Abstract Studies investigating microplastics (MPs) in marine species have been published over recent decades, including studies on depuration efficacy aquaculture products. This preliminary study investigates the of MPs two commercial oyster from Ireland. The innovative aspects are sampling size ( n = 50 per species) and experiment duration (up to 96 h). case organisms Pacific Magallana gigas ) European flat Ostrea edulis ). Prior depuration, mean MP concentration M. edible tissue was 0.6 g...
In the face of an increasing world population and a subsequent need for increase in sustainable healthy food production, low trophic species, such as oysters, emerge promising alternative. However, regional variations oyster production techniques, market dynamics, consumption patterns create challenges both global local industry’s growth. this study, descriptive qualitative analysis markets across seven Atlantic regions was carried out. The Pacific (Crassostrea gigas) found to be farmed most...
Abstract Seagrasses are considered to be globally important for carbon sequestration and they provide a range of ecosystem services. However, also known vulnerable various anthropogenic activities, not least bottom contacting fishing gears such as dredging potting. We set out test the effects dredge fishing, in early spring potting late summer, historically fished but “pristine” seagrass meadow on west coast Ireland. found that despite pressures, growth seagrasses was driven by seasonal...
The term "Plastisphere" refers to a biofilm layer naturally formed by microorganisms attaching plastic surfaces. This possesses the capability adsorb persistent organic and inorganic pollutants, particularly trace metals, which constitutes central focus of undertaken research. Immersion experiments were concurrently conducted in five locations spanning four European countries (France, Ireland, Spain, Italy) utilizing eight distinct polymers. These immersions, repeated every months over...
Sustaining the growth of abalone aquaculture globally requires farm operators to satisfy specific diet requirements particular species grown. Components commercial feeds usually contain animal protein in form fishmeal. Rather than adding generic foodstuffs, formulated diets may be more effective when supplemented with substances metabolic use abalone. The inclusion proteins have physiological demands on and survival different as change colour shell bands components feed not exist natural...
