Approximately 70% of the aquatic-based production animals is fed aquaculture, whereby are provided with high-protein aquafeeds. Currently, aquafeeds reliant on fish meal and oil sourced from wild-captured forage fish. However, increasing use unsustainable and, because an additional 37.4 million tons will be required by 2025, alternative protein sources needed. Beyond plant-based ingredients, fishery aquaculture byproducts insect meals have greatest potential to supply over next 10–20 years....
Abstract Fishes that feed from live corals (corallivores) are a conspicuous component of healthy coral reef environments. However, knowledge the occurrence and ecological significance this feeding mode is fragmentary. Historically, very few fish were considered capable coral, those did ecologically insignificant. More recently, role corallivores has been re‐evaluated; published records document 128 corallivorous species 11 different families, with 69 these belonging to family Chaetodontidae....
The release of volatile inorganic elements during thermal conversion algal biomass may cause operational problems in industrial reactors such as fouling, deposition, corrosion, and bed agglomeration. Cl, S, P, K, Na the has been experimentally investigated this paper. A freshwater macroalga (Oedogonium sp.), a polyculture microalgae, marine microalga (Tetraselmis sp.) were used feedstocks to assess influence different species culturing environments on elements. Char ash samples prepared...
This article showcases a proof-of-concept in the production of high quality renewable biofuel from algae. Here, we introduce path combining number approaches that, when integrated as whole, create process that takes algae grown waste-water through to liquid fuel containing fractions ready for blending with regular gasoline, jet and diesel. With overarching goal reducing nitrogen content invariably associated whole algal biomass, apply including (i) nutrient starvation reduce internal...
Although spearfishing is a popular method of capturing fish, its ecological effects on fish populations are poorly understood, which makes it difficult to assess the legitimacy and desirability in multi-use marine reserves. Recent management changes within Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP) fortuitously created unique scenario by quantify populations. As such, we employed underwater visual surveys before-after-control-impact experimental design investigate density size structure target...
Abstract A major limiting factor in the development of algae as a feedstock for bioenergy industry is consistent production and supply biomass. This study first to access suitability freshwater macroalgal genus Oedogonium biomass applications. Specifically, we quantified effect CO 2 supplementation on rate production, carbon capture, quality when cultured large‐scale outdoor tanks. cultures maintained at pH 7.5 through addition resulted productivities 8.33 (±0.51) g DW m −2 day −1 , which...
Freshwater macroalgae represent a largely overlooked group of phototrophic organisms that could play an important role within industrial ecology context in both utilising waste nutrients and water supplying biomass for animal feeds renewable chemicals fuels. This study used from the intensive aquaculture freshwater fish (Barramundi) to examine how production rate protein content macroalga Oedogonium responds increasing flux carbon, by either exchange rates or through addition supplementary...
Abstract Evidence suggests that the restoration of plant diversity in grasslands not only brings benefits for biodiversity conservation, but also delivery ecosystem services. While biodiversity‐function experiments show greater increases resistance productivity to climate extremes, it is known whether real‐world management options grassland likewise stabilize responses extreme events. We used a long‐term (23 year) field experiment northern England test hypothesis aimed at and recovery carbon...
Recently, the use of algae for CO2 abatement, wastewater treatment, and energy production has increasingly gained attention worldwide. In order to explore potential using as an alternative fuel well possible challenges related gasification process, two species macroalgae, Derbesia tenuissima Oedogonium sp., one type microalgae, Scenedesmus sp. were studied in this research. work, was cultivated with protocols: producing biomass both high low levels nitrogen content. Cogasification 10 wt %...
Algae utilization in energy production has gained increasing attention as a result of its characteristics, such high productivity, rapid growth rate, and flexible cultivation environment. In this paper, three species algae, including fresh water macroalgae, Oedogonium sp., saltwater Derbersia tenuissima, microalgae species, Scenedesmus were studied to explore the potential using smaller amounts algae fuels blends with traditional woody biomasses gasification processes. Co-gasification 10 wt...
Greenhouse gas emissions are a global problem facing the dairy/beef industry. Novel feed additives consisting of seaweeds and hemp containing bioactive compounds theorized to reduce enteric methane emissions. In this study we aimed investigate metabolic profiles brown, red green using chromatography liquid mass spectrometry. We used targeted untargeted approaches, quantifying known halomethanes phenolics, as well identifying potentially novel with anti-methanogenic properties. The main...
Localised patterns of resource use can be constrained by multiple factors. Comparison at locations with differing availability allow fundamental specialists to distinguished from species that simply feed predominantly on prey types are locally abundant. This study investigates geographic variation in the feeding ecology coral‐feeding butterflyfishes examine whether and levels dietary specialisation vary among distinct locations, corresponding changes availability. Our specific aims were...
Abstract Protected areas (PAs) and agri‐environment schemes (AESs) are the main policy mechanisms for addressing terrestrial biodiversity loss in Europe. Landscape context can moderate their efficacy but has not been studied both concurrently. Both widely used to address ongoing declines of waders breeding on lowland wet grassland. Using a repeat, nationwide (England) survey, we investigate role PA status (nature reserves statutory designation), AES (bespoke general options), surrounding...
