The ship-generated wave causes erosive damage to the slopes of inland waterways and confined waters such as the coastal zone. This critical issue is essentially associated with the navigational safety and sustainable development of coastlines, so it is vital to predicting the maximum wave height of the ship-generated wave ( H m ) in the coastline of confined waters. The prediction equations of prior research works are mostly b...

Water temperature plays a crucial role in the growth, survival, and reproduction of fish species, as they make up the majority of aquatic fauna. In this study, the effects of low temperature were studied on the functional state of juvenile golden pompano ( Trachinotus ovatus ) under low-temperature stress. The study was conducted at 28°C in the control group and 18°C in the cold group for 14 d to determine the intestinal tissu...

An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron cana...

Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are glutathione-dependent oxidoreductases that belong to the thioredoxin (Trx) superfamily and are an essential part of the redox system in living organisms. However, there is a serious lack of sequence information and functional validation associated with Grxs in crustaceans. In this study, a new Grx gene ( PmGrx5 ) was identified and characterized in black tiger shrimp ( Penaeus monodon ). The full-lengt...

Eutrophic coastal regions are highly productive and greatly influenced by human activities. Primary production supporting the coastal ecosystems is supposed to be affected by progressive ocean acidification driven by increasing CO 2 emissions. In order to investigate the effects of high p CO 2 (HC) on eutrophic plankton community structure and ecological functions, we employed 9 mesocosms and carried out an experiment under am...
