Introduction The aquaculture in intertidal mudflat ponds on the coast of the East China Sea typically coexists with oceanic seaweed cultivation in the nearby open water area, forming an interconnected aquatic ecosystem. This study aimed to understand the impact of the seaweed cultivation on the water quality and microbial communities in their neighboring intertidal mudflat ponds. Methods A unique recirculating culture system w...

Underwater target detection exhibits extensive applications in marine target exploration and marine environmental monitoring. However, conventional images of underwater targets present challenges including blurred contour information, complex environmental conditions, and pronounced scattering effects. In this work, an underwater target detection method based on YOLOv10 is designed, and the detection performance is compared wi...

The coastal waters of Zhejiang feature a complex aquatic environment and abundant biological resources, creating an ideal habitat for various fish species. However, the systematic monitoring of fish larvae in these offshore waters is limited. This study collected 24,232 fish larvae using large plankton nets during April and November 2022, as well as February and July 2023, and identified 93 species, primarily warm-temperate an...
