New Zealand sea lions Phocarctos hookeri have experienced a 46% decline in pup production the last 25 yr, driven by female deaths trawl fisheries around Auckland Islands. The only colony for this species recorded away from subantarctics and fishing impact is on Stewart Island. Despite Island being 1% of species, it significant, as currently stable population located an area most on-land human impacts, although not potential pressures. To ensure colony’s persistence, more information needed these lions’ diet, foraging behaviour, local interactions management that promotes their protection. present research investigates long-term infers using known behaviour linking to proximal full-length whisker isotope values. Previous studies found animals small areas with consistent mesopelagic diving behaviours. These behaviours, linked values, show consistency inferred diet across entire adult life. Currently, there are no commercial bycatch issues However, precautionary measures ensuring pressure does increase safeguard deepwater trawling finfish aquaculture remain absent would be proactive steps should undertaken protection new Endangered whole.

Abstract Aquaculture contributes a significant portion of the global aquatic biomass destined for human consumption. Bivalve and marine finfish aquaculture operations require sea‐based farm sites that result in considerable interactions with natural environment. The addition feed waste physical structures (e.g., net pens longline mussel culture) can provide an attractive artificial reef many species studies have shown both positive negative effects on surrounding ecosystem due to wild sites. Assessing these be complex, depending local ecosystem, several monitoring techniques been used accurately determine associations decapods farms. In this review, we assessed main methods monitor aquaculture‐ecosystem interactions. advantages disadvantages each technique are discussed suggestions mitigate shortfalls future outlined. It was evident combining methodologies should prioritised lessen impact identified weaknesses any given approach. Designing complementary approaches may help attain robust data further understand underlying proximate mechanisms.

Abstract Aquaculture provides an important and expanding source of protein rich healthy food to the world. However, minimize environmental harm from aquaculture, interactions with wild fish communities need be thoroughly assessed. Here, we characterize existing knowledge pertaining such interactions, exemplified Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) farming in open net pens along Norwegian coast potential consequences for cod Gadus morhua populations. Importantly, fishery also a rich, high quality economic value. We identify seven risk sources that may affect behaviour, physiology, survival cod. Of particular importance is large amount waste feed causes aggregate around farms, thereby altering multitude ecological including predation disease transmission. Moreover, altered pellets alter physiological processes cause mortality vulnerable life‐stages More research needed on mechanisms thresholds harm. As most fisheries are found northern Norway, where climate change rapid, expect stronger potentially more harmful between as aquaculture continues expand. hope our analysis will inspire further research, farmed but general. Such fundamental development management systems can reduce impact environment.

Abstract Mariculture has been gradually regarded as an important solution to the global food production crisis. Increasing scientific evidence reveals that mariculture can provide a large number of ecologic benefits, in accordance with several United Nations sustainable development goals. However, previous studies mostly focused on negative impacts mariculture, which may impede its increased production. Here, based Emergy Accounting (EMA), we propose comprehensive “Multiple Inputs‐Ecosystem Service Multifunctionality‐Multiple Environmental Impacts” (MI‐ESM‐MEI) evaluation framework, trying describe mariculture's overall environmental performances beyond just limiting seafoods. As world's largest producer, China is taken example for evaluation. Our results show both cultured species and cultivation patterns determine performance mariculture: seaweed‐raft, shellfish‐raft, shellfish‐hanging cage, shellfish‐bottom sowing others‐bottom could be more influential support. By identifying priority areas offshore development, ecological benefits significantly improved using about 27% China's territorial sea area. At present, Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang performs better than other regions. Under condition recognizing nonnegligible additional improvements are urgently needed. In addition, activities especially seaweed help solve water contamination problem alleviate effects eutrophication coastal ecosystems. For most regions, if integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) mode promoted, burden reduced even converted into benefit.

An experimental kelp farming system for exposed ocean conditions was designed, deployed, planted with and instrumented evaluation of its dynamic response to waves, tides, currents. The farm featured a novel "lattice" mooring design anchor lines cultivation (horizontal used as growth substrate) made fiberglass rods. deployed at site in Saco Bay, Maine 13 m (MLLW) water depth. There the waves heights up 5.9 m. Anchor line tension, tide wave height time series were gathered processed into amplitude operators (RAOs) least squared error linear regression models enabling recognition meaningful patterns between forcing factors response. Mean tensions shown increase nonlinearly tide. tension amplitudes exhibit high sensitivity both low frequency forcing. Numerical free-release test simulations suggested natural frequencies heave 0.91 Hz, indicating that sensitivities could be result resonance. Low disproportionate explained by on arrays modulated group envelopes. Instances magnitude, potentially damaging peak tensions, deemed shock loads, prevalent most load cases. dynamics including RAO magnitudes sensitive stiffness (ratio resulting elongation) and, some cases, significant amplitude. Patterns indicated additional elasticity or geometric compliance use floatation less help avoid cause costly consequences amplified loading loading. RAOs model results also subdued associated swell suggesting desirable performance dominant extreme storm events. With proposed improvements, suggests merit robust durable macroalgae biomass production platform.

Information on marine mammal habitat use in coastal areas can provide a better understanding of anthropogenic effects species. Admiralty Bay, New Zealand has extensive near-shore mussel farms and is an important dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) foraging habitat. Prior research indicated declining trend regional abundance from the late 1990s to mid-2000s. We describe behaviour, patch movement patterns Bay 2011–2012 compare findings previous capture long-term trends. Sampling methods included small-boat group follows photo-identification shore-based theodolite tracking. Dolphin encounter rate, mean size, individual resighting rate showed negative years. Coordinated prey ball herding, technique documented years, was rarely observed during this study. Dolphins were more likely forage near (excluding specialised herding), though they seldom entered farms. Near shore, swimming speed slower, reorientation higher, linearity lower presence than their absence. This builds upon prior studies, suggesting continued decline presence, highlights differences human-altered ecosystem.
