populations from rural endemic areas, local transmission within the city, or a combination of factors. We investigated the epidemiologic characteristics of urban immigrants ...
Marine organisms have been recognized as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with industrial and nutraceutical potential. Recently, marine-derived carbohydrates, including polysaccharides and low molecular weight glycosylated oligosaccharides, have attracted much attention because of their numerous ...
Astyanax mexicanus, a teleost fish that exists in a river-dwelling surface form and multiple cave-dwelling forms, is an excellent system for studying the genetic basis of evolution. Cavefish populations, which independently evolved from surface fish ancestors multiple times, have evolved a number of ...
The freshwater snail Oncomelania hupensis is the only intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum, which causes schistosomiasis. This disease is endemic in the Far East, especially in mainland China. Because niclosamide is the only molluscicide recommended by the World Health Organization, 50% wettable ...
Recent studies demonstrate that the elevated temperatures predicted to occur by the end of the century can affect the physiological performance and behaviour of larval and juvenile fishes; however, little is known of the effect of these temperatures on ecological processes, such as predator–prey interactions. ...

Background Kelp (Saccharina japonica) has been intensively cultured in China for almost a century. Its genetic improvement is comparable with that of rice. However, the development of its molecular tools is extremely limited, thus its genes, genetics and genomics. Kelp performs an alternative life ...
Background Krill contains two marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), mainly bound in phospholipids. Typical products from krill are krill oil and krill meal. Fish oils contain EPA and DHA predominantly bound in triglycerides. The difference ...
Abstract Stainless steel compressor blades coated with erosion-resistant coatings undergo abrasion during service, and on cooling, salt aerosol deliquescence leads to the formation of thin electrolyte films on the blade surface, resulting in a galvanic system in the vicinity of the damage due to the ...
Abstract Coating systems for corrosion mitigation of structural steel and reinforcing steel in marine bridge applications have been widely used. However, novel materials continue to become available and interest lies in identifying improved material performance for marine bridge applications. Research ...
Abstract Equipment for drilling risers and subsea oil exploration involve use of many metals with the risk of galvanic corrosion, if not protected or maintained properly. Paint coated steel accounts for the majority for of such structures, but temporary coated steel, stainless steel and hard face alloys ...
Gruppo di fissaggio (1) per orientare una buzz bar (2) rispetto ad un telaio di supporto per canne da pesca, comprendente: un elemento tubolare (3) portabile da un telaio di supporto per canne da pesca, il quale elemento tubolare (3) comprende una parete anulare (4) che definisce un primo foro passante ...
Background The Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is a member of the Characiform family native to the Prata Basin (South America) and a target for the aquaculture industry. A limitation for the development of a selective breeding program for this species is a lack of available genetic information. The ...
Background Compensatory growth is accelerated compared with normal growth and occurs when growth-limiting conditions are overcome. Most animals, especially fish, are capable of compensatory growth, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Further investigation of the mechanism of compensatory growth in fish ...
Background The Malaysian giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is an economically important crustacean worldwide. However, production of this prawn is facing a serious threat from Vibriosis disease caused by Vibrio species such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Unfortunately, the mechanisms ...
