An experimental kelp farming system for exposed ocean conditions was designed, deployed at an site in Saco Bay, Maine, planted with and instrumented evaluation of its dynamic response to waves, tides, currents. Anchor line tension, tide waves were measured. Time series data processed into amplitude operators (RAOs) least squared error linear regression models. Mean mooring tensions shown increase nonlinearly tide. tension amplitudes exhibit high sensitivity both low frequency wave forcing. Numerical free-release simulation results suggested that sensitivities could be the result resonance. Low disproportionate forcing explained by modulation group envelopes. Instances magnitude tensions, deemed shock loads, prevalent. RAO load magnitudes sensitive stiffness and, some cases, significant amplitude. Implementation additional compliance floatation less help mitigate loading. Structural frequencies associated swell subdued, indicating desirable performance most dominant storms.

A global inventory of extractive species mariculture in wave-exposed temperate waters shows that the longline is technology used more than 99% sites (Part 1 this review). In second part, I compare static (longline at rest), quasi-static (tidal sea surface elevation, steady currents and mainline lifting operation) dynamic (wind seas swells) loading motion surface, semi-submerged fully submerged longlines to grow bivalves kelp. This review based on a hundred papers published subject mostly after 2010 simple analytical models illustrate many compromises must be made ensure survivability structure survival (retention), growth quality cultured biomass.

The world’s oceans are largely free from intensive farming, but momentum to intensify and expand mariculture—the cultivation of aquatic organisms in the ocean—is growing. Despite optimism that mariculture will create economic nutritional benefits for humans, it can also generate a host risks, including environmental degradation, harms wildlife integrity welfare, captivity effects, shifts how humans view nonhuman world. Collectively, we refer these four types risks as “dewilding.” In this systematic review, searched Scopus Web Science recent literature documenting mariculture’s dewilding impacts organize collate evidence under one unified framework. We find consistently documented, though often isolation, conceptual recognized potential far less than on environment wildlife. Future work examining be paramount guiding human decision-making activity going forward.

In 2021 we published a six-year study (2015–2020) of the occurrence Mediterranean Storm-petrel Hydrobates pelagicus spp. melitensis around Bluefin Tuna Thun- nus thynnus fish-farm, where high concentrations took place during spring and summer. Great abundances storm-petrels were recorded in 2020, with more than 100 individuals registered throughout April–August, whereas previous years only few had been detected June–July. These figures suggest either an increasing trend storm-petrel area (i.e. by learning) or exceptional episode, probably related to storm Gloria January 2020. Here, present results censuses undertaken 2021–2022 whose numbers lower those 2020 May–July. This supports idea that events occurring southern Catalonia after created ‘perfect storm’ for this area.

We explore the biodiversity impacts of seaweed and shellfish farms in Pembrokeshire, UK, with a focus on using monitoring methods that are affordable can be integrated into existing farming operations. Monitoring used include Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVs), Passive Acoustic (PAM) visual surveys cultivation lines natural settlement farm infrastructure. BRUVs detected 13 motile fauna taxa, influenced mainly by site conditions, while PAM observed distinct patterns dolphin porpoise activity changes between seasons. Visual revealed colonisation algal, hydroid, bryozoan species both surface seabed infrastructure, indicating structures serve as stable substrates for accumulation. Apart from our data does not show conclusive link due to highly dynamic environment, small scale operations, relatively short timeframe. Despite these limitations, sets crucial baseline future studies showed no negative even activities intensified over period. The study aligns what's feasible time-constrained operators forms foundation routine, environmental monitoring.

The presence of arsenic (As) in drinking water represents a public health concern due to its high toxicity. Determining by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF) requires the separation matrix and subsequent preconcentration, low concentrations allowed quality standards for human consumption. present study describes method determine As TXRF, proposing capture on copper (Cu) films. A simple "in situ" concentration directly reflector is performed, enabling elimination sample facilitating extraction Cu film. These promising results warrant further research evaluate procedure's efficiency validation, potentially establishing this as routine low-concentration determination.

The global population consumes more seafood from aquaculture today than capture fisheries and although the industry continues to grow, both sectors will continue be important food supply into future. As farming expand ocean systems, understanding how wild populations interact with farms increasingly informing sustainable planning management. Using a spatially explicit fishing model we simulate several impacts (i.e., aggregation, protection fishing, on fitness) evaluate mechanisms underlying interactions between aquaculture, fisheries. We find that aggregation of species can increase benefits farm provides have greater mobile species. Splitting total area smaller benefit fishery catches, whereas larger provide ecological through conservation populations. Our results clear lessons design co-manage expanding along ecosystem management or objectives.
