Decarbonising aquaculture support vessels is pivotal to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across both the aquaculture and maritime sectors. This study evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of deploying hydrogen as a marine fuel for a 14.95 m net cleaning vessel (NCV) operating in Tasmania, Australia. The analysis retains the vessel’s original layout and subdivision to enable a like-for-like comparison between...

Photoperiod serves as a significant environmental signal for organisms and plays a critical role in regulating their metabolic processes. This research aimed to investigate the lipid metabolism and nutritional quality of adults Litopenaeus vannamei (wet weight: 11.27 ± 0.73 g, body length: 12.45 ± 0.42 cm) under five photoperiods (0L:24D, 8L:16D, 12L:12D, 16L:8D, and 24L:0D) for 40 days in recirculating water systems (RASs). T...

Submarine fan reservoirs are important accumulation zones for oil, gas, and natural gas hydrates, offering significant potential for hydrocarbon exploration. During the deposition period of the Sanya Formation in the southern part of the Changchang Sag of the Qiongdongnan Basin, a large submarine fan developed. However, the internal structure, source-sink system, and formation mechanism of this fan remain poorly understood, po...

The Yellow River Estuary and its adjacent waters serve as crucial spawning, foraging, and nursery areas for marine organisms, possessing abundant biological resources. Monitoring fish communities provides a baseline for implementing the sustainable utilization of marine resources. In this study, data were collected from 15 spring surface and bottom sites and 17 summer surface sites using eDNA and trawl surveys. The results sho...
