Tridacna maxima (T. maxima) are widely distributed in shallow areas near coral reefs and hold significant commercial value as a food source for marine tourism. However, it has been extensively harvested depleted many regions, leading to being listed endangered species by the International Union Conservation of Nature (IUCN). While protected (MPAs) considered effective conservation tools, remains uncertain whether existing MPAs adequately protect these vulnerable giant clams. Here, we employed Species Distribution Models (SDMs) approach, combining occurrence records T. with environmental variables, predict their distribution capture spatiotemporal changes. The findings revealed importance land distance light at bottom determining maxima, suitable habitats predominantly found coastal waters rather than deep sea areas. Furthermore, modeled potential 2050 2100 under different climate change scenarios, highlighting varying impacts on across model predictions. To evaluate current gaps, conducted an analysis overlaying results showed that area is 1,519,764.73 km2, accounting only 16.10% total It became evident insufficiently large or well-connected, suggesting ineffectiveness safeguarding Therefore, management efforts should focus establishing network along coastlines West Pacific-Indonesia, matching dispersal capability These provide valuable insights clams, offering scientific foundation designing MPA networks Indo-Pacific region.

Citizen science and spatial ecology analyses can inform species distributions, habitat preferences, threats in elusive endangered such as seahorses. Through a dedicated citizen survey submitted to the Italian diving centers, we collected 115 presence records of two seahorses occurring along coasts: Hippocampus hippocampus H. guttulatus. From this dataset, used 85 seahorse valitaded identify ecological features these poorly known quantify effects human activities on their suitability through geographic information systems distribution modelling. Our results indicated continuous suitable area for both coasts, with single major gap central Adriatic Sea (Emilia-Romagna Marche regions). They co-occurred most range, particularly southern Tyrrhenian niches resulted be significantly similar, although not equivalent. The least-cost paths were concentrated Italy (Apulia, Calabria, Sicily), suggesting that more data is needed improve resolution available information, especially northern Italy. Human influenced 35% 41% guttulatus, respectively, while only 25% 30% potential are protected by Italy's existing conservation system, accordance global average In particular, represents critical where occurrence lower anthropic impact higher. Considering all regions, fishing effort main activity impacting species. These findings will support implementation efficient actions. We encourage application interaction facilitate assessment sustainable management organisms.

Nautilus pompilius, a ‘living fossil’ of the oceans, is crucial to study biological evolution and paleontology. However, species’ habitat has been severely impacted by global climate change. Based on this, species distribution models conservation gap analyses were conducted under current future scenarios. The results revealed that habitats for N. pompilius primarily located in coastal waters Australia, Indonesia, Philippines. Under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 scenario, suitable projected decline 4.8% 2050s 5.3% 2100s. This loss expected intensify higher emission scenarios, particularly RCP 8.5, where reduction could reach 15.4% Conservation analysis indicates while nearly 30% fall within marine protected areas (MPAs), many vulnerable regions remain unprotected. Future MPA establishment should strategically address these gaps, such as Gulf Carpentaria, Arafura Sea, southern edge Timor Sea. provides critical insights into patterns needs emphasizing urgent need targeted efforts protect this endangered species.

The cooling water intake systems of coastal nuclear power plants are frequently clogged by marine organisms in the area. This study uses hydroacoustic (BioSonics DT-X, 199 kHz) and trawling methods (20 mm codend mesh size) to research fish spatiotemporal dynamics. Species composition, seasonal variations abundance, target strength were analyzed. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed a significant negative between depth resource density. Significant differences abundance biomass density observed among seasons stations. An dominant species showed that IRI (index relative importance) Collichthys lucidus was highest February 2023 (5736.54), while Harpadon nehereus had November (2309.17). distribution estimates from acoustic surveys biological highly consistent, demonstrating applicability reliability assessments. Through identification as well patterns within area, valuable data support can be provided for confirmation those prone clogging source. Moreover, it lays solid foundation development relevant protection work.
