Integrating mussel and finfish aquaculture has been recognized as a way to increase profits decrease environmental impacts of aquaculture, but not enough is known about the effects on growth. Here we present pilot study aimed at determining how distance from affects To this end, measured growth condition index (Mytilus galloprovincialis) three different distances (0, 60 700 m) in eastern Adriatic Sea. There was statistically significant difference tagged mussels with respect site. Average...
Abstract Oyster reefs are among the most threatened marine habitats globally. In Europe, oyster have been extirpated from locations within their historical range. Active restoration of native ( Ostrea edulis ) in Europe has grown substantially recent years. sharing experiences between projects at Native Restoration Alliance conference, NORA2, Edinburgh May 2019, it became apparent that a number similar barriers experienced. This study identified top 40 questions, which, if answered, would...
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis , is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe. Following its decline due to overfishing, pollution, sedimentation, invasive species, and disease, O. beds are now listed as threatened and/or declining species habitat by OSPAR. Increasing recognition of the plight alongside rapidly developing restoration techniques growing interest in marine restoration, has resulted recent rapid growth efforts. seed supply currently...
Abstract Vella, P., Bowen, R. E., and Frankic, A. 2009. An evolving protocol to identify key stakeholder-influenced indicators of coastal change: the case Marine Protected Areas. – ICES Journal Science, 66: 203–213. In recent years, there has been a growing realization need protect conserve degrading environments. This can only be achieved through integrated management environmental protection rational use living non-living resources. However, no plan that aims at sustainable development...
In July of 2003, an international workshop entitled "Marine-based Public Health Risk" was held at the International Marine Center in Sardinia.In attendance were more than two dozen distinguished experts myriad integrated fi elds associated with oceans and human health.Th e "Oristano Declaration" evolved from research, reporting, debate that workshop.
The protection and management of coastal zones will face new challenges in the age global climate change other exacerbating environmental issues. Addressing these require input effort from a broad range communities may include reaching beyond traditional participants management, such as scientists policy-makers, to involve commitments networks religious communities. Once seen be at odds, scientific are now finding common ground addressing concerns, particular through sharing key value...
An original model is presented that relates the rate of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) water use permit violations and reduced capacity events (dial-back) at once-through cooled thermoelectric power plants to electricity demand ambient environmental conditions using historical data. 31 percent U.S. generation composed facilities (open loop) cooling [1]. Open loop systems have substantial demands, which put energy downstream ecosystems risk during extreme climate...
It was with great excitement that we planned the combined meetings of Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Exposition (NACE) International on Shellfish Restoration (ICSR) 33rd Milford Seminar (MAS). Bringing these different but complementary audiences together resulted in a meeting many aspects fisheries restoration aquaculture under one umbrella.Four hundred attendees including government representatives, research scientists, industry, academia at both university vocational high school...
