To determine the factors influencing juvenile recruitment of the kelp Eisenia bicyclis, a seven-year monitoring survey was conducted in an area affected by seismic subsidence caused by the 2011 earthquake and subsequent breakwater restoration. Juveni...
The Amazon coastal zone exhibits remarkable habitat diversity and species richness, with nutrient-rich estuaries playing a crucial role in local food webs and supporting fish and other aquatic organisms. To examine the distribution of fish larvae and...
Accurately capturing the Kuroshio’s main axis and its multiscale frontal variations remains challenging due to the constraints of traditional fixed-section extraction methods. Here, we develop an adaptive iterative tracking algorithm utilizing...
Wetland landscape classification is fundamental to monitoring changes in ecosystem patterns. This study proposes an ensemble classification approach that integrates Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) and Decision Tree (DT) methods with optimized...
Holoplanktonic mollusks (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Pteropoda) are vital structural and functional components of marine zooplankton communities, characterized by high sensitivity to physicochemical shifts in the water column. Consequently, multidisciplina...
We investigated the autumn-to-winter evolution of water-mass structure and nutrient concentrations in Funka Bay, southwestern Hokkaido, Japan, from October to February (2012–2019). Hydrographic and biogeochemical profiles show a recurrent seaso...
The sound speed profile (SSP) is a core environmental parameter for underwater acoustic detection, navigation, communication, and other applications. However, its accurate acquisition is constrained by the sparsity of observational data and the ill-p...
Port State Control (PSC) inspections play a critical role in enforcing international maritime safety and environmental standards, yet little is known about how compliance behaviour interacts with economic cycles. This study examines the relationship...
Marine oil spills pose critical challenges to environmental sustainability and socioeconomic stability. Taking four pivotal cases as the entry point, this study uses comparative case analysis, semi-structured stakeholder interviews, policy analysis a...
Marine benthic ecosystems along urbanised coastlines face heightened vulnerability due to the cumulative effects of chronic anthropogenic stressors. Climate change intensifies these pressures through more frequent and severe storms, while ongoing coa...
The armless snake eel, Dalophis imberbis, is a fossorial rare species. It is considered to be a non-target fishery resource with elusive behavior, and there is a paucity of knowledge regarding its distribution and biology. This study reports three ne...
The dynamics of calcium carbonate structures in marine organisms (skeletons and shells) has become increasingly important due to heightened interest in marine environmental acidification. Research into molluscan shell corrosion and calcification in r...
Langmuir turbulence is a key and common process in the ocean surface boundary layer, playing a major role in vertical mixing, heat flux, and material transport. However, because direct simulation of Langmuir turbulence demands considerable computatio...
The present study examined fish biodiversity, livelihood dependence, cultural importance, and genetic connectivity in two ecologically linked habitats of the Sylhet region, Bangladesh: Hakaluki Haor and the Surma River. Surveys documented 60 fish spe...
The Mediterranean Sea is both a global biodiversity hotspot and the world’s most heavily invaded marine region, where non-indigenous species arrivals are accelerating under intensifying shipping, Suez Canal traffic, aquaculture, and climate war...
Over the past two decades, Citizen Science (CS) has experienced rapid growth, driven by technological advancements and the rise of digital platforms. This work examines the necessity for standardization in Citizen Science data management and discusse...
