Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) is a major contributor to ocean pollution, with extensive social, economic, and environmental impacts. However, quantitative ALDFG estimates are dated limited in scope. To provide current global estimates, we interviewed fishers around the world about how much they lose annually multiplied reported losses by effort data. We estimate that nearly 2% of all gear, comprising 2963 km2 gillnets, 75,049 purse seine nets, 218 trawl 739,583...
In the age of Anthropocene, ocean has typically been viewed as a sink for pollution. Pollution is varied, ranging from human-made plastics and pharmaceutical compounds, to human-altered abiotic factors, such sediment nutrient runoff. As global population, wealth resource consumption continue grow, so too does amount potential pollution produced. This presents us with grand challenge which requires interdisciplinary knowledge solve. There sufficient data on human health, social, economic,...
Derelict fishing nets comprise a significant amount of the marine debris in world's oceans and on its shorelines. These 'ghost nets' result economic losses for industry, pose hazards to navigation at sea, can entangle terrestrial wildlife. Ghost are an acute problem along Australia's northern coastline, with most originating from Southeast Asian vessels outside Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). To understand causes gear loss identify tractable solutions this transboundary problem, Australian...
Abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) comprises a significant amount of global marine debris, with diverse impacts to environments, wildlife, and the industry. Building evidence on ALDFG is critical holistically understand debris issue, inform development solutions that reduce amounts sources recover existing gear. Substantial work has been continues be undertaken around world collect data ALDFG, much which remains unpublished. To provide picture we organized technical session...
Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) represents a major sea-based source of marine debris globally, with far-reaching socioeconomic and environmental impacts. Estimates the amount ALDFG entering ocean have implications for managers policy makers as they work to tailor solutions at scale. While scientists worked since 1970s develop quantitatively rigorous estimates ALDFG, estimate that 640,000 tonnes enters annually has been repeatedly erroneously cited over decade. We...
Abandoned, Lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) comprises a significant part of global marine plastic pollution, with adverse consequences for fishers, the seafood industry, and wildlife habitats. To effectively prevent reduce ALDFG at source, an understanding major causes drivers behind losses is required. We interviewed 451 fishers from seven countries around world (Belize, Iceland, Indonesia, Morocco, New Zealand, Peru, United States America) representing five key types...
From a study of 3 large half-sib families cattle, we describe linkage between DNA polymorphisms on bovine chromosome 7 and meat tenderness. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Longissimus lumborum peak force (LLPF) Semitendonosis adhesion (STADH) were located to this map markers, which includes the calpastatin (CAST) lysyl oxidase (LOX) genes. The LLPF QTL has maximum lodscore 4.9 allele substitution approximately 0.80 phenotypic standard deviation, is over CAST gene. STADH 3.5 an 0.37 LOX...
We assess the implications on long-run average energy production costs and emissions of CO2 some criteria pollutants from coupling wind, solar natural gas generation sources. utilize five-minute meteorological data a US location that has been estimated to have both high-quality wind resources, simulate coupled system produces constant amount electric energy. The turbine is utilized provide fill-in for wind/solar system, compared base case where power output. impacts variability over multiple...

We present the complete chloroplast genome sequence of an endophytic Ostreobium sp. isolated from a 19th-century coralline red algal specimen St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. The is 84,848 bp in length, contains 114 genes, and has high level gene synteny to other Ostreobiaceae.
Abstract The objective of this research was to validate the use Fleishman's human abilities taxonomy approach in predicting performance loading U.S. Navy's Close‐In Weapon System (CIWS). An experiment conducted that compared actual and predicted CIWS operations. Twenty‐one male students staff from School, Fleet Training Center, were participants experiment. They ranged age 20 35 years (mean = 27.2, standard deviation 4.88) with an average 81.1 months (standard 51.83) military experience...
