High-quality video observations are very much needed in underwater environments for the monitoring of several ecosystem indicators and to support sustainable development management almost all activities ocean. Reliable however challenging collect, because generally poor visibility conditions difficulties deploy cost-effective sensors platforms marine environment. Visibility water is regulated by natural light availability at different depths, presence suspended particles, scattering incident...
Fuel Oil Consumption (FOC) accounts for a significant proportion of vessel's operating costs. The cost fuel fishing vessel operation may often go up to 50% or more. Accurate forecasting FOC in voyage planning stage is essential route optimization decision support system with the objective fuel-saving, which difficult because future state and its power machinery systems modelling are not available during stage. Moreover, environment conditions impact on performance should be considered. In...
Among the various challenges facing tropical tuna purse seine fleet are need to reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprint, as well minimising bycatch of vulnerable species. Tools designed for forecasting optimum fishing grounds can contribute adapting changes in fish distribution due climate change, by identifying location new suitable grounds, thus reducing search time. While information about high probability find species could result a reduction. The present study aims at contributing...
Fishing vessels need to adapt and mitigate climate changes, but solution development requires better information about the environment vessel operations. Even if ships generate large amounts of potentially useful data, there is a variety sources formats. This lack standardization makes identification use key data challenging hinders its in improving operational performance design. The work described this paper aims provide cost-effective tools for systematic acquisition fishing vessels,...
Fishery monitoring programs are essential for effective management of marine resources, as they provide scientists and managers with the necessary data both preparation scientific advice fisheries control surveillance. The is generally done by human observers, in port onboard, a high cost involved. Consequently, some Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) opting electronic (EM) an alternative or complement to observers certain fisheries. This case tropical tuna purse seine...
The condition-based maintenance of marine propulsion systems is attracting increasing interest in safety-related, financial, and environmental terms. Many researchers have studied different diesel engine models fault identification techniques. However, the thresholds between a healthy faulty not been thoroughly analysed. Thus, this study aims to determine threshold values for multiple parameters engine. To end, an operative commercial fishing vessel was considered, performance variables were...
The authors present a relatively simple autometallographical procedure for tnetal localization in biological tissues. protocol demolistrates tnetals at very low concentrations certain key tissues of winkles atid mussels. following procedural variables have been considered: the type fixation, photographic emulsion and its way application, developes. In addition, some staining techniques were used to contrast without masking revealed metal deposits by significant background levels. offers...
Abstract Andonegi, E., Fernandes, J. A., Quincoces, I., Irigoien, X., Uriarte, Pérez, Howell, D., and Stefánsson, G. 2011. The potential use of a Gadget model to predict stock responses climate change in combination with Bayesian networks: the case Bay Biscay anchovy. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 68: 1257–1269. European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) is short-lived pelagic species distributed Atlantic waters, being one main centres abundance. Because it species, state determined largely...
Located in the southeastern Bay of Biscay, eastern Cantabrian Sea is characterized by presence Capbreton Canyon and a highly diverse complex geomorphology. The sedimentary seafloor dominant biota inhabiting it has been widely studied. objective present research to contribute knowledge spatial variability composition soft-bottom macrofaunal communities transitional zone from continental shelf tributary valleys Canyon. A total 72 grab samples was studied covering range depths 97–1476 m....
Abstract Understanding population connectivity within a species as well potential interactions with its close relatives is crucial to define management units and derive efficient actions. However, although genetics can reveal mismatches between biological other relevant but hidden information such misidentification or hybridization, the uptake of genetic methods by fisheries process far from having been consolidated. Here, we have assessed power better understand white ( Lophius piscatorius...
This dataset presents the macrobenthic species abundance and biomass in soft bottom areas located at southeastern Bay of Biscay. Data on organic matter content grain-size distribution surficial seafloor sediments is also provided. Samples were obtained with Shipek Smith-McIntyre type grabs several surveys carried out between 2010 2020, covering a range depths 32–2241 m. Abundance are given. database useful for (i) research spatial variability communities, (ii) baseline knowledge area. The...
