There Is More to the Taxonomy of Schoenus apogon (Cyperaceae) Than Meets the Eye: An Unresolved Complex With Cytological Diversity - Yu Ito; Norio Tanaka; Jeremy J. Bruhl; Karen L. Wilson; Okihito Yano (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Schoenus apogon s . lat . is widely distributed in Australia, Japan and New Zealand. There has been limited cytological and molecular study of this species complex and putatively related species. Different chromosome numbers have been reported from New Zealand (2 n = 8) and Japan (2 n = 18), perhaps indicating taxonomic differences. We investigate the chromosome diversity and phylogenetic relationships in the S . apogon complex by root‐tip squashes to expand the sample of chromosome numbers, and by examining chloroplast and nuclear DNA gene regions ( trn L ‐trn F and ITS). Occurrence of 2 n = 8 is now known from Japan and Australia as well as New Zealand. Novel chromosome numbers recorded for Japanese samples, 2 n = 16 and 17, making an aneuploid series, and 2 n = 10 and 20 for Australian species indicate independent polypoid events. There is some evidence that the plesiomorphic chromosome number for the complex is 2 n = 10. Both gene regions recovered the S. apogon complex as monophyletic but relationships within the complex were largely unresolved. We found no support for recognition of S. caespitans and S. yarrabensis or several putative species as distinct from S. apogon . We suggest approaches for testing these results, aiming at a robust estimate of phylogeny for the complex.

White Spot Syndrome Virus Envelope Protein VP 53 B Functions as a Trypsin Inhibitor and Interacts With Hemocyanin - Wenxu Xia; Lingqi Zhuang; Yuchen Liu; Kai Li; Bing Qin; Shuling Yan; Yongxin Yu; Yongjie Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) remains a persistent and significant threat to the global shrimp aquaculture industry. However, its pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood, and no effective intervention strategies are currently available. In this study, we investigated the functional role of VP53B, an envelope structural protein of WSSV, using a combination of infection bioassays, protein structure prediction, protease inhibition assays and protein binding analyses. Our results demonstrate that VP53B is a critical determinant of per os (oral) infection in shrimp, including Procambarus clarkii (crayfish) and Litopenaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp). Functionally, VP53B acts as a trypsin inhibitor and interacts with host hemocyanin. We propose that through modulation of shrimp trypsin and hemocyanin, VP53B disrupts the prophenoloxidase‐activating system, a key innate immune pathway, thereby facilitating successful WSSV infection. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying WSSV oral infectivity and highlights VP53B as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Investigating the Antiviral Mechanism of Kaempferol Against Grouper Iridovirus: Combined Evaluation of In Vitro Activity and In Vivo Efficacy - Nijia Xue; Lin Huang; Jieying Yu; Jia Cai; Zhengzhao Liu; Yibing Wang; Shu Cheng; Junxiang Lai; Ying Pan; Qing Yu; Wenhong Li; Pengfei Li (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is one of the major pathogens that pose significant threats to the aquaculture industry. Kaempferol is a flavonoid compound extracted from Illicium verum Hook.f. (star anise), a material that is both edible and used in traditional medicine. In this study, we evaluated the antiviral effects of kaempferol against SGIV in vitro and in vivo, and elucidated the antiviral mechanism. Our study found that kaempferol could effectively resist SGIV infection in vitro and in vivo. Kaempferol might destroy the SGIV envelope and interfere with the attachment, invasion, and replication stages of SGIV infection. Transcriptomic analysis showed that differentially expressed genes regulated by kaempferol were enriched in ribosome, NF‐κB, and phospholipase D signalling pathways. Further screening of immunity‐related genes and pathway analysis revealed that antiviral immune responses were mainly governed by the JAK–STAT, PI3K‐Akt, and TNF signalling pathways. This study demonstrated that kaempferol exhibited significant antiviral effects against SGIV through multiple mechanisms and had the potential to become an anti‐SGIV fishery drug. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the development of effective drugs for the prevention and treatment of SGIV.

Two Contributions to the Hypogeous Boletales of China: A Novel Rhizopogon Species and a New National Record of Turmalinea persicina - Jia Li; Chang Xu; Tai‐Jie Yu; Wen‐Hao Zhang; Xiu‐Juan Li; Yu‐Xian Gao; Yuan‐Tian Lu; Li‐Ping Tang (New Zealand Journal of Botany, 2026)
Hypogeous Boletales are ectomycorrhizal fungi with sequestered hymenophores; some species are ecologically valuable as edible mushrooms. Despite their ecological and economical importance, the diversity of this group in China remains poorly understood. In this study, we performed phylogenetic analyses based on four loci (ITS, LSU, TEF1‐α , and RPB2 ) and detailed morphological examinations of specimens belonging to Rhizopogon (Rhizopogonaceae) and Turmalinea (Boletaceae). We describe and illustrate R. sinoevadens , a new species from China, and report the first Chinese record of T. persicina , a species originally described from Japan. These discoveries underscore the previously underestimated diversity of hypogeous Boletales in China and provide a foundation for future taxonomic and ecological studies.

Impact of extreme rainstorm on the spatial distribution of population exposure in Haihe River basin in China - C. Cheng; X. Fang; S. Zhang; Y. Yu; S. Yang; Y. Li; J. Liu; C. Mei (International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2026)
Based on daily rainfall data from 252 national meteorological stations in the Haihe River Basin of China during 1961–2023, rainstorm events were divided, and four characteristic variables representing the hazard index of rainstorms were statistically analyzed, including total number of rainstorm days ( I day ), cumulative rainfall ( I pre ), average daily rainfall ( I 24pre ), and maximum duration days ( I dur ). Combined with the 1 km gridded population density data of the basin, the population exposure ( PE ) during 1961–2023 under scenarios with and without the “23·7” extreme rainstorm was calculated using the product model of the rainstorm hazard index ( HR ) and exposed population. K-means clustering was adopted to analyze the impact of this rainstorm on the spatial distribution characteristics of watershed population exposure, and a quantitative assessment of the impact contribution rate ( PEC ) was provided. The results show that a single extreme rainstorm can cause changes in the spatial clustering of population exposure in nearly 1/3 of the districts and counties in the basin, and its contribution rate to rainstorm hazard index and population exposure can exceed 10%, which provides a scientific basis for the timely incorporation of typical extreme rainstorm cases and the updating of the flood control and drainage design assessment system as well as relevant codes and standards. The findings can also help optimize the layout of flood storage and detention areas, and provide references for the deployment and construction of X-band radars in areas along the front plain of the Taihang Mountains.

Storage timescales and the crystal growth history recorded in the layered reservoir of the Unit 3 Kulanaokuaiki Tephra Member of the Uēkahuna Ash from Kīlauea volcano - Abigail R. Nalesnik; Kendra J. Lynn; Timothy R. Rose; Jessica M. Warren; Dawn C. S. Ruth; Kuan-Yu Lin; Donald A. Swanson (Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, 2026)
The Kulanaokuaiki Tephra Unit 3 (900 C.E.) was a subplinian basaltic scoria eruption, the largest known to have occurred at Kīlauea’s summit. The initiation mechanism and cause(s) of this highly hazardous eruption remain poorly understood, particularly as this style of activity has not been observed in the modern period. We use olivine diffusion timescales from Fe-Mg and lithium zoning to assess magma storage timescales and evaluate evidence for mixing prior to eruption. Of the 200 crystals assessed, 55% are normally zoned for forsterite and 45% are non-zoned. Zoned crystals (> 1 mm) ( n = 96) have average compositions of Fo 89 cores and Fo 81 rims, while small crystals 0.5–1 mm ( n = 14) have Fo 85 cores and Fo 82 rims. Modeled Fo diffusion timescales range from n = 17), reflecting growth processes and precluding their use for diffusion studies. Overall, our Unit 3 olivine dataset displays no evidence of magmatic priming shortly prior to eruption, unlike prior observations for the basaltic subplinian eruption of the Keanakāko‘i Tephra Unit E (1650 C.E.). Thus, explosive eruption magmas may be stored for considerably longer than previously thought, and magmatic priming is not a necessary precursor for Kīlauea’s explosive eruptions. We hypothesize that gas-driven filter pressing from crystallization of microlites and macrocrysts in the reservoir slurry contributed to the explosivity of the Unit 3 eruption.

Real-Time Active Control of Low-Frequency Pressure Pulsations in a Liquid-Filled Pipeline for Marine Applications: Online Secondary-Path Modeling and Experimental Validation - Qichao Liu; Wenjing Yu; Guo Cheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Low-frequency pressure pulsations generated by shipboard pumps can propagate through liquid-filled pipeline systems and exhibit distinct line-spectrum characteristics, potentially affecting ship acoustic stealth. Because the secondary path varies with operating conditions, fixed offline models are susceptible to modeling mismatch, making online secondary-path modeling essential for reliable active control performance. However, conventional auxiliary-noise-injection-based methods suffer from coupling between the modeling and control processes, while continuous auxiliary-noise injection may deteriorate steady-state noise reduction performance. To address these issues, this paper proposes a variable-step-size online secondary-path modeling method based on multi-power regulation. By jointly regulating the modeling process, control process, and auxiliary excitation power, the proposed method adaptively adjusts the modeling-filter step size, control-filter step size, and auxiliary excitation level, thereby reducing coupling-induced modeling bias and limiting the persistent influence of auxiliary excitation on the residual error signal. Simulation results demonstrate that, compared with typical online secondary-path modeling methods, the proposed method achieves lower steady-state modeling errors and improved noise reduction performance. Furthermore, experiments conducted on a liquid-filled pipeline test rig show that the proposed method achieves low-frequency pressure-pulsation line-spectrum attenuation levels ranging from 8.32 to 14.09 dB under different operating conditions, demonstrating its effectiveness for active pulsation control in liquid-filled pipeline systems.

RGI-Net: A Recursive Gated Injection Network for Underwater Image Restoration in Marine Inspection - Yu Lin; Mingming Wen; Shuiyuan He; Laiyong Song (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Background: Underwater optical imagery used in marine inspection is degraded by wavelength-dependent attenuation and scattering, which couple color cast with structural haze. Existing restorers either treat both degradations in one stage or cascade separate networks and exchange information only through reconstructed images. Methods: This paper proposes RGI-Net, combining (i) a shared-weight two-pass pipeline that disentangles Lab chromatic correction from RGB structure refinement without duplicating the backbone and (ii) a 1×1 Gated Injection Bridge that transfers Pass-1 bottleneck features into Pass 2 under a learned element-wise gate, together with a recursive contrastive objective that includes a cross-pass consistency term. All methods are compared on identical test partitions under one evaluation pipeline (UIEB train/test, LSUI, EUVP, U45, C60). Results: Against WaterNet, PUIE-Net, CCL-Net, and Phaseformer, RGI-Net attains the best UIEB UIQM (2.21) and UCIQE (0.372), with PSNR/SSIM statistically indistinguishable from Phaseformer (Wilcoxon p>0.5). On the reported GPU, wall-clock latency is 41.00 ms, versus 61.64 ms for Phaseformer at 256×256, while RGI-Net has the largest parameter count and FLOPs in the comparison. Conclusions: Shared two-pass decoupling with gated bottleneck injection improves UIEB no-reference indices. Lower latency than Phaseformer on one workstation GPU is not a claim of overall computational efficiency, given the larger parameter and FLOP counts. UIQM and UCIQE are operational scores, not perceptual or inspection-task evidence; on EUVP, the best UIQM/UCIQE coincide with the lowest PSNR/SSIM among compared methods, which remains a substantial limitation.

Threshold-dependent effects of Clostridium autoethanogenum protein as the primary dietary protein source on growth, metabolism, and gut microbiota in Litopenaeus vannamei - Xiaobo Yan; Jun Yu; Yuxin Zhuo; Shengrong Guo; Zhao Yan; Beiping Tan; Lili Shi; Shuang Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
This study comprehensively evaluated the physiological, metabolic, and microbial responses of Litopenaeus vannamei to graded levels of Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP) used as the primary dietary protein source. The shrimp were randomly assigned to five iso-lipidic experimental diets containing 32%–48% crude protein. The fish meal content was fixed at 15% for each diet, and the protein level of the diet was adjusted by varying the amount of CAP added. The results indicated that: growth performance exhibited a distinct biphasic response, the CAP40 group achieved highest specific growth rate (SGR), whereas higher inclusions (CAP 44%-48%) significantly reduced SGR ( P < 0.05). Broken-line regression analysis identified 39.44% as the optimal dietary protein level for maximizing growth when CAP is the main protein source. Whole-body lipid content of shrimp increased significantly with higher dietary CAP inclusion ( P < 0.05), peaking in the CAP48 group. Physiological analyses showed that CAP40 enhanced intestinal digestion by upregulating the activity and gene expression of amylase, trypsin, and lipase. ( P < 0.05). Microbiota profiling revealed that CAP40 increased gut microbial alpha diversity ( P < 0.05), suggesting greater ecosystem stability. Functional metagenomic prediction using Tax4Fun further elucidated a critical trade-off: Moderate CAP inclusion (CAP40) enriched microbial pathways linked to lipid metabolism and host growth, but concurrently elevated the relative abundance of potential opportunistic pathogens such as Vibrio and Acinetobacter . In contrast, high CAP inclusion (CAP48) shifted the microbial community toward proteolytic amino acid catabolism and reduced pathogen load, yet this was accompanied by dysbiosis dominated by sulfate-reducing bacteria like Fusibacter . Collectively, these findings underscore CAP’s strong potential as a fishmeal replacer but highlight that its benefits are highly dose-dependent. Successful application in shrimp aquafeeds requires precise optimization of inclusion levels to balance growth promotion against the risks of metabolic imbalance and microbial instability.

The Impact of Urban Heat Island on Extreme Rainfall Events in Presummer Over the Pearl River Delta Metropolitan Region Under Different Synoptic Systems - Xi Lu; Wenxing Peng; Tiantong Yang; Hailai Duan; Yu Du (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
Urban heat island (UHI) effects significantly influence regional extreme rainfall. However, their varying impacts on presummer extreme rainfall events (EREs) under different synoptic systems in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) metropolitan region remain inadequately understood. Based on rain gauge observations from 2008 to 2021 and the K‐means clustering algorithm, this study aims to clarify how UHI effects influence the spatial distribution and diurnal variation of presummer EREs in the PRD across three dominant synoptic categories: Warm‐Sector (WS), Front/Shear Line (FS), and Cyclonic‐Anomaly (CA) systems. The results demonstrate that the association between UHI and EREs varies according to differing synoptic conditions. For WS EREs, strong UHI is accompanied by a shift in peak rainfall intensity from the early morning to the afternoon. The intensified precipitation is concentrated in the northern Pearl River Estuary during the afternoon coinciding with the accumulation of thermal energy that favours the development of local circulation. Regarding FS EREs, strong UHI conditions are associated with a northward retreat of the front and intensified sea breezes in the afternoon, with precipitation primarily concentrated over inland urban and downwind areas within the PRD region. In contrast, CA EREs, which are primarily influenced by cyclonic circulation, exhibit a reversed diurnal rainfall pattern under strong UHI conditions, with rainfall intensification occurring in coastal areas during the morning. This study provides observational evidence to enhance fine‐scale predictions of urban extreme rainfall and offers practical insights for urban flood risk mitigation and regional meteorological disaster prevention. Notably, these correlational results are physically plausible. However, further numerical sensitivity experiments are necessary to explicitly validate the proposed UHI‐driven mechanisms.

Blockchain adoption, pricing, and undeclaration in maritime dangerous goods transportation - Zui Xu; Mei Sha; Dayong Yu; Shuang Li; Jianli Shen; Yue Shang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Introduction Shippers may undeclare maritime dangerous goods as general cargo to avoid the preparation time, documentation burden, and freight premium associated with dangerous goods transportation, creating serious risks for vessel safety, port operations, and the marine environment. This paper examines whether blockchain-enabled documentation can mitigate such undeclaration by improving provenance information and shortening preparation and verification time in the dangerous goods channel. Methods We develop a game-theoretic model with one carrier and a continuum of heterogeneous shippers who differ in their marginal willingness to pay for service level, and in which the carrier endogenously sets the dangerous goods transportation price. We characterize the equilibrium declaration behavior under a benchmark scenario and under blockchain adoption, and extend the model to settings with carrier competition and enhanced detection. Results Undeclaration motives vary with the service environment: when dangerous goods service is relatively low, service-sensitive shippers undeclare to access the faster generalcargo channel; when service is sufficiently high, price-sensitive shippers undeclare to avoid the dangerous goods tariff. The carrier’s profit-maximizing price therefore does not generally coincide with the regulatory objective of zero undeclaration. Blockchain adoption introduces two opposing forces: a service-enhancement effect that encourages truthful declaration and a cost-escalation effect that raises the dangerous goods price. As a result, blockchain reduces undeclaration only when documentation-time savings dominate the price premium induced by adoption costs; when this condition fails, adoption may increase undeclaration and reduce compliant shipper surplus. Discussion Blockchain-enabled documentation is not a universal safety remedy. Its effect on undeclaration depends on the interaction between documentation-time savings and the adoption-driven price increase, and the extensions with carrier competition and enhanced detection show that blockchain deployment should be evaluated jointly with pricing, detection, competition, and regulatory policies.

Interactive Toxic Impacts of Thermal Stress and Residual Chlorine on Growth, Nutritional Composition and Digestive Physiology in Meretrix meretrix - Shuai Han; Sitong Wang; Haopeng Hu; Wenping Yang; Shuo Qin; Peng Gao; Yanming Sui; Yebing Yu; Mei Jiang; Lei Li (Fishes, 2026)
Thermal elevation and residual chlorine pollution are two anthropogenic stressors that co-occur in estuarine waters affected by coastal power plant effluents. A 30-day exposure experiment was established with six treatment combinations comprising three temperatures (27 °C, 28 °C, and 30 °C) and two residual chlorine concentrations (0 mg/L and 0.02 mg/L) on Meretrix meretrix. Sampling was conducted on days 0, 10, 20 and 30 of the trial. The results indicated that elevated temperature (30 °C) significantly suppressed shell height and total body weight, while residual chlorine (0.02 mg/L) exerted time-dependent effects on shell length and width, with a significant interactive effect on shell length only at day 30. Crude lipid content declined with increasing temperature and residual chlorine exposure, whereas moisture and ash contents showed significant two-way interactions at all sampling time points. Intestinal amylase activity was continuously regulated by both stressors, with interactive responses on days 10 and 20, and was significantly suppressed under combined high temperature and residual chlorine stress. Collectively, we infer that combined exposure to elevated temperature and residual chlorine impairs shell growth, muscle biochemical composition and intestinal amylase activity of M. meretrix. Long-term experiments are required to further clarify the joint toxic effects of thermal stress and residual chlorine on the clam species.

Development of a customized three-dimensional bolus using transparent gel wax and its application in electron beam therapy - Young Jin Won; Jung Ju Jo; Su Ah Yu; Su Jung Shim; Kum Bae Kim; Jung Hoon Kim; Sang Hyoun Choi; Samju Cho (Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2026)
This study aimed to develop a customized bolus using commercially available transparent gel wax (TGW) without requiring 3D printing technology and to evaluate its applicability in radiotherapy, including its physical and dosimetric characteristics. A dental alginate impression was taken from the curved surface of a mastectomy phantom to replicate the patient’s skin contour. Based on this, a silicone mould was fabricated, into which TGW was poured to form the customized bolus. The fabricated bolus was evaluated for its physical properties (density, electron density, homogeneity) and bolus conformity index (BCI), treatment planning dosimetric analysis, and actual dose measurements using optically stimulated luminescent (OSL) dosimeters, in comparison with a conventional vinyl gel sheet bolus (SuperFlex). The TGW bolus demonstrated high transparency and excellent homogeneity (standard deviation of internal HU: ±5.1), and its BCI was 0.03, indicating a very high level of conformity to the virtual bolus. Under 6 MeV and 8 MeV electron beam conditions, the TGW bolus showed mean dose errors of − 0.2% ± 1.3% and 0.5% ± 1.2%, respectively, which were numerically comparable to those of the SuperFlex bolus (0.6% ± 1.8% and − 2.1% ± 1.4%, respectively), with both systems providing clinically acceptable dose accuracy. In particular, the TGW bolus showed superior conformity and reproducibility in regions with high surface curvature, effectively reducing dose loss caused by air gaps. TGW is a low-cost, transparent, and flexible material that enables rapid fabrication (within one day) of a customized bolus through a simple moulding process. Its superior physical stability and equivalent dosimetric performance compared to existing products suggest strong potential for clinical application in radiotherapy.

Bias‐Corrected GEMS Total Column Ozone Dataset Over East Asia for Long‐Term Analysis - Ha Jeong Jeon; Sang Seo Park; Jae‐Hwan Kim; Juseon Bak; Hyunjin Lee; Jeong‐Ah Yu; Seung‐Yeon Kim (International Journal of Climatology, 2026)
This study developed the GEMS Level‐3 GT‐O3T (GEMS TROPOMI‐referenced Total Column Ozone) algorithm to construct a consistent long‐term ozone dataset by correcting GEMS biases using TROPOMI as a reference. The algorithm generates daily 0.25° gridded TROPOMI and GEMS total ozone datasets and applies monthly ratio‐based correction factors to minimise spatiotemporal discrepancies. Compared with TROPOMI, the RMSE decreased from 14.29 DU to 3.83 DU in 2023 and from 15.63 DU to 4.35 DU in 2024. The systematic underestimation observed in the original GEMS product, particularly over mid‐ and high‐latitude regions and across seasonal cycles, was significantly mitigated. Validation with Pandora measurements further demonstrated the effectiveness of the correction, with the mean bias error (MBE) decreasing from 12.21 DU to −2.32 DU. OMI, TROPOMI, and corrected GEMS data based on the GT‐O3T algorithm were then combined to create a merged record covering 2005–2024. The merged dataset closely reproduced Dobson observations with enhanced temporal continuity and reduced regional bias, particularly after 2023 when GEMS data were included.

Evaluation of Rice Yield Attributes, Loach Muscle Quality, and Soil Biochemical Composition Under Rice–Loach Coculture System - Chuanqi Yu; Wenlu Zhu; Wenjun Wang; Wenqiang Xu; Yu Liu; Xingtian Cai; Yanfa Xu; Defu Yang; Zhuqing Yang; Zirui Wang; Qiubai Zhou; Haohua He (Fishes, 2026)
This study aimed to evaluate rice yield attributes, loach Paramisgurnus dabryanus muscle quality, and soil biochemical composition under rice monoculture (RM), rice–loach coculture (RLC), and loach monoculture (LM). This trial was conducted for 90 days, and then rice, fish muscle and soil were obtained for analyses. The results showed that there were no significant differences in rice yield attributes between the rice–loach coculture (RLC) and rice monoculture (RM) groups. However, rice–loach coculture (RLC) improved muscle quality-related parameters, including increased hardness and springiness of loach muscle. Meanwhile, muscle metabolomic analysis showed that all the differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) in the significantly enriched pathways of lysine degradation and lysine biosynthesis were up-regulated in the rice–loach coculture (RLC) group compared with the loach monoculture (LM) group. Furthermore, the rice–loach coculture (RLC) improved soil physicochemical properties, including an increase in microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) content and activities of soil N-acquiring enzymes (NAG and LAP). Moreover, soil microbiome analysis showed that the abundance of Candidatus Koribacter versatilis, Acidobacteria bacterium WX27 and Pseudolabrys taiwanensis was significantly increased in the rice monoculture (RM) and rice–loach coculture (RLC) groups compared with the loach monoculture (LM) group. Pairwise Spearman’s correlation analysis of the top 30 soil microbial species and soil physicochemical properties indicated that Terrimonas sp. H1YJ31 showed a highly significant positive correlation with the soil N-acquiring enzymes (N-acetylglucosaminidase, NAG; leucine aminopeptidase, LAP) and a soil C-acquiring enzyme (exo-β-1,4-glucanase C1), whereas Gaiella occulta, Methyloceanibacter marginalis and Anaerohalosphaera lusitana had a highly significant negative correlation with S-NAG, S-LAP and S-C1. In short, the improved fish muscle quality and soil biochemical composition were ascribed to the increased hardness and springiness of loach muscle and the abundance of soil Terrimonas sp. H1YJ31.

Response and Damage Assessment on a Suspended Export Cable of a Fixed Offshore Wind Turbine - Chi Yu; Sheng Zhang; Yi Long; Cheng Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
As critical components of offshore wind farms, suspend export cables have attracted increasing attention owing to their complex dynamic responses under combined wave–current loading and cable–soil interaction, leading to structural failure and fatigue damage. A numerical framework is developed in the present study to investigate the dynamic responses of a power cable extending from an offshore wind turbine foundation located in the South China Sea. The model of the cable is described by using the absolute nodal coordinate formulation, considering the hydrodynamic load and cable–seabed interaction via the Morison equation and Randolph–Quiggin model, respectively. After model validation, the response characteristics of the cable under different metocean conditions are analyzed. The effects of waves, currents, and related environmental factors on structural strength, fatigue damage, and wear damage are further evaluated. The dynamic response of the cable exhibits pronounced non-uniformity along the arc length. The wave return period mainly affects the response amplitude, whereas the incident angle has a more significant influence on the dynamic response. Damage assessment further shows that instantaneous strength failure is not critical, as the maximum stresses remain below the allowable stress. Instead, fatigue damage and contact wear are concentrated near the transition region and touchdown point, where oblique wave–current action intensifies cyclic bending and wear growth. The results are expected to provide theoretical support and useful reference for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of cables in offshore wind farms.

Spatial Heterogeneity of Long-Term Sandy Shoreline Change Along Eastern Hainan Island, China (1987–2025) - Yuanting Ding; Yi Liu; Qiyi Du; Jitao Yu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Long-term shoreline change on tropical islands is spatially heterogeneous, but alongshore contrasts remain insufficiently resolved. We quantified shoreline change along the 151.1 km eastern sandy coast of Hainan Island, China, from 1987 to 2025 using Landsat-derived visually interpreted shoreline proxies and the Digital Shoreline Analysis System across 1413 transects. The coast was broadly stable to accretional, with a mean linear regression rate (LRR) of 0.49 m/yr and a mean net shoreline movement (NSM) of 17.72 m. Under the uncertainty-aware classification, 28.0% of transects were stable, 42.1% accretional, 8.2% erosional, and 21.7% indeterminate. For descriptive comparison, the eight sectors were grouped into three broad alongshore zones: a stable northern zone (Beaches A–B), an accretion-dominated central zone (Beaches C–E), and a heterogeneous southern zone (Beaches F–H). The strongest accretion occurred at Beach D (LRR = 7.63 m/yr), whereas the strongest erosion occurred south of the offshore artificial island at Beach F (LRR = −3.97 m/yr). These contrasts show that coast-wide stability or accretion can mask localized erosion. The observed patterns were spatially associated with differences in headland-bay morphology, nearshore seagrass beds, engineering structures, estuarine processes, and lagoon-inlet settings. The findings support beach-sector monitoring and differentiated coastal management.

Research on Hydrodynamic Performance of a 30 kW Rim-Driven Thruster and Its Coupling Mechanism with an AUV - Xia Yang; Kunkun Li; Xiong Deng; Dingfeng Yu; Yiyun Peng; Yan Luo; Yanyang Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
With the continuous expansion of deep-sea resource exploration, marine environmental monitoring, and underwater operations, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been increasingly widely applied. Aiming at the demand for high-performance main propulsion systems of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), this paper conducts research on the structural design and hydrodynamic performance of a 30 kW rim-driven thruster (RDT) and its coupling mechanism with AUVs. By combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and experimental methods, the influence of the advance coefficient on the open-water performance of the thruster is revealed. An integrated coupling simulation model of the AUV and RDT is established to analyze the performance attenuation law of the thruster and the characteristics of the coupled flow field under wake flow conditions, and to clarify the two-way interaction mechanism between the thruster and AUV. Towing tank tests were carried out at sailing speeds ranging from 1 to 4 kn, which verifies the reliability of the numerical simulation model and the matching performance between the thruster and AUV. The results show that the open-water efficiency of the thruster reaches a peak value of 0.536 at the advance coefficient J=0.8, which is close to the optimal efficiency range with good matching performance of the propulsion system Under wake flow conditions, the attenuation range of the thrust coefficient of the thruster is 12.45–16.53% with the increase in advance coefficient. The main reasons are the uneven inflow velocity and unstable flow field pressure distribution caused by the non-uniform wake flow at the AUV stern. At the ship speeds of 2 kn, 3 kn and 4 kn, the self-propulsion rotational speeds obtained from test fitting are in good agreement with the simulation results, with all relative errors less than 8%. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical reference for the engineering design of medium and high-power rim-driven thrusters as well as the matching optimization of AUV-thruster systems.

Efficient Preparation of Uniform Saturated Marine Clay via a Combined Vacuum–Capillary Technique - Long Yu; Xingsheng Zhao; Yunrui Han; Li Cheng; Xiaowei Feng; Gang Yang; Qing Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Model testing is an important method for investigating the interaction between marine structures and soil, and the preparation of high-quality saturated clay samples plays a crucial role in laboratory testing. In this study, a new method for preparing saturated soil samples was developed by combining vacuum extraction and permeation saturation, and its performance was validated through laboratory experiments. A series of laboratory tests, including the gravity and cutting-ring methods, was conducted on columnar soil samples to evaluate the impact of this new technique on soil properties. The results indicate that the soil samples prepared using the new method achieved saturation levels of at least 97% and spatial uniformity. In addition, a large-volume saturated clay sample preparation method was designed and experimentally validated specifically for large-scale model tests. Soil samples were prepared in a model box with dimensions of 300 mm (Lrec) × 300 mm (Wrec) × 200 mm (Drec) in 24–48 h. Both the T-bar penetration and vane shear tests were performed on the prepared soil samples to measure their undrained shear strength. The results show that the middle and lower layers of the large-volume soil samples exhibited spatial uniformity.

The Study on the Biological Characteristics of Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae Affected by the Deletion of the Iron Uptake System Genes tonB1 and tonB2 - Hua Jiang; Yufei Ji; Zhiqi Zhang; Yongxiang Yu; Chunyuan Wang; Yingeng Wang; Xiaojun Rong; Aijun Ma; Shuyi Li; Zheng Zhang (Fishes, 2026)
Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (PDD), a marine fish pathogen, has an unclear contribution of tonB genes to iron acquisition and pathogenicity. ΔtonB1-PDD and ΔtonB2-PDD mutants as well as their complemented strains were generated via homologous recombination from the virulent strain PDD1605. Growth was evaluated by monitoring OD600 with viable-count calibration, intracellular iron was measured using a colorimetric assay, biofilm was detected by crystal violet staining, transcription was analyzed through qRT-PCR, and pathogenicity was assessed via an 8-day intramuscular challenge in black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii). Under iron limitation induced by 100 μM 2,2′-dipyridyl, the maximum density decreased from 4.51 × 108 CFU/mL in wild-type (WT-PDD) to 4.00 × 108 and 3.64 × 108 CFU/mL in ΔtonB1-PDD and ΔtonB2-PDD respectively, and was largely restored after complementation. The intracellular iron content declined from 3.75 × 10−4 ± 4.00 × 10−6 nmol/106 cells in WT-PDD to 3.13 × 10−4 ± 1.05 × 10−5 nmol/106 cells in ΔtonB1-PDD and 2.55 × 10−4 ± 2.00 × 10−5 nmol/106 cells in ΔtonB2-PDD. Compared with WT-PDD, biofilm formation was reduced by 22.1% in ΔtonB1-PDD and by 24.8% in ΔtonB2-PDD. Deletion of tonB2 induced mild yet statistically significant transcriptional alterations in multiple iron acquisition and virulence-related genes, while colony morphology, swarming motility, hemolysis, phospholipase activity, biochemical traits, and antimicrobial susceptibility remained unchanged. In the high-dose challenge assay, WT-PDD caused 100% mortality within 2 days, whereas ΔtonB1-PDD and ΔtonB2-PDD caused 17/20 and 18/20 deaths respectively; all infected groups reached 100% mortality by day 3. In the low-dose challenge assay, WT-PDD, ΔtonB1-PDD, and ΔtonB2-PDD caused 12/20, 12/20, and 13/20 deaths by day 2, with cumulative mortalities reaching 80%, 70%, and 80% by day 8, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis detected no significant differences among the survival curves at either challenge dose. These findings suggest that tonB1 and tonB2 play roles in iron acquisition, low-iron adaptation, and biofilm formation, with tonB2 deletion exerting greater effects on growth and intracellular iron accumulation under iron-limited conditions.

Effects of Different Farming Models on Muscle Nutrients, Muscle Transcriptome and Intestinal Microbiota in Pelodiscus sinensis - Fuyong Huang; Kefan Guo; Xiao Liang; Lun Qian; Jinyu Tang; Qinghua Jiang; Lina Jiang; Jubin Xing; Yu Zhang; Qingman Yang (Fishes, 2026)
Farming models profoundly influence the biological traits of aquatic organisms. This study compared muscle nutrients, muscle transcriptome, and gut microbiota of Pelodiscus sinensis reared under rice-field and pond conditions. Compared with the pond group (Group P), the rice-field group (Group R) exhibited significantly lower linoleic acid (LA) and higher arachidonic acid (ARA), indicating an altered muscle fatty acid profile. Transcriptomic analysis further showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in fatty acid metabolic processes. For gut microbiota, Group R had a higher relative abundance of Firmicutes_C at the phylum level, and Acidaminococcus was uniquely detected at the genus level. These findings reveal that rice-field culture drives distinct muscle fatty acid profiles and gut microbial characteristics in P. sinensis, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the effects of rice-field culture on turtle nutrition and intestinal health.

A Ship Yaw-Angle Separation Method Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition and Multi-Dimensional Physical–Statistical Evaluation - Maorong Chen; Fan Yang; Hongtao Cai; Xiongbin Wu; Yunfeng Zhang; Liang Yu; Yilin Luo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
The yaw-angle signal output by shipboard attitude sensors (e.g., inertial navigation systems) is a composite of the heading and wave-induced yaw (WIY). The heading reflects large-scale directional changes due to maneuvering or voyage planning, exhibiting slowly varying, trend-like characteristics; WIY is the oscillatory motion caused by random wave–hull interaction, approximately following a zero-mean normal distribution. Accurately and adaptively separating these two components from the composite yaw-angle signal is a key technical challenge in ship motion monitoring or wave parameter inversion. This paper proposes a heading–WIY separation method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and multi-dimensional physical–statistical evaluation. The method adaptively decomposes the composite yaw signal via EMD and automatically determines the optimal mode combination through statistical evaluation. Moreover, a short-time segment processing strategy and overlap-region continuity checks are introduced to overcome heading trend variations over long time scales. The method is validated using a multi-scenario simulation dataset encompassing four conditions and various sea states, as well as at-sea collected data. Results demonstrate high extraction accuracy without requiring a system dynamics model or scenario-specific parameter tuning across all conditions. And the proposed method performs better in comparison to the conventional methods, particularly under conditions of spectral overlapped or high sea states.

Experimental Study on the Extreme Wave Run-Up Phenomenon of a Semi-Braceless Floating Wind Turbine Foundation Under Focusing Waves - Yanjun Mao; Yu-Fei Wu; Xiaoxu Huang; Xiaozhou Ma; Guohai Dong (Oceans, 2026)
A series of physical model tests of a semi-braceless floating wind turbine foundation (FOWT) under freak waves was conducted in the present work. The extreme wave run-up phenomenon on the FOWT columns was reported and investigated. The back column exhibits a median wave run-up amplification factor of 1.65 (a 65% rise from the baseline condition), with the maximum recorded value hitting 3.18, marking a 218% amplification compared to the reference wave run-up. Four factors contribute to this phenomenon, including the wave-trapped mode between columns, the shoaling effect of the pontoons, the relative motion between the platform and the wave surface, and nonlinear wave run-up. The extreme wave run-up corresponds to violent wave dynamic pressures, showing nonlinear column pressure distributions. Steeper local freak waves can lead to higher wave dynamic pressures on the columns, and slamming pressures occur under breaking waves in some harsh wave conditions. The peak slamming pressure on the back column reaches 300% of that on other columns. The wave run-up and wave pressures on the columns are relevant to the structure’s load level, which is crucial to the safety of the engineering design.

Intraseasonal variability and eddy-induced structural modulation of the North Pacific intermediate water revealed by multi-mooring observations - Qiang Ren; Yansong Liu; Yansheng Zhang; Shumin Tu; Wei Huang; Feng Nan; Ran Wang; Xinyuan Diao; Jianfeng Wang; Xinchuang Liu; Zifei Chen; Fei Yu (Ocean Science, 2026)
The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) plays an important role in regulating thermohaline structure and biogeochemical distributions in the North Pacific. However, limited continuous observations have hindered our understanding of its short-term variability and structural response to mesoscale processes. Based on 1 year mooring observations from three sites (M1–M3) in the western North Pacific, this study investigates the intraseasonal structural variability of the NPIW and its modulation by mesoscale eddies. The NPIW thickness exhibits pronounced intraseasonal variability, with a dominant period of approximately 60–80 d that is coherent among the three mooring sites. Unlike previous studies that mainly focused on temperature and salinity anomalies, this study introduces NPIW thickness as a structural diagnostic parameter to characterize the vertical compression and expansion of the intermediate layer associated with mesoscale variability. The results reveal a clear inverse relationship between NPIW thickness and salinity, indicating that anticyclonic conditions are generally associated with thinner and more saline intermediate layers, whereas cyclonic conditions correspond to thicker and relatively fresher layers. Spatial composite analyses further show that thickness and salinity responses exhibit clear regional differences, with stronger variability near the western boundary, likely related to complex water-mass redistribution and possible mixing processes. These findings provide quantitative observational evidence for intraseasonal variability in NPIW thickness and highlight its usefulness as a diagnostic indicator for mesoscale–intermediate water interactions in the North Pacific.

Effect of Guide Vane Case on Hydrodynamic Performance and Unsteady Pressure-Pulsation Characteristics of Shaftless Pump-Jet Thruster - Taofeng Wang; Sanming Song; Liming Li; Jinxing Yu; Kaizhou Liu; Adam Rushworth; Xisheng Feng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Propulsors are essential power units for underwater vehicles and major sources of self-noise, with unsteady pressure pulsations linked to flow-induced noise. To study the impact of guide vane case on the hydrodynamic performance and pressure pulsation of a shaftless pump-jet thruster, six guide vane configurations were first compared under a reference operating condition of 600 rpm: a vaneless baseline, fixed vertical guide vanes, fixed forward-inclined guide vanes, fixed reverse-inclined guide vanes, co-rotating guide vanes, and counter-rotating guide vanes. Based on this comparison, the vertical-vane and counter-rotating-vane configurations were selected for extended operating-condition analysis under three rotational speeds and three inflow conditions. Transient numerical simulations were conducted using the SST k−ω turbulence model. The rotating regions were defined in a rotating reference frame, and the unsteady rotor–stator interaction was resolved using a transient sliding-mesh interface. Results show that the counter-rotating guide vane configuration achieves the highest head and efficiency among the tested cases, with a head of 1.8955 m and efficiency of 0.7306, representing increases of 19.64% and 22.87% over the fixed vertical guide vane case. The fixed forward-inclined guide vane exhibits the strongest thrust fluctuation and pressure pulsation. Pressure-pulsation intensity generally decreases from the impeller rim toward the central axis. Frequency-domain results indicate that most cases are dominated by the blade-passing frequency, whereas the counter-rotating guide vanes show a response nearly twice this frequency.

Analysis of natural resource total factor productivity in China’s eastern coastal region based on integrating static SBM-DEA with multi-frontier decomposition - Chunjuan Wang; Yugu Cai; Ying Yu; Zheng Li; Dahai Liu; Ziao Huang; Zixi Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Identifying the sources of natural resource total factor productivity (NTFP) heterogeneity across regions is essential for informing marine economy policy. This paper integrates a static SBM−DEA model that accounts for undesirable outputs with a three−tier multi−frontier decomposition to analyze NTFP in China’s eastern coastal region. Using a province-year panel for 31 Chinese provinces during 2008–2020, constructed from indicators aggregated from natural-resource-dependent industries, we measure NTFP and decompose efficiency gaps into three components: regional technology disparities (SI), provincial heterogeneity (RI), and intra−provincial inefficiencies (MI). The results reveal that the eastern coastal region maintains a persistent NTFP advantage, approximately 2.3 to 2.8 times higher than inland areas, driven by marine industrial agglomeration, port−based logistics, and marine technological innovation. Within the coastal region, a three−echelon structure emerges: the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta define the national efficiency frontier; whereas Hainan and Guangxi lag behind mainly because of severe intra-provincial efficiency losses captured by the MI index. Significant positive spatial agglomeration of NTFP is observed, with high-efficiency clusters mainly concentrated in leading coastal provinces. However, the cross-provincial productivity spillover effect does not pass statistical significance tests, and the absolute NTFP gap between coastal and inland areas remains substantial. The proposed framework provides a replicable decision support tool for marine economy and resource management, enabling policymakers to identify the exact sources of regional inefficiency and design targeted, echelon-based strategies. This study supports data-driven governance of natural and marine resources under China’s dual-carbon goals, contributing to related research in marine economy management.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the axial skeleton. It is characterized by bony fusion and syndesmophyte formation of the spine, leading to compromised mobility, reduced quality of life and increased mortality. However, the underlying immune dysregulation in AS remains poorly understood. We comprehensively profiled the peripheral immune landscape of 30 patients with active AS, all of whom were TNF-α blocker-naïve, capturing the immune profile during the active disease phase without biologic interference. Using advanced 11-color flow cytometry and FlowSOM clustering, 584 immunophenotypes were analyzed in AS and 30 age-and sex-matched healthy controls, with emphasis on both cellular composition and functional characteristics. AS patients displayed a distinctive functional “activated-exhausted” immune phenotype, dominated by CD4 + CD28 + CD38 + PD-1 + T cells and HLA-DR + CD38 + CD4 − CD8 − double-negative (DN) T cells. DN T cells were significantly enriched in HLA-B27-positive patients, suggesting potential as a biomarker. Network analysis revealed seven central immune subsets associated with active disease, while functional assessment demonstrated impaired CD95 + CD8 + T cell apoptosis and disrupted B-cell maturation. These findings provide a detailed functional immune map of biologic-naïve active AS, offering novel mechanistic insights and identifying candidate biomarkers for precision intervention.

An Analysis of Growth Characteristics and Population Dynamics of Cynoglossus gracilis in the Offshore Waters of Liaoning Province, China - Lin Zhang; Yingyou Zhou; Zengqiang Yin; Qifa Zhang; Yikai Lan; Quan Yu; Jiahang Wei; Fan Du; Lei Chen (Fishes, 2026)
This study investigated the population dynamics of Cynoglossus gracilis in the offshore waters of Liaoning Province, China, to support sustainable fisheries management. Biological samples were collected from five major fishing ports between March and November 2024. Population dynamics were assessed based on growth, mortality, and exploitation parameters, and four seasonal fishing closure scenarios were evaluated using egg production per recruit (EPR) and spawning biomass per recruit (SBR) models. The estimated exploitation rate (E = 0.53) indicated that the stock was experiencing relatively high fishing pressure but remained close to the sustainable exploitation reference level. Yield-per-recruit analysis suggested that increasing the minimum catchable size could improve resource utilization efficiency. Among the evaluated closure scenarios, the April–September closure provided the greatest conservation benefit by enhancing reproductive potential and protecting spawning stock biomass. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing harvest regulations and seasonal closure strategies, contributing to the sustainable management of Cynoglossus gracilis resources in the offshore waters of Liaoning Province.

Effects of Current Conditions and Mooring-Line Arrangements on Mooring Forces of Immersed Tube Segments - Ting Ji; Yang Yang; Wensen Zhang; Peng Yu; Jiuchao Chen; Lie Yu; Junhao Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
During the floating transportation and installation of immersed tube tunnels, the mechanical stability of the mooring system is a key factor governing construction safety. Current conditions and mooring-line arrangements are two major factors controlling the magnitude and distribution of mooring-line tensions. However, their coupled effects and the applicability of different calculation methods remain insufficiently understood. Based on a large-cross-section immersed tube tunnel project, this study employed a semi-empirical method specified in the Chinese Code for Loads on Port Engineering and a three-dimensional floating-body-mooring numerical model established in ANSYS AQWA. Multiple combinations of current velocity and direction were considered to compare the mooring-line responses under five typical arrangements corresponding to different construction stages. The effects of current conditions and mooring configurations on the magnitude, distribution, and transfer of mooring-line loads were systematically examined. The results show that current velocity is the dominant factor controlling the magnitude of mooring-line tensions, which generally increase with the square of the current velocity. Changes in current direction directly alter the principal load-bearing mooring-line group, and a current velocity of 1.5 m/s during the falling tide represents the most unfavorable current condition throughout the construction process. The mooring-line arrangement governs the spatial distribution and concentration of the line loads. During the floating transportation and mooring stages with multi-line constraints, the maximum mooring-line tensions calculated using China’s code-based method are 18.5–25.2% higher than those obtained from the numerical simulations, indicating relatively conservative predictions. In contrast, during stages with weakened constraints, such as line release and positioning in the foundation trench, the numerical model captures more pronounced local load concentration, yielding maximum tensions 19.4–28.8% higher than those predicted by the code-based method. Across all operating conditions, the maximum mooring-line tensions calculated by the code-based method and numerical model are 924 and 750 kN, respectively. This study clarifies the coupled effects of current conditions and mooring-line arrangements on mooring-load transfer and identifies the applicable scenarios of the two calculation methods. The findings provide a quantitative basis for calculation-method selection, mooring-force assessment, and construction-safety management during immersed tube tunnel installation.

Simulation and risk assessment of oil spill adsorption along complex coastlines in multi-island areas - Yu Li; Feng Zhou; Min Bao; Zhenyi Cao; Yanyu Chen; Gang Zheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2026)
Oil spills in multi-island regions with complex coastlines pose severe threats to marine ecosystems. Traditional oil spill models typically use a static “infinite absorption” assumption for shoreline interactions, which does not represent finite shoreline retention capacity or subsequent shoreline release. To address this limitation, this study incorporates a dynamic adsorption-desorption physical mechanism based on substrate types into the Lagrangian particle tracking module of the SCHISM model. By introducing a substrate-specific maximum oil retention capacity, along with exponential desorption and permeation algorithms parameterized by constant, substrate-specific half-lives, the improved model represents the partitioning of stranded oil among surface-stranded, desorbed, and permeated compartments across four shoreline types: bedrock, gravelly, tidal flat, and artificial. Numerical experiments show that the improved model produces a rise-then-fall evolution of surface-stranded oil through the modeled competition among shoreline retention, desorption, and seepage, in contrast to the static mass partitioning produced by the original algorithm. Furthermore, shoreline substrate type is a key factor in determining oil partitioning: tidal flats exhibit extremely high surface retention, while gravelly shorelines cause substantial deep permeation. The improved model is then applied to the Zhoushan Archipelago, where a maximum-envelope methodology is used to extract the full domain cumulative oil concentration distribution across all simulation scenarios. Combined with an environmental sensitivity map, this yields a high-resolution oil spill risk zoning map that reveals the spatial reshaping of risk driven by hydrodynamic transport and ecological vulnerability. This study provides a more process-resolved representation of oil shoreline interactions in complex archipelagic waters and offers scenario based relative information for regional oil spill response planning and ecological protection prioritization.

Targeting Peroxiredoxin 6: Tannic Acid Inhibits Singapore Grouper Iridovirus Infection via PRDX6‐Dependent Pathway and Antioxidant Response - Xiangmou Qin; Chen‐Ao Li; Lin Huang; Qing Yu; Mingming Zhao; Yanxia Gao; Jiaxi Li; Jia Cai; Huapu Chen; Fei Ling; Junxiang Lai; Ermeng Yu; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026)
Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) is a major viral pathogen threatening grouper aquaculture. The lack of specific antiviral drugs underscores the urgent need to develop safe and effective control strategies. This study demonstrates that tannic acid (TA) exhibits significant anti‐SGIV activity in vitro. In grouper spleen (GS) cells, TA inhibited SGIV replication in a concentration‐dependent manner. Time‐of‐addition assays confirmed its antiviral efficacy when applied either before or after SGIV infection. Mechanistically, TA directly interfered with SGIV particle infectivity, viral adsorption, entry and intracellular replication. Network pharmacology analysis suggested TA's targets are associated with host cellular antioxidant pathways, among which Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) was identified as a potential target of TA. Further experiments confirmed that TA upregulated the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway and suppressed the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‐1β, IL‐8). Notably, TA enhanced the expression of PRDX6, and overexpression of PRDX6 significantly inhibited SGIV replication, indicating that PRDX6 contributes to the antiviral effect of TA. In vivo, TA treatment not only restored PRDX6 expression in infected groupers but also significantly reduced viral load in liver and spleen following SGIV infection. These findings demonstrate that TA inhibits SGIV through direct viral interference and PRDX6‐mediated antioxidant modulation, highlighting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent against SGIV.

Dynamic Response Analysis of IEA 15 MW FOWT Under Extreme Focused Wave–Wind Conditions Based on Multi-Region Coupled Method - Bin Wang; Jiawei Yu; Chao Luo; Yujia Tang; Yongqing Lai; Yefeng Cai (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
This study employs a multi-region coupled method to investigate the motion responses and aerodynamic load variations of the IEA 15 MW semi-submersible floating wind turbine (FOWT) under extreme focused wave conditions. The methodology employs the self-developed MRFoam solver within OpenFOAM to integrate aerodynamic and hydrodynamic analyses. The computational framework combines an incompressible viscous flow model with kOmegaSST turbulence closure and an actuator line representation of turbine blades. Extreme wave conditions are generated using NewWave theory, with systematic variations in wave height and wind speed to evaluate coupled effects. Results demonstrate that platform heave responds predominantly to wave excitation, showing minimal wind sensitivity. Turbine thrust maintains consistent mean values across wave conditions but exhibits wind-speed-dependent fluctuations. Mooring dynamics correlate strongly with surge motions, showing amplified tension variations from wave-induced platform displacements, though mean tensions remain stable under uniform wind regardless of wave magnitude.

Recent Advances in Image-Based 3D Reconstruction: a Photogrammetric Perspective on Conventional and Learning-Based Techniques - Xin Wang; Tengfei Wang; Markus Hillemann; Yifei Yu; Zhe Shen; Zongqian Zhan; Rongjun Qin; Markus Ulrich (PFG – Journal of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Science, 2026)
Image-based 3D reconstruction is vital in many applications, such as digital twins, smart cities, machine vision, and autonomous driving. In recent years, it has undergone a paradigm shift, propelled by advancements in both conventional photogrammetry and deep learning. This review provides a comprehensive photogrammetric perspective on both conventional and learning-based techniques, a viewpoint that prioritizes geometric fidelity, robustness, handling of uncertainty, and suitability for real-world applications. We first systematically revisit the fundamentals of traditional pipelines: Structure from Motion (SfM), Multi-View Stereo (MVS), and surface reconstruction. The review then details recent progress in conventional methods, highlighting innovations in scalable and efficient SfM, specialized camera models for MVS, and robust surface reconstruction algorithms. Subsequently, we explore the transformative evolution brought by learning-based techniques, including deep SfM, learning-based MVS, differentiable rendering-based scene representation methods (NeRF, 3DGS), groundbreaking feed-forward 3D reconstruction models (e.g., DUSt3R, VGGT), and surface reconstruction including explicit and implicit methods. Emphasis is placed on evaluating whether learning-based approaches genuinely meet photogrammetric requirements such as metric accuracy and reliability, rather than optimizing solely for visual realism. Furthermore, we conclude by identifying key challenges and research frontiers including generalization across domains, scalability to high-resolution imagery, real-time performance, and uncertainty quantification. By bridging the gap between classical photogrammetry and data-driven 3D vision, this work aims to guide future research toward robust, accurate, and certifiable 3D reconstruction systems suitable for engineering, industrial, and geospatial applications.

A spatially discretized convolutional neural mass model for studying meso-scale spatio-temporal transformations in the rat hippocampus - Duy-Tan J. Pham; Gene J. Yu; Gianluca Lazzi; Jean-Marie C. Bouteiller (Journal of Computational Neuroscience, 2026)
The brain operates across multiple spatial and temporal scales, necessitating computationally efficient models that link micro-scale mechanisms to meso- and macro-scale dynamics. Here, we introduce a novel convolutional neural mass model (CNMM) that computes the meso-scale activity of spatially discretized neural populations (“neural masses") in the rat hippocampal CA3 subregion. The CNMM employs a kernel-based architecture, leveraging first-order Volterra expansions with Laguerre (temporal) and Chebyshev (spatial) basis functions to transform input spike densities from entorhinal cortex (EC), dentate gyrus (DG), and neighboring CA3 masses into output CA3 spike density. The model was trained and validated using data from a biophysically detailed large-scale mechanistic model (LSM) simulating exploratory behavior. The CNMM achieved high predictive accuracy for spike density across 32 neural masses spanning the entire extent of CA3 (mean correlation coefficient $$R = 0.951 ± 0.027$$ ) and replicated theta and beta oscillations consistent with experimental findings. When extended for forward modeling, the CNMM accurately predicted local field potentials (LFPs) at a single neural mass ( $$R = 0.952$$ ), demonstrating feasibility of this approach. Kernel analysis revealed topographic gradients in afferent integration, with DG inputs dominating proximally (CA3c) and associational connections distally (CA3a), aligning with anatomical gradients. Compared to the LSM, the CNMM provided a 658-fold speedup in simulation time, 322-fold reduction in memory usage, and 183-fold less disk space for LFP predictions. This framework offers a scalable, efficient approach for meso-scale modeling of neural tissue, bridging detailed simulations with empirical data and laying groundwork for future investigations into both normal and pathological brain function.

A practical guide to investigating biomolecular condensates: a comment from the plant community - Jiaxuan Peng; Jaime Agudo-Canalejo; Monika Chodasiewicz; Daniël Van Damme; Vangelis Daskalakis; Manuel González-Fuente; Rui Gao; Emmanouela Filippidi; Hongwei Guo; Shengbo He; Kai Huang; Shuai Huang; et al. (Science China Life Sciences, 2026)
Biomolecular condensates formed through phase separation have emerged as a central principle of cellular organization, enabling the dynamic regulation of gene expression, signaling, metabolism, and stress responses. While early conceptual advances in condensate biology have largely originated from animal and in vitro systems, plant cells present a unique set of biological and technical challenges, including rigid cell walls, turgor pressure, plastid autofluorescence, complex endomembrane organization, and acute environmental responsiveness. These distinctive features impede the direct transfer of existing methodologies and drive the development of heterogeneous experimental practices. In this community comment, we present a comprehensive methodological framework for studying biomolecular condensates in plants, spanning in silico prediction, in vitro reconstitution, molecular dynamics simulations, live-cell and super-resolution imaging, material property measurements, membrane-associated condensates, and synthetic condensate engineering. We highlight best practices, common pitfalls, and plant-specific considerations, emphasizing the need for orthogonal validation, quantitative interpretation, and physiological relevance. By consolidating current methodologies and articulating shared principles, this review aims to establish a foundation for rigorous, reproducible, and conceptually coherent research in condensate biology of plants and beyond, with emerging implications for crop genetic improvement and synthetic biology applications.

Aerobic Denitrification Reactor with Pseudomonas chloritidismutans K14 Improves Water Quality and Growth of Hybrid Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂) in RAS - Xueliang Sun; Yan Zhuang; Yue Sun; Xiaohan Yang; Yunchen Tian; Hongyue Shi; Zhenzhen Fang; Shuwang Hou; Hong Yu; Xiaoya Yin (Fishes, 2026)
The intensification of mariculture has increased nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in aquaculture wastewater. Conventional treatments often prove inefficient under saline conditions. To address this challenge, we developed an innovative aerobic denitrification reactor using Pseudomonas chloritidismutans K14, specifically tailored for seawater systems. Our study examined the effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio on pollutant removal and critically assessed the physiological benefits for hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂). At an optimal HRT of 8 h and a C/N ratio of 8, the system achieved high removal efficiencies: 95.5% for NH4+-N, 92.4% for NO2−-N, 93.8% for NO3−-N, 92.8% for total nitrogen (TN), and 84.8% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), along with a 47.3% reduction in total phosphorus (TP). More importantly, the system significantly enhanced grouper health by improving growth performance, digestive enzyme activities, and antioxidant capacity, along with a trend toward improved nonspecific immune indicators. The feed conversion ratio was optimized to 2.28, with a weight gain rate of 117.07%. Our findings establish this optimized aerobic denitrification system as an integrated strategy that effectively combines water purification with indirect health benefits, offering a sustainable solution for mariculture.

A Wind Data Quality Control Algorithm Utilizing Deep Learning-Based Association Test Rules - Ruidi Ma; Song Gao; Fan Jiang; Bo Yu; Haoqiang Tian; Yanchen Song; Yong Ge; Dianjun Ren; Chenxu Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Harnessing the powerful learning and modeling capabilities of artificial intelligence, this study introduces a deep learning-driven wind data quality control algorithm that employs correlation verification rules. By constructing a Dual-Track Information Fusion Network (DTF-Net), it captures local temporal variations in wind speed via the temporal track and uncovers physical coupling relationships among temperature, pressure, wind direction, and other variables through the global track. Integrating dynamic three-standard-deviation spike detection with 3δ-RMSE spatial validation based on deep learning predictions, the algorithm enables multi-dimensional collaborative anomaly detection in the absence of neighboring stations. Experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed method achieves Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) of 0.217, 0.398, and 0.462 for 1 h, 12 h, and 24 h wind speed forecasts, respectively, representing a 3.8–61.3% reduction compared to general-purpose models like AutoFormer, ITransformer, and FiLM. The anomaly detection rate for quality control ranges from 0.33% to 9.20%, effectively identifying data aberrations during buoy maintenance, equipment failures, and abrupt changes in short-term weather patterns. This study leverages the powerful learning and modeling capabilities of artificial intelligence to establish a novel and easily understandable intelligent quality-control paradigm for sparse ocean observation networks, providing direct practical value for improving the quality of marine meteorological data assimilation.

Dynamic Analysis of Jacket-Type Offshore Wind Turbine Considering Equivalent Scour Effect and Wind-Wave Directionality - Bin Wang; Jiawei Yu; Chao Luo; Yujia Tang; Yongqing Lai; Jingxian Fan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2026)
Jacket foundations, with their excellent adaptability and economic efficiency, have been increasingly widely applied in medium-deep water areas. However, the scouring and erosion effects in the marine environment, coupled with complex wind-wave loads, have severely restricted the long-term safe service of jacket foundations. In this study, a structure-pile-soil coupled dynamic response model considering the effects of scour depth and changes in wind and wave directions for the jacket-type offshore wind turbine is developed by integrating the wind and wave load generation capability of OpenFAST and the nonlinear pile-soil interaction analysis function of OpenSees. By quantitatively analyzing key response parameters such as tower top displacement, nacelle acceleration, and internal forces of the foundation tower and pile shaft, this study reveals the significant influence of soil stiffness degradation induced by scour on structural dynamic characteristics, and verifies the effective suppression mechanism of the feathering shutdown strategy on structural responses under extreme loads. The research results indicate that scour has a negligible impact on the fundamental frequency of the jacket-type offshore wind turbine structure, while it significantly reduces the high-order frequencies and leads to a substantial increase in pile shaft internal forces; the effect of wind-wave angle intensifies the spatially coupled vibration response of the structure. The study provides important theoretical and technical support for the anti-scour design, multi-directional load assessment, and formulation of safety control strategies for jacket foundations in complex deep-sea environments.
