Nitrate Transport, Denitrification, and Discharge in Tide‐Controlled Fractured Coastal Aquifers
Abstract Land‐derived nitrate degrades coastal groundwater quality, with denitrification in intertidal aquifers serving as a critical barrier to its seaward flux. While geologic heterogeneity has been recognized as a key factor affecting nitrate transport, denitrification, and discharge in coastal aquifers, few studies have investigated how fractures ...

Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Preliminary study of on-board handling of the blue swimming crabs in fisheries fleet
Abstract The operation of the Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) fleet is one day trip not far from the coast, that the handling activity of BSC was carried out on land. Target fishing grounds in waters more than 30 meters depth. Preliminary assessment was carried out to determine the type of vessel, cooling system, and handling by steaming at ...

Simple fix: The potential of escape gaps in enhancing the capture performance of crab pots used in the fishery of blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Portunidae), in the Philippines [PDF]
This study investigated the capture performance of two types of Philippine crab pots, a dome-type (DCP) and a box-type (BCP) installed with a pair of laboratory-tested escape gaps with flap through actual fishing operations.

Variability in swimming behavior among broods of blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) zoeae
Abstract Blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) support economically important fisheries across the eastern United States, which have exhibited historical variability in recruitment. Blue crab zoeae develop in surface waters over the continental shelf, where they need to constantly swim upward in order to stay within surface currents to successfully ...
