Agriculture encompasses both plant growing (agronomy, horticulture, and forestry) animal husbandry. Aquaculture is the aquatic embodiment of agriculture. Lagoons are main sources aquaculture in various countries around world which especially yield shrimp, finfish, macrophytes, mollusk. Agricultural effluents highly affecting lagoon water quality parameters Sri Lanka since most agricultural farmlands country on coastal landmasses. It leads to increased risks contamination. Therefore, it essential identify affected by anthropogenic activities establish their threshold limits for ensuring sustainability lagoons. This study has identified influential associated with using bibliographic references, tested existing values five Lankan lagoons, briefly discussed fate transport. The was classified into biological, physical, chemical studied importance enhancing quality. overall experimental findings temperature, turbidity, pH, salinity, DO, BOD, COD, phosphates, nitrates, ammonia content, faecal coliforms specimens suggest that selected lagoons heavily polluted because accumulation over decades from lands worsens even more this salinity seawater when tide comes in. paper concludes there a need mechanisms can be used monitor apply control measures effectively manage not only integrity itself but also dependent ecosystems out lagoon.

Diluted swine and aquaculture wastewater enhance carbon sequestration and nutrient removal by the red seaweed Agardhiella subulata

Bioresource Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 132327 - 132327

Published: March 1, 2025

Swine wastewater poses significant environmental challenges, and conventional microalgae treatments often leave high residual nutrients while consuming substantial freshwater. This study explored the potential of saltwater macroalgae Agardhiella subulata for nutrient removal carbon assimilation under varying salinity ammonium concentrations. Using diluted swine aquaculture wastewater, A. achieved phosphorus efficiencies up to 93 % 68 %, respectively, within 24 h. It also removed CO2 at rates five times higher than global forest average enhanced dissolved oxygen levels, reducing impact nutrient-rich minimizing freshwater demand. Notably, effectively utilized with ammonia concentrations 600 μM conditions 27-34 ppt. These results demonstrate large-scale reduction, providing a sustainable solution impacts livestock industry.

Spatio-temporal distribution of global stromatolites through geological time identified by a large language model approach

Frontiers in Earth Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: March 31, 2025

Introduction A substantial amount of data embedded within diverse literature makes it time-consuming to manually extract and compile extensive datasets. The use large language models has become essential for the efficient extraction analysis big data. This study utilizes ChatGPT-4 reconstruct a global database stromatolites, spanning from Precambrian present, enhance our understanding their spatial temporal dynamics throughout geological time. Methods process involved several steps: First, PDF documents containing stromatolite were gathered converted into text format. Second, was employed on occurrences, including locations, ages, strata, facies types each sentence in documents. Third, duplicates removed, organized three categories: 3,248 unique location-age pairs, 2,723 strata-age 1,723 strata-age-facies type combinations. Additionally, 2,565 paleogeographical locations stromatolite-bearing rocks reconstructed using modern latitude longitude coordinates corresponding Phanerozoic ages. Results newly obtained dataset reveals that occurrences peaked during Proterozoic, declined Early Phanerozoic, exhibited fluctuations Phanerozoic. Seven hotspots identified: United States, Australia, India, Canada, China, England, Russia. From Cambrian Jurassic, stromatolites predominantly distributed low middle latitudes, shifting higher latitudes Cretaceous Quaternary. proportion inland aquatic relative marine varied, ranging 10% 30% Mesoarchean Middle Mesoproterozoic, decreasing less than Late Mesoproterozoic Paleozoic, increasing 10%–30% Devonian remaining high (39%–53%) Discussion findings highlight variability shedding light evolution these microbial structures over distribution patterns suggest significant shifts environmental conditions provide valuable insights ecological dynamics. organize body demonstrates potential advancing research paleobiology geology.
