Mariculture areas are an important non-renewable natural resource and continuously improving their efficiency is important for increasing mariculture output and adjusting its structure. The aim of this study was to measure the mariculture area produc...
Nearshore mariculture is a major contributor to the supply of “blue food”; however, its rapid expansion in bay systems has intensified sea-space competition and environmental pressures, underscoring the need for accurate and long-term mon...
There are activities in viticulture and mariculture that require extreme physical endurance from human workers, making them prime candidates for automation and robotization. This paper presents a novel, practical, heterogeneous, autonomous robotic sy...
Mariculture provides an increasing seafood supply to a growing population. It also brings unintended consequences for the environment, resources, and sustainable development. In an attempt to evaluate the impacts of intensive mariculture of lobster i...
Mariculture is crucial in environmental monitoring and safety assurance of marine environments. Certain mariculture areas are often partially or completely submerged in water, which causes the target signal to be extremely weak and difficult to detec...
Precise delineation of marine aquaculture areas is vital for the monitoring and protection of marine resources. However, due to the coexistence of diverse marine aquaculture areas and complex marine environments, it is still difficult to accurately d...
Coastal blue carbon ecosystems (traditional types such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows; emerging types such as tidal flats and mariculture) play pivotal roles in capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Reliable assessment o...
In this study, the suitability of four earthen, seawater ponds located in the Thatta district of Sindh province (Pakistan) was evaluated for the purpose of semi-intensive mariculture, which remains to be a severely underdeveloped branch of the agricu...
With the rapid global demand for mariculture products in recent years, the use of antibiotics has increased intensively in the mariculture area. Current research on antibiotic residues in mariculture environments is limited, and less information is a...
Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) has emerged as an ecological intensification strategy capable of enhancing nutrient utilization and improving environmental stability in mariculture systems, yet the microbial mechanisms driving nutrient tr...
Rivers are major pathways for litter to enter the ocean, especially plastic debris. Yet, further research is needed to improve knowledge on rivers contribution, increase data availability, refine litter origins, and develop relevant solutions to limi...
The growing world population has produced an increasing demand for seafood, and the aquaculture industry is under corresponding pressure to fill this demand. The offshore ecology and environment are under significant threat with the continuous expans...
Shenzhen Bay (SZB), situated between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, is a typical bay system. The water quality of the bay is notably affected by domestic and industrial discharge. Rivers and various types of drainage outlets carry terrestrial pollutants int...
Parasitic diseases pose significant challenges to the success of mariculture. The health management strategies used in sea-cage aquaculture are not completely effective at preventing parasites from entering through interactions with wild fish. This s...
The Greek marine aquaculture has a leading role in the Mediterranean mariculture industry, mainly in the export sector and its prominent contribution to the country’s economy. In the present study, the spatial distribution of Greek finfish farm...
Sediment indices usually set heavy-metal priorities in mariculture bays, but uptake and regulation vary among taxa, so seafood priorities may differ. In a single-season survey of the Maowei Sea (Beibu Gulf) in April 2022, seven metals were measured i...
Karimunjawa National Park is one of Indonesia’s oldest established marine parks. Coral reefs across the park are being impacted by fishing, tourism and declining water quality (local stressors), as well as climate change (global pressures). In...
The concentration of ammonia nitrogen is significant for intensive aquaculture, and if the concentration of ammonia nitrogen is too high, it will seriously affect the survival state of aquaculture. Therefore, prediction and control of the ammonia nit...
Aquaculture of the lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) has become a large, lucrative industry owing to the escalating demand for “cleaner fish” to minimise sea lice infestations in Atlantic salmon mariculture farms. We used over 10K genome-w...
The shimofuri goby (Tridentiger bifasciatus) is a small and highly adaptable goby, distributed along the coasts of China, the Sea of Japan, and the west coastal and estuarine areas of the Northwest Pacific. Next-generation sequencing was used to gene...
Golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) ranks among the most commercially important and high-yield marine finfish species in Chinese mariculture. In response to the requirement for monitoring fish in aquaculture, this study employed Adaptive Resolution I...
Molluscs, especially bivalves, play an important role in food production and are the dominant group in mariculture worldwide. They are also an important component of the marine ecosystem, influencing the food web and nutrient cycling, as well as crea...
