Pot fisheries are a crucial component of small‐scale fisheries worldwide, characterized by their low environmental impact, high species selectivity, and superior catch quality. However, these fisheries are often constrained by poor size selectivity, which results in substantial bycatch of juvenile target species and remains a major challenge for pot fisheries management globally. Incorporating escape gaps or increasing mesh si...

Compound climate extremes, such as concurrent precipitation and temperature extremes, cause significant impacts on socioeconomics and ecosystems. Recent studies have made substantial progress in the specific type of compound extremes; however, characteristics of different types of compound precipitation and temperature extremes across the globe and their driving mechanisms remain limited understood. This study investigated cha...

The complex surface architecture of natural oyster reefs is widely considered to promote biological attachment, yet the underlying mechanisms and the relevance to the design of artificial reefs are not fully understood. Here, we combined field experiments, 3D surface characterization, and numerical modelling to quantify how reef-like roughness regulates biofouling development and near-wall flow around artificial substrates. Su...
