The manual Quality Control (QC) process undertaken by experts in marine sensor deployments is becoming increasingly impractical as the size of these deployments increase and streaming applications become the norm. Automated quality control procedures have been developed for real-time sensor deployments ...
The concept of Seawater Air Conditioning (SWAC) is thought to have been first conceived by the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) at its facility at Keahole Point on the Island of Hawaii in 1983. NELHA was the first location in the United Stated to successfully deploy a deep seawater ...
The Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) is the only location in the world today where large volumes of warm, surface seawater and cold, deep seawater are distributed onshore for the development of mariculture enterprises of temperate species in a tropical environment. Due to the insight ...
The Oregon Fishermen in Ocean Observing Research (OrFIOOR) program is a collaboration between Oregon State University researchers and commercial Dungeness crab fishermen in Oregon and Washington which utilizes fishing gear (crab pots) as sensor platforms of opportunity. The program was started in 2005 ...
Quantitative understandings of sediment transport for coastal engineering projects, such as removing and installing underwater cables, installing and operating underwater turbines and disposal of dredged marine sediment (or terrestrial overburden) are one of the key requirements in planning these projects, ...
Real-time image analysis and classification onboard robotic marine vehicles, such as AUVs, is a key step in the realisation of adaptive mission planning for large-scale habitat mapping in previously unexplored environments. This paper describes a novel technique to train, process, and classify images ...
Kona Blue is a leader in innovative mariculture, having pioneered an open ocean fish farm operation off Kona, Hawaii, that has produced up to 500 tons/yr of sashimi-grade Kona Kampachi® (Seriola rivoliana), with no measureable environmental impact beyond the immediate area of the net pens. However, ...
The following topics are dealt with: underwater acoustics and acoustical oceanography; sonar signal/ image processing and communication; ocean observing platforms, systems, and instrumentation; remote sensing; ocean data visualization, modeling, and information management; MARINE environment, oceanography, ...
The comprehensive utilization hydropower project not only plays a role in power generation and flood control, but also has some benefits in navigation, water supply, irrigation, aquaculture, and tourism. Meanwhile, it greatly influences the basin ecological environment. Firstly, quantitative calculation ...
Background and Objective Probiotics are live microbial feed supplements which beneficially affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance, producing metabolites which inhibit the colonization or growth of other microorganisms or by competing with them for resources such as nutrients ...
A field study was conducted in a fish market and a processing factory in Iceland to evaluate how traceability is secured at fish product distribution. The main characteristics of ‘One-up-one-down’ traceability and the distribution system to assure traceability and the quality of fish products in Iceland ...
In the project “RFID from Farm to Fork” an implementation of RFID technologies will be used along the food supply chain: from farm to the consumer. The paper is intended to highlight two examples of how to define farmed fish traceability system suitable for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). ...
Marine seismic exploration uses air guns or air gun arrays to generate high energy, short duration acoustic pulses deep into the ocean floor but some of the seismic/acoustic energy remains in the water column and can propagate to considerably distances. This may cause disturbance to marine life and ...
This paper discuss boid simulation using the rules of biological behavior to estimate fish behavior. The modeling and computational algorithm are cheched with validity under chaos and fractal analysis. Our simulation method for sensing and acting of a fish is based on the boid method in conjunction ...
Emerging technological advancements are with the potential of delivering numerous services for betterment of local SMEs, entrepreneurs and rural community in general. However, the necessity of high-tech, sophisticated and high cost equipments to access these services has created digital division between ...
A year-long experiment to monitor underwater ambient noise measurements in shallow, (~50m) open water along an energetic coastline in the Pacific Northwest (USA) was conducted. Bottom mounted passive acoustic recorders were deployed in March 2010 by Oregon State University (OSU) and NOAA/Pacific Marine ...
The coastal ocean observing system in the Gulf of Maine was deployed in the summer of 2001. The system operated a real-time data buoy array that collected oceanographic and meteorological measurements in a 24/7 operation at as many as 11 locations in the Gulf of Maine (GoM). The data return of the GoM ...
The need to increase renewable energy supply in the United States has prompted ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) technology to be re-considered for use in Hawaii. As with any new development, a thorough environmental impact assessment is needed before the technology can begin field trials. A previous ...
Coral reefs are biologically complex ecosystems that support a wide variety of marine organisms. These are fragile communities under enormous threat from natural and human-based influences. Properly assessing and measuring the growth and health of reefs is essential to understanding impacts of ocean ...
Many inshore wave energy collectors (WEC) concepts use wave energy to push water ashore to process it for energy conversion with turbines. An artificial reef design of floating HPDE pipe can be built in a harbor and installed offshore of the breaking waves in the near shore. The portable reef designed ...
