Recreational fisheries contribute significantly to global economies through tourism, employment, and ecosystem service valorization. However, a systematic understanding of their economic magnitude and regional disparities remains fragmented. This study conducts a systematic review of 112 peer-reviewed articles published between 1991 and 2024, synthesizing the economic evidence across three key domains: consumer behavior, resou...

Cross-border maritime logistics requires coordination among carriers, ports, customs authorities, and financial institutions, yet existing workflows are often constrained by fragmented regulatory data systems, inefficient dynamic capacity matching, and slow batch-based clearing. This paper proposes B-MARCO, a blockchain-driven multi-national auction and resource optimization framework for cross-border maritime logistics. B-MAR...

Introduction The evolutionary history and biogeographic assembly of deep-sea Ophiuroidea remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to clarify the origin, spatial evolution, and long-term assembly of deep-sea ophiuroid diversity through an integrative framework. Methods We integrated multiple lines of evidence, including fossil paleogeography, taphonomic-control analyses, global biogeographic regionalization, directional...
