Incorporating DAF Into Flocculation Process to Enhance Particle Removal During Intermittent Events

open access: yesAWWA Water Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study compared a standard Direct Filtration process (DFSTD) with a similar process that incorporated dissolved air flotation into a flocculation basin (DFDAF) to mitigate the effect of particle loading events on filter run time and water quality.

Where Are You From? Finding the Origin of the Recently Observed Sprat in Iceland Using a Panel of SNPs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
European sprat can be divided into distinct genetic groups in the NE Atlantic, that is, Norwegian fjords, Baltic Sea and an oceanic component. The species has been increasingly reported in Icelandic waters since 2017. To investigate the source of introduction, Icelandic sprat has been genotyped and analyzed in comparison with existing reference data ...

Assessing ballast treatment standards for effect on rate of establishment using a stochastic model of the green crab [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper describes a stochastic model used to characterize the probability/risk of NIS establishment from ships' ballast water discharges. Establishment is defined as the existence of a sufficient number of individuals of a species to provide for a ...

Potential Invasive Indo‐Pacific Acropora in a Coral Reef of Venezuela: A Contribution to Their Morphological and Molecular Knowledge

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We report the first record of a non‐native hermatypic coral in Venezuela, exhibiting biological traits characteristic of invasive species. The coral is a member of the genus Acropora (Scleractinia: Acroporidae), native to the Indo‐Pacific. This non‐native petrous coral occurred in a reef of the Morrocoy National Park, in the southern Caribbean.

Genomic Divergence Between Octopus vulgaris and Its Undescribed Sister Species From the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Octopus vulgaris Type III — an undescribed Southern Hemisphere lineage occurring along the South African coast and Amsterdam Island — is genomically distinct from O. vulgaris sensu stricto and O. sinensis, as inferred from phylogenetic analyses of 338 nuclear loci and complete mitochondrial genomes, supporting the need for taxonomic re‐evaluation of ...

Role of Reporting in Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement of Ballast Water Management

open access: yesASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development, 2018
The Decision Support System (DSS) for ballast water management in any given port is dependent on the availability of information on ballast water carried by a ship in advance. Collation of information through Ballast Water Reporting Forms (BWRF) has been
