Improved sustainability of aquaculture can be achieved by reducing product wastage post-harvest. Aquaculture of the green-lipped mussel, Perna canaliculus , is an important industry for New Zealand, which increasingly exports to live markets. Live transport can keep mussels fresh, but mussels could also be susceptible to handling stresses. To remedy this, pre-treatments that make mussels metabolically depressed, and thus poten...

The oceanography sub-initiative of Canada’s Oceans Protection Plan was tasked to develop high-resolution nearshore ocean models for enhanced marine safety and emergency response, fitting into the multi-scale, multi-level nested operational ocean forecasting systems. For decision making on eventual 24/7 operational support, two ocean models (a structured grid model, NEMO (Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean); and an uns...

We used longline fishing to determine the effects of distance from the ocean, season, and short‐term variation in abiotic conditions on the abundance of juvenile bull sharks ( Carcharhinus leucas ) in an estuary of the Florida Everglades, U.S.A. Logistic regression revealed that young‐of‐the‐year sharks were concentrated at a protected site 20 km upstream and were present in greater abundance when dissolved oxygen (DO) levels...
