Offshore monopile foundations endure complex loads during service. They bear vertical loads from the superstructure’s self-weight and lateral cyclic loads (e.g., wind, waves), while near-coastal seabeds are usually sloped. To resolve these issues, model pile tests under combined vertical and lateral cyclic loads were carried out to study how slope angle and vertical load affect monopile deformation. A numerical model was valid...

Aquaculture expansion to meet global protein demand has intensified concerns over nutrient pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. While floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) are proven for water quality improvement, their potential to mitigate GHG emissions in marine aquaculture remains poorly understood. This study quantitatively evaluated the dual capacity of Sesuvium portulacastrum FTWs to (a) regulate dissolved inorgan...

Integrated rice–fish farming, crucial for sustainable agriculture, relies on the judicious use of pesticide. This study evaluates the toxicity of six common rice-field pesticides on Procypris merus (rice flower carp), a key species in these systems. We conducted acute and chronic toxicity tests, assessing survival, growth, oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, MDA, 8-OHdG), and neurotoxicity (AChE). Results revealed a spectrum of toxici...
